    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Another unique CSC jacket! I continue to be amazed at the variety of styles CSC made. I've never seen one like this. This too, brings back the 30s into the 50s. Amazing! There is another odd CSC on ebay now with a button front. Appears to be a lighter leather too.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    I wanted that jacket too. I just can't buy jackets that don't fit me. I've not seen another Californian like this for Sears or anyone else. It was probably produce early in the 50s, perhaps the first use of this CSC tag. The jacket looks like a throwback to earlier jackets. The button...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Most Hercules Civilian A2 jackets were made by Appalachian,, CSC made some. I don't know that I've seen one, like this one, made by Roughwear Clothing. If this were a bit bigger I would be tempted. This is far superior to the run of the mill A2, much better than an Appalachian. Also from the...

    The East West is a week late tomorrow and probably a couple of days away. I do have two others that should be arriving on Tuesday, hopefully three in a Day. Got to mail one to Canada tomorrow. A fellow came from the past just as I was doing an inventory. Got one I don't wear.

    Roughwear Clothing 2 way pocket. Here it is with the Hercules label and lighter lining with an Aviator collar. I wanted that jacket, you did well even with the stitches. The lining is probably an order for that retailer My jacket has a Talon sunrise zipper. The jacket is sold. I would...

    Ralphs-Pugh Company

    Anyone that is interested in vintage leather jackets needs to read this thread. This thread confirms the companies place in history as one of the premier makers of leather jackets. After re-reading this thread I Crown them King! (at least in my realm) Most makers can come up with at...

    Ralphs-Pugh Company

    I don't know the answer on this lining. Never seen anything on any jacket like it. At the time this was made, they were probably custom ordered. The catalog only shows 4 models. This was near the end of leather jacket production for the company. Probably too much competition in the 50s to...

    MW Windward 40-42

    I owned this exact Windward. I can attest to the high quality of the jacket. Actually the pictures tell the story. I'm not fond of certain makers 50s steerhide, not the case here. Now I know why. I just identified these jackets in the What are you wearing thread. I posted pictures of...
