    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Vintage Vanson C2 just came in. This may be the best-patterned Perfecto-style jacket out there. Soo comfortable. Perfect length. The cowhide is thick and soft. TFL-ers looking for a nice cross-zip really should give the C2 a chance. @dudewuttheheck has already showed what a great jacket it is...

    Let me get this straight: the guy is in Mexico on vacation, hitting sightseeing sites, bars, and beaches, all the while identifying vintage jackets on old American movies, in a bar, no less. That's dedication.

    Thoughts on Chapal – Quality, Reputation, and Personal Experiences?

    Because most of the (very high) price you pay is for the branding. It is fine if you want to pay for the prestige of a luxury brand. Most here would rather pay for quality hides and workmanship which usually amounts to about 1/2 of Chapal prices or less (ballpark).

    Thoughts on Chapal – Quality, Reputation, and Personal Experiences?

    Clearly Chapal is a luxury brand. There is very little value there for the leather jacket connoiseur.

    The jacket will definitely go well with your bikes! The leather taylor in Berkeley - is this the Hungarian guy? I forgot the name, but there is a pretty famous leather repair shop there.

    Thank you. Indeed, it is a dark chocolate color; I think it goes well with light pants and shirt.

    I just got $275 offer from the seller. He will probably take $250. For $250, a Spiegel is a screaming deal. One of the best vintage jackets out there.

    I just realized I was giving advice to the Leather Alchemy thread OP!!! LOL, you won't have trouble fixing the cut; keep us apprised on that and the zipper. The tape failure is all too common, but there are no easy solutions.

    This jacket is soooo awesome. The cut, because it is sharp, will be easy to repair, almost invisible. The most robust way would be glue the "lips" of the cut together, and then get under the lining and glue a patch of leather on the other side. Rubber cement works well. It may hold without the...
