    I can get a brand new Schott 618 HH from a retail store for $560 shipped directly from the factory to my home. I Really like the Legendary Buco but....... the price and the company history keep me thinking about the 618.

    Hey Hoosier how old is your legendary jacket and is their sizing correct? What are your thoughts? It seems a much more realistic cut for the modern rider than a Schott 618.

    Yes, I appreciate the pictures, thank you Hoosier . For me color wasn't a issue, because I prefer black for a motorcycle Jacket . My intent was to involve those who would only consider brown in the conversation. Not many company's offer a authentic H.H. style in brown. The thread seemed to focus...

    Interesting, I will wear a A-2 if I want to wear a brown jacket w/ my cycle. Problem is, their are multiple shades of brown. Yet only one shade of black. That is just one reason why people have their favorite company, skin and color regarding A-2's. I have read here, some just don't want a black...

    Spearhead Jackets

    I have been considering a B-10 jacket or a M-41 Parsons coat from Spearhead. I bought a cap from them and was considering a jacket then. Their email response said, they would not combine shipping.

    My Grandfather said, "he managed every department at Sears throughout the years". Grandpa moved the family every three to four years as he was promoted and accepted responsibility of bigger stores. That is how the family ended up here. It was Des Moines or a store in Buffalo, N.Y. To deny a...

    It's funny because everything we wore growing up was purchased at Sears. I remember my Grandfather said, "know one wore dungarees but peopple that were doing work. Now I realize he meant "Levi's". That said, I observe in my fathers High School Yearbooks, people were wearing slacks to school in...
