Newcomer seeking advice on what to look for.
I'm not looking for a cross zip type " biker jacket ", but if I was I know they are the most common thing out there which could be a good or bad thing.- TLW '90

Johnson and Walter Dyer seem to have made just the kind of jacket I have in mind too. Thanks for the info.- TLW '90

Newcomer seeking advice on what to look for.
Thank you for the info. I did some looking into the brands you mentioned and I can definitely see why there are tons of Lesco fans. This jaw dropper is available right now and in my size, but I still have a lot to learn and this could easily be a woman's jacket for all I know. Heres a nice...- TLW '90

Newcomer seeking advice on what to look for.
I am in the market for my next jacket and would like some tips or advice on what to look for and or keep in mind when looking for my next secondhand or vintage jacket. I've already made 4 impulsive Ebay purchases that didn't go so well, I'm looking to really do my homework this time and not...- TLW '90

Yes I'm just going to do as much learning as I can before I buy anything else. I have already learned a few very useful things. This jacket I think I will probably just list here, maybe for trade.- TLW '90

I got the other jacket in and it's not terrible I don't think, but the sleeves are a bit longer than I'd prefer and it seems to be a cheap bonded leather. I definitely have a lot to learn , and I need to be more careful about what I buy. Just because it's American made inexpensive and "...- TLW '90

Would you still wear it ? I'm just thinking that probably nobody but me and you guys here would know, and if it fits then why not since it's not really a woman's specific style.- TLW '90

Okay, I'm definitely done buying jackets for awhile. I did a little research and I think the Brooks may be a model 400 women's jacket because of the side zips in the rear , and the position of the pockets. I doubt anyone would see this jacket and know it's a woman's jacket though, so I don't...- TLW '90

I suspected that. It's probably going to go to Goodwill.- TLW '90

Did someone say jacket #4 ? :D That damn Ebay keeps sending me alerts and they got me again. This time they took a bit more from me, yep they got a whopping $53. But it wasn't so much of a gamble this time because I did a little homework and read up on things here first. Hopefully I did good...- TLW '90

Here is the Ebay sellers picture of the 3rd jacket I bought which is supposed to arrive tomorrow. I payed $26+shipping for it. The label is " it's a holiday " Boston Ma USA. I can find no information about the brand or company, but I am assuming it's probably from one of those 1970's pop up...- TLW '90

Those scratches can probably be blended pretty well. I have this thing called a Bolero shoe buffer that works wonders to blend scuffs and scratches in my boots. I have one thats falling apart that came out of my dads boot shine kit, probably purchased from the BX at FT Bliss TX in '78. I did...- TLW '90

This is the first leather jacket I bought. I payed $250 for it as unissued Illinois state police surplus last year from sportsmans guide. It was made by Taylor's leatherwear in 1990. I like the overall fit, feel, and heft of the jacket. The removable thinsulate liner, and the big sturdy 2...- TLW '90

I don't even know what the style could possibly be. What kind of fashion trend could have spawned this thing ? Hop hop or something?- TLW '90

I hope not. I've already got it with traditional knives, tools, and traditional American airguns. I suppose if I approach this much differently than my other hobbies I can probably make it work. If I've got a pocket knife some hand tools, or an airgun I'm just not using enough I will merely...- TLW '90

Here are some pictures of the horrible 2nd jacket I bought on Ebay last week. I'm starting to suspect that it may not be a mens coat but I really don't know. There are no defined shoulders, so it's over 12" across the armpits At first I thought maybe it's intended to have a liner because...- TLW '90

Hello. I'm mostly a blue collar guy who's idea of getting dressed up tends to be throwing on a clean shirt shining up my boots. On Christmas I'll iron that shirt and throw on my favorite bolo tie. I don't have much inclination towards fashion but like with most areas of interest for me I dislike...- TLW '90
