    FS: Late 30s early 40s Goatskin Sunburst Half Belt with Art Deco buckles

    I just wish I would fit on this particular beautiful jacket. Maybe in my late 30's I could still pulled it off. Now, the tacos are taking control of me. LOL.

    FS: Late 30s early 40s Goatskin Sunburst Half Belt with Art Deco buckles

    Minnesota Woolen all the way. MW had a sensable cuff feature that probably came from the aviation and later the motorcycle industry. Some of my favorite designs feature such cuffs. Which I personally is a very utilitarian feature if you put this jackets to work.

    Lost Worlds CHP HorseHide Jacket

    Personally, I would say you are fine with the thread Stu uses. However, I would love to see his jackets in 138 tex. Why not if possible? The problem I would see is the technician properly tuning the machine to accommodate the bigger thread. Regarding zippers, in the long run zippers will...

    Lost Worlds CHP HorseHide Jacket

    Friend, I am going to agree with you regarding your observations. I would ask him if he can do bonded nylon Tex 138 in your project. That is a strong tread for extra heavy duty jackets. Personally, I love that Tex 138 in most projects. You know, Some collectors do not pay attention to some...

    Anyone replace their Aero Cafe Racer Zipper with a #10 zip?

    Yes! They were. Excellent nickle finish on them. Personally, they look better than the 40s crowns. They were produced till mid 70s. Vansons used them in some of their heavier jackets.

    What’s a fair price for a good Cal jacket?

    I have several. One in the Highway patrol style and several others in the CR types. About 30 years ago, I took several jackets to Cal leathers for authentication. I was told that the Cal prototype I got from my friend Dan Jauregui was the only one two ever made and both were made in HH. The...

    What’s a fair price for a good Cal jacket?

    Anything in the 7th pound range (with out belt and mouton) is an excellent Cal. The straight zips tent to weight a little less in my experience then the X zip ones. There were two gents from the forum that are selling excellent jackets here, did you see them? I had bad experiences with some...

    What’s a fair price for a good Cal jacket?

    After reviewing the newer pit to pit images, the jacket is in the 42-44 size range. The jacket looks like a 70-80's model to me. The price is a little in the expensive side. Is it ok to wait for such a jacket to show up in the Uk? Have you reached in to this forum to see if anyone is selling...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I totally understand why you see it this way. However, this jacket is significant for many collectors. Back in the late 50s, there were few companies (Trojan) who were adding white as a safety feature. Additionally, Vinyl had its advantages over leather and was considered a new product for...

    Yes, it will go on the shaft. The higher the best, I will take some images on my RedWing Boots 2268. I also have them in my two pairs of redwing motorcycle boots and other engineering boots. While using regular Levis jeans 501 (boot cut) nothing gets on the way. I have opted for the #5...

    $95 for the sleeves and button repair? That is good price. Did your repair person also adjust the length?
