    Leather jacket Fur (mouton) collar attachment pattern.

    Currently, I only have 3 original HD d pocket cycle champ types. What makes sense back in the day, production efficiency was vital for the bottom line of the company. For this reason, present day producers like Scott and others use pieces that are uniform regardless of what size the jacket's...

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

    Spot on man. Love those Al's so underrated. I have the very same one also. Got mine from a member here. Al's leather flow so very nice on your body. If you ever want to reproduce the batch, let me know. I will make one and send it to you with pre sewn perforation so you just follow the...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    You quickly pick up that Sportster. I have been trying to get one in my size since the 2000. Jmax sold one in pristine condition at a screaming deal, but lost focus on the sale and someone beat me to it. I still have my first one, I got in 1979 when I was a young hard worker, I wore it for...

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

    Old school New Mexico was and still the place to get your best spoke suede leather jacket. The old school methods of construction are hard to beat. In one of my trips to visit my people (Yaqui) in the four corners area, I had a master crafted me a beautiful jacket. Love it. And will always...

    How long does it take Aero to produce a jacket? Confirmation process is taking a very long time

    I will never wait for a jacket for Aero. If I am waiting for a big maker, I will take my man from Greece. For those who live in America, is hard to beat our friends from SF and NY. Besides, I rather keep my funds in the US. Lastly, I will first buy from a member at this forum than any other...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Beautiful jacket. The design is so trim. A person must be a women's size 4 or smaller to fit on to this type of jacket. At a show, I did actually see a very young woman size 2 in one of those jackets label size 8.

    Hello Chris, There is a wealth of info here. Our friend Canuck Panda posted some original advertisement from RMC NZ. Personally, I really like the NZ batches they did produce in the late 90s and early 2k. Your jacket is a replica of the cycle champ, originally produced in 1958. I have one...

    I love mittens. Took them from Paris to Almaty. Then some more to Central Asia West and Back to Malaga. Close second are gauntlets. Lately, I have been using German gauntlet hybrid phantons. I am in the process of making my own deer/horsehide 30's era gauntlet. Something like this but...

    Taubers of California

    I do have some Taubers. Some came in the crown type and other with Talon. Even the big #10 zips fail often. However, the zip looks original to the jacket. If you would like a closer opinion about the zipper, post several close-ups of the zipper pull and slider, as well as the sewing job on...

    Leather jacket Fur (mouton) collar attachment pattern.

    Master class in how to represent the collar using the graph. Both front and rear on the graph. Photographing the collar on the jacket is sweet. I must say, your cycle champ is the fifth different I have seen. All five have a very different D pocket. Perhaps there are more?

    Leather jacket Fur (mouton) collar attachment pattern.

    Excellent detail images of all vital parts of the collars. I truly thank you for taking the time for contributing to the tread. If is possible, to send images using the graph paper? The graph paper allows for viewers to make an accurate recreation of the original. Thanks again.

    Vintage Cal Leather Horse Hide CHP 60s Black Motorcycle Jacket 44-46 true 25" PtoP

    Beautiful jacket. I created a tread that helps everyone find hard to find reference items for the jackets. Such as mouton collars and leather batch holders, neck protector/covers etc. https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/leather-jacket-fur-mouton-collar-attachment-pattern.108468/ I was...

    Vintage Cal Leather Horse Hide CHP 60s Black Motorcycle Jacket 44-46 true 25" PtoP

    Very nice jacket. Those jackets were made with an incredible dense hide. I have two of the x zips in this hide. Mine is heavy, like 7 lbs for a size 44L.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Out of sight. Game over combo. Friend, please take the time if to lubricate all the hardware on the jacket. The pencil approach is the best with your jacket. If you already did a good lubrication? Please slowly work the teeth and sliders and pulls slowly so that the graphite can work its...
