    Block Bilt / H & L Block Appreciation Thread

    This has a removed patch in the badge area. Some modification of the belt loops, sleeves may have been shortened. A most interesting back design. This one I do believe is Steerhide. The collar from the jacket above also fits this guy.

    Block Bilt / H & L Block Appreciation Thread

    This police jacket has a Laskinlamb collar. The nicest collar I have own. It fits both of my Block police jackets. This one is dated 1940. No leather tag. This could be Bay Area Steerhide like Ralphs-Pugh used. I have not doubt the second police jacket is in this Steerhide.

    Dating and restoring this Sears Hercules FQHH jacket

    This is a mid 50s Hercules made by Roughwear Clothing Co. The Horsehide tag and construction are the clues. It will not have the feel of a new Aero horsehide. This was a "fashion" jacket, not intended to be heavy leather. I own this same jacket several years ago. It has an unusual back...

    Vintage Outerwear: Threads of the Past

    You sorta got luck starting with your jacket. These are difficult to find and cost accordingly. I get inquiries every time I post a pic. They are my favorite in the wools. Just hard to find.
