    Which leather jacket for motorcycle (preferably brown) ?

    Vanson makes the only quality jacket with removal armor I know of. I Love Dainese but would not wear them when not riding.

    Join the club. Those two sizes are often in demand. I prefer the fit of the smaller one (42). Have you consider the Vanson Harley cycle King?

    Repair on a 1930s grizzly?

    Magnifying glass. Also, the rips on the thread cut the mouton. Look at the wool side. Begin with it makes sense the thread would be based on properly overlaying the mouton on the jacket hide. Also, I have seen some glue used to help keep the two leather pieces taunt before the sewing...

    California Sportswear Co Speed King (Horsehide Leather Jacket)

    I love the Idaho leather company. They produce excellent quality products. I believe they have been in business since the 30's? So it is very possible it is original to the jacket. My biker/police jackets have a huge belt loop openings. A 2.5 belt will fit just fine. In the past, I...

    FS or FT Early Sears Oakbrook D-Pocket Leather Jacket Size 44?

    Nice jacket. Those conmartic are solid. I wonder what happened to the main zipper. Mine is an aluminum #10 talon. This jacket must be older than all of the similar label jackets. My guess it had an original #5? At any rate, nice jacket.

    Sears Motorcylce Jacket History 1949-1963

    I can photograph the newer and older Oakbrook's. I also can throw the Hercules in the mix. The older oak brooks have a slightly different label than the newer one. If you take out some room of the shoulders of the Herc, the Oakbrook is a near perfect image of the Herc.
