What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?
That is such a nice sample of the J80's. The SH used in the J81 during those years is just exceptional. I have one HD that used that very same hide. They are thick and soft. The newer version of SH develops a great patina. You can't go wrong with that either. I have seen that J81 several...- photo2u

That is exactly my situation now. I saw a jacket that is on my ALL TIME short list but the price is high. The jacket is in pristine condition in my size. However, the price tag will take some time to convince.- photo2u

Your image of the 30’s Ralphs Pugh aviator just answer a question regarding late 30's Harley Davidson Maker. The 30’s Ralphs Pugh aviator is a match for my friend Dann Jauregui's HD label original. He always suspected it was a Ralphs Pugh. Wow it only took some 30 years...- photo2u

Help: Rainbow Country Zipper Not Working
But they look so cool! Sadly, companies can make excellent zips but they make a financial decision not to. YKK does make a nice vintage line. I have seen them and like them very much. Additionally, they are other brands that do make exceptional vintage zippers. The problem is with the...- photo2u

The 15-91 can use tex 90 thread with no problem. If you use a leather needle the machine works well. No problems what so ever. If you spend some time learning how the machine works, it will handle any leather jacket repair or construction. Cotton or nylon thread is the way to go with this...- photo2u
