Wow!!! All excellent info that I was not aware of!!!! 1984!!!????? I had no idea they were still kickin by then..... The rarity of their jackets led me to think they died out like early to mid 70s. With a four decade operation, you'd think you might see more of their jackets around...
Ok. Taubers must have lasted beyond some of its contemporaries into the late 60s early 70s or so. That would be sort of the onset of YKK use in domestic jackets as perhaps Talon started to fade having had its changes in manufacturing/ownership etc. Interesting. You don't see many actual...
They have the common locality of both being in SF---and several similar traits. Could be an imitator or a spin off sorta thing where a Taubers tailor went out on his/her own (Like the supposed story of Al's --- who it is said came from CAL Leathers) or took over the reigns perhaps when Taubers...
Cool HH Rich Sher in very good condition. Knits are a little ragged but the leather is excellent and the tags including the union made tag---are all intact. Larger vintage size but it has a super SHORT back (23 1/8") or I'd have snatched it up. Decent price and offers could always be...

That is what I thought when I saw this jacket. Isn't this the "WASHABLE GOATSKIN"???? Killer jacket. I wonder if they even made them bigger than this size??? I have only seen 3-4 and always in a really small size. Goat is great.
Old Excelled. Proof that almost every maker made cool jackets at some point even if that same maker's more modern stuff is crummy. Very much like Golden Bear......
You don't see these Excelled labels often......and with the visibly evident flimsy label material and stitching, its easy to see...
Small sized JUST LEATHER........ looks stout......not a deal at asking but with offer option .

I don't think this can be elevated to an absolute certainty as far as identifying markings go, and it is certainly generic, but it seems that this tag is associated with Excelled. And that stain outline strongly suggests an Excelled label as well.
Others may see something different.
I figured if anyone had them, it would actually be you!!! Lol...... You know what you're doin!!! I know you have done a lot of your own work. Maybe post a before and after if you have the time.
This could almost warrant its own thread. I'd be interested as well in the knits info. I have found them from time to time but they aren't like NOS or anything. Besides Dena and Johnson Leather, there are a couple of tailors that seem to specialize in flight jacket repairs and the knits are...
Isn't Easter supposed to be like Connie's wedding on The Godfather????? "No vintage jacket Seller can refuse a measurement request on Easter Sunday......"
