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

    @tmitchell59 --- I picture this playing out as a movie scene with you hitting on a widow at her husband's funeral ===THEN paying your condolences to her..... LOL...... It just struck me funny......

    Leather Cafe Racer Sizing Question

    That fit is a 9 out of 10. Like myself, you aren't riding with it so you don't need it to be skin tight. I personally like a bit of space. I think it looks great on you. As others have mentioned though----this is a 2 pronged question almost-- because you are considering alterations. DON'T...

    Oh Yes I did see this before!!!! Fantastic solution. I have done it more crudely stuffing the jacket with towels and sheets. Really made a difference on this one!!! I wonder if you could resurrect the Mulholland with this method. Probably not 100% but I wonder how much it can be remedied...

    I haven't ever bought a jacket this crinkly. But I have had several with multiple serious storage creases. I get the jackets wet and press them flat with weights, books, and plywood. Its worked out really well. This is a freakin raisin though............ It seems no one has been able to...

    Cue the music from the BLUE OYSTER BAR............................ You think these Macho Man jackets have sweat and patina from miles of open road riding and late night rumbles with the Socs???? Think again!!!!!

    Hercules 1950's Square Pocket 40

    I love these jackets. This one was a tad too small altho I spent plenty of time trying to tell myself I could fit into it. Whoever bought it got a great price and a cool jacket. Welcome to the SPONGE BOB SQUARE POCKETS club!!!!!!! ***"Sponge Bob Square Pockets" is a registered trademark of...

    I went and looked at the jackets I have that are Branded/Orchard and none of them have Branded labels. One has a label that says PH YUBA CITY on it....... I recall that I went looking all around to find the maker of this jacket with the PH...... I contacted several makers and those that...

    I'm interested in this as well. Having 3 CRs from them-----I can say that I do not believe the Orchards ever had a label. My understanding is that Orchard was the name of the district or the street where the place was located in the Garment district area of NY. The jackets I have and have...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Its been said before-----perhaps the most underrated American made jacket maker. At least---one of them anyway. Very sturdy jackets and VERY affordable prices. Sometimes shamefully so. I'm sad they are no longer in business. They made a solid product.

    I would think it would be best to make it for all things new and vintage so that we can basically not clog up the other threads 2 weeks after the initial subject jacket is brought up. It keeps the other threads on point......... I can be a serial thread derailer with my various ramblings..........

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Yeah........it looks to be a more recent model and the hide looks a bit pebbly. Serval zips........ Really the price and fairly unworn condition (not that someone didn't wear it---but it doesn't exhibit many signs of wear) made me bite on it to give it a try. Being that a lot of Cals---like...

    I took a flyer on this jacket. Apparently, @JMax and I both suffer from the same rare form of insomnia where we awaken late at night and buy jackets we don't need....... I have been on a Cafe Racer kick the last few months and I always wanted to try a Cal. I have been circling a few lately...

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

    Ciao, the 44---assuming it is American sizing we are talking about--- would fall into the size Large category in my opinion. I believe a 44 in European sizes is a 34 in American sizing. So to be clear---if it is an American or British made jacket with a tagged size 44---that would be...

    Photos of cool jackets owned by others (non-brand specific)

    Dude, I still have gnarly deep gougey scratches on some antique chairs from Early 2000 D-Bag guests with overly bedazzled back pockets scraping them up!!!!!!!! I never bought into this look myself. Instead of biting on the latest fads. I just keep EVERY ITEM OF CLOTHING FOREVER until it comes...

    Period zipper finds

    Just my 2 cents----but I purchased what was listed as a NOS #10 Brass Talon from this Seller and I opted to get one with a beige tape and dye it black with fabric markers (turned out perfect). I also antiqued the whole zipper as best I could as it was going on an old unlabeled Taubers with...

    The Japanese Sellers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lol....... I say this mostly tongue in cheek.......... Every jacket from Japan is gonna be smallish. Almost always pretty damn cool jackets too. I think that the strong Japanese interest and their vibrant reproduction market does infuse more smaller...
