    There are many clues. However, the easy to spot is the single stitching on the end of the wrist.

    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    Love that style. Very comfortable. It reminds me of my JL made for me by the man himself. There is an image of me wearing it in the forum. The leather is thick and heavy. Not waxy at all. However, I put in some conditioner and it gets dark fast.

    No. There are many other features of the jacket that are not consistent with building techniques of Cal.

    any good makers of bullhide leather jackets?

    I have one so-called bull hide. A master jacket maker made a d pocket for me some 30 years ago. The jacket is very stiff and has not worn much. Personally in heavy jackets, the cxl steerhide is hard to beat.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Ok, jacket. I had one of them. Due to the high price, I would never purchase such a thing. Nothing special. Leather is similar to a very nice espirit cafe racer.

    Perfect fit. Love that hide. Just like my Reed. Those pocket puller chains were present in my Reed early '60s production jacket.

    Vintage Steerhide Buco J-24

    Very nice pick up. Love those buco's steer hide jackets. Mine is very supple and soft. Unlike some of my horsehides. The crown main zip looks like a replacement. It would be cool is in fact the crown is original to the jacket. Good cleaning and conditioning will bring it back to...

    Beautiful hide and hardware on the jacket. The fit looks short on the body and about 1/2 size big on the chest/shoulder area.

    Gritzner sewing machine from my dutch grandmother. Looking for info on it.

    Friend, beautiful machine. By the design, it looks like the late '30s or '40s. I must say, the first thing I would do is to take out of the sun. Also, if you can, remove the leather belt from the wheel. With respect, search engines online must have more information than me. If you are in...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Those are some cool images. I think they are more in the late '40s and early '50s. I have several in different hides. I based my observations on original zip production, construction methods, and leather production techniques. My goat leather model has the same skin as in my Korean period...

    Your article is excellent. Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed jacket reconstruction. That jacket is so very nice. It reminds me of a Vanson I currently have. The hide is basically the same as one cool jacket I restored some time ago. Here are some of the images before...
