    Vintage Cal - It's changing my outlook on things

    @ton312, is Urad what Dena recommends? I feel like I remember the name from when I talked to her about leather products awhile back.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/402959207152 It sold for $220 awhile back, this new seller is a flipper. As someone who has been trying to sell three near mint Bates jackets for a 1/3 of the price, I can't help feel that $650 is a bit unrealistic. That first 50s Cal has fantastic grain, that's the...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Wow, I totally missed that padded cafe racer. I saw JMax's posts and Will's after it, but I must have scrolled right past the one in between. Definitely a great deal. Not a Cal though, I think.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    It's the first straight zip brown Cal I've seen, anyway, but the zipper replacement is just...so bad. Whether it was DIY-happy owner or a "professional" job, I can't understand how someone can totally miss the mark. Not only to place the zipper in the wrong place, but in the process, sew shut...

    Vintage Outerwear: Threads of the Past

    Well, to anyone interested, here's the link. $230 shipped, roughly. It doesn't look bad, but not really sure of the flip potential, so...passing for now.

    Vintage Outerwear: Threads of the Past

    This is a random jacket I was thinking about trying to flip, but I was surprised I was having so much trouble IDing a brand. Yep - the "maker" is Robert Hall, but I assumed there was another company that actually made the jackets. Maybe they did things in-house? This has a different back style...

    Vintage Outerwear: Threads of the Past

    Do you guys know who this maker is? It was made for an East Coast retailer. I feel like the name is on the tip of my tongue, but I can't figure it out. Corduroy lining at the hem, red quilted lining, one star epaulets. Maybe Windward? '

    TFL sale price

    What TFL is intended for in regards to the classifieds listings is something I have considered myself. More recently this year and the last, I've gotten into buying and selling jackets explicitly for a profit. While it's nothing more than a side hustle, it's also made a difference in terms of...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    As far as the maker goes, I’m fairly sure it’s a Japanese company. Its very similar to some Tojo(?) / Indian Sportswear jackets I’ve seen.

    G-1 Opinions!

    Ebay is probably the most reliable bet. This forum used to be really into A-2, G-1s, and military style leather jackets, but that interest has changed pretty notably and so nowadays its not often that people are selling G-1s here on the classified. There are other selling sites, such as Grailed...

    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    Not really an outerwear question, but I am about to have less closet space, so I'll be purchasing a rack to hang my jackets on. Anyone have any recommendations for something that will be able to handle the weight of a lot of jackets? There's a bunch of heavyweight options out there, not sure if...

    G-1 Opinions!

    I'm not a G-1 expert, but that seems very high in comparison to what you can get a similar jacket for. Those bidders are definitely overpaying compared to the average selling price. Maybe a situation where people get caught in the moment bidding against each other and forget about the cost. As...

    Your message to makers...

    Sometime in the last couple years, they had one tannery that was producing their competition weight leather close down for business. Then a second tannery that started to produce comp weight leather burned down and closed as well. I'm not sure if that order is right (did one close down, then the...

    Just when you thought you had seen it all . . . (Warning: Not for the fainthearted)

    https://www.etsy.com/listing/1014353502/heavily-distressed-vintage-1950s-grais This jacket makes me feel gross looking at it.

    G-1 Opinions!

    Just my $0.02, but I think the best bet to finding a quality G-1 is one that has a mouton collar. The D series had many jackets with mouton, and many without. You could also just go even earlier than that, thereby guaranteeing that you will have goatskin and mouton. For instance...
