    Leather Trucker Levi's / Lee / Type-whatever jackets!

    I've just bought this Lee trucker jacket from eBay uk but I've never seen the style of tag that's Inside it. A quick Google lens came up with a Cross denim trucker with the similar label supposedly dating to the 1990's. Does anyone here know who Cross were/are and the age of the Lee trucker...

    WTB mouton type snap on police jacket collar

    Jackets that are/were made with detchable collars have discreet snaps ie snaps attached to the back layer of the collar leather and are invisible from the front and do not ruin the look of the collar when used without the detachable 'mouton' collar. the snaps are usually only 2 in number and are...

    WTB mouton type snap on police jacket collar

    True but the point I was making (for anyone thinking about tackling the task) was that if one can learn the complex procedures involved in saddle stitching, (it involves grooving pricking clamping and sewing with two needles - info for the uninitiated) then a simple running stitch or better...

    WTB mouton type snap on police jacket collar

    if you can sew knife sheaths the above is a piece of cake -you might not need the Velcro tags. I made it for a Schott d pocket when I found out they wanted $140 for their faux mouton version.

    WTB mouton type snap on police jacket collar

    You can buy most sizes and types of snaps on eBay. The sellers also sell the tools you need to fix them and YouTube will provide videos of how to. The mouton collars on Schott leather jackets and others I’ve seen are made of a piece of leather and a piece of mouton the same shape but slightly...

    WTB mouton type snap on police jacket collar

    If you’re skillful enough to modify one then why not just make one? Get hold of some black mouton, a piece of black leather, some snaps that fit those on your Police jacket and you’ll have a tailor made fit rather than a near fit job. ps advice is for taking or leaving up to you.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Aero zip sleeved Café Racer with their Thunder Bay label which I understand was/is used to signify a modified design. It’s beautifully broken in and very comfortable.

    Cleaning a goat-skin leather jacket?

    If it’s that bad then you’ll have to brush it with a soft wet brush to soften the mud and remove most of it and then wipe off the remaining smears of mud with a damp cloth or kitchen roll - absorbent paper.

    Aero Board racer zipper splits open

    Ask Aero for a replacement puller and instructions of how to change them over. Cheap and effective! - (they’ll probably send it for free)

    If you search TFL for Lesco leathers halfbelt you should pull up a jacket like the one above. Schott NYC made the same style at the same time (50’s-60’s) and Schott Europe remade it in black and also tan in the 90’s.

    It’s either a Schott or more likely a Lesco multi pocket. Mind you the label doesn’t appear to say either brand name. Perhaps it was made by one or the other for another retailer?

    Please help identify this ‘MA1’

    Anyone take a guess?

    Please help identify this ‘MA1’

    I realise it’s a long shot with the missing pocket label but it was cheap and it struck me as having age and high quality. The zipper is heavy duty and has pullers inside and outside with a leather fob attached to the inside pull. The leather attached to the outer puller dropped off in the wash...
