    Lets see those Motorcycle Jackets!

    I've been on the hunt for an older black Bates CR w/ white stripes for years at this point. Of course when I find one it's a 48. Gah! .. Of the ten or so CRs of theirs that have passed through my fingers this one is easily the cleanest with the most uniformly thick, heavy and <black> leather...

    Pre 1940s Stetson Westerns

    It is sewn, Daniel and I did include above a (small, seller's) pic of multi celled label (643 block). Looking for lot# was what I was fretting over in reply to Ross. I think, if sweat was not sewn, that'd be pointing to an even earlier hat no? Here's another seller pic of size tag, which I have...

    Pre 1940s Stetson Westerns

    Rescued this old dog as it was my size. Looks like I'll be digging through forum archives to get up to speed on filling moth divots ... at least sweat's in great shape. Initially I thought hat was an Arminto (which'd be number three for me) but compared to another, crown's not as tall and brim...

    Leather Police Jackets

    This Fidelity has been lingering on my local CL for literally 1.5 years ... getting cheaper and cheaper to boot. Finally caved and rescued it a few days ago. A 40 (i'm a 42) so fits nice and just a little trim.

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

    A dear friend of mine tells this cool story of being in the backwoods somewhere in upstate NY, literally atop a mountain, hasn't seen a soul in days... Floating on the breeze, he begins to hear two voices. The closer they get the more he's like "wait, I <know> that voice!" ... sure enough over...

    My dad love loved Burt and brought whole fam out to see Smokey And The Bandit in the theatre (I got turned on to Jerry Reed via that movie. where's the doc on him? ; ) Gator, The Longest Yard, Deliverance, Boogie Nights ... So good! This is ridiculous (w/ a very young Paul Franklin on steel...

    Five Bucos

    Wow wow. My humble submission is a now gone Allstate labeled Buco Sport. Cool jacket but I never understood choice of zip pulls for chest pockets.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    This Cal-Craft I recently traded Ton for has Cajon blackened zips as well. The zip side that's aligned w/ outside of jacket is more blacked than inside which makes me think it might be some kind of overspray. 1st pic "outside" zip, second inside.

    Vintage Outerwear: Threads of the Past

    Wish this one fit! I must've misunderstood as I remember Langlitz telling me C&C zips were 60s. In any event I hated parting w/ this one.

    Who wears/wore porkpies?

    Really enjoyed looking through this thread! Only hat I have that <might> qualify is my dark horse Borsa La Fuzzaro. To be perfectly honest I've always been afraid I was blaspheming by putting this bash to this survivor but I've never felt comfortable rocking what I consider the more typical...

    Thank you, Fruno Hat's not in my hands yet ; ) Care to venture a guess as to age? 50s?
