    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Out of curiosity, I checked the address. It was the location of a HD dealership in 1941, taking over the space of a former laundromat. The building is long gone.

    Beautiful leather. Intoxicating.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Apparently the fit was right for someone in the early 1950s. I believe the jacket would have been custom made. People were shorter and wore high rise trousers.

    What’s maddening is the jacket fits perfectly in the chest, shoulders and sleeves.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Early 1950s horsehide LAPD jacket by Cal Leathers. It's in fabulous overall condition. I love the steak-like leather, mouton cuffs, early Crown zipper, the heft of the green canvas pockets. Unfortunately, the waist is way too small for me. The overall length is also short. :(

    Vintage Fidelity Indian Ranger-style steerhide jacket, size 42-44

    Steerhide Indian Ranger-style jacket. Likely made by Fidelity, as indicated by the snap epaulettes, snaps on the belt and chain loop hanger. In his book "Motorcycle Jackets: A Century of Leather Design," Rin Tanaka suggests there may have been a connection between Fidelity of Boston and Indian...

    I’m hoping @tmitchell59 picks up the original so we can see him beaming while wearing it in one of his videos. :)

    I got a mannequin

    I’d like a mannequin, too, for the same use. For the best lighting, shoot outdoors. If not possible, find an indoor spot with the brightest natural light. Use every available light you have for auction photos. Can’t stand when sellers post blurry, dark, out-of-focus photos.

    Need help identifying vintage jacket

    I found this all-purpose utilitarian sport jacket pictured below at a thrift store. Feels like steerhide. Black quilted lining in the body and sleeves. Knit wool cuffs and waistband. Two open hand warmer pockets, one zip chest pocket, no interior pocket. The leather is in very nice shape. No...

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

    ^^ Yep, Lesco immediately came to mind for me as well. An underrated brand. Lesco often sewed the tag into the zip-in lining. That’s why so many of them go unidentified by sellers, if the lining is missing.

    Nice! Looks pretty much exactly like my Walter Dyer thick naked cowhide CR. The relationship between Natal and WD remains a mystery.
