    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Chilly morning and I miss wearing leather jackets, so.... Chocolate brown Kehoe CR, 1970s:

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Must be a different jacket. No issues with any of the original zippers on mine.

    Beck Horsehide Cafe Racer by Good Wear Leather

    I have to disagree. A label is an identifier, not just for today but also for the future. Putting a Californian Sportswear label in a jacket that has no relation to the jacket's design or maker will confuse some future owner. Borders on misrepresentation. If a Beck label couldn't be sewn...

    Beck Horsehide Cafe Racer by Good Wear Leather

    I'm not sure I agree with that practice.

    Beck Horsehide Cafe Racer by Good Wear Leather

    Real nice jacket. I also like the red lining. But I'm a bit confused. If this Good Wear jacket is modeled after a Beck (made by Schott), then why does it have a Californian Sportswear label inside? The companies are not related, correct?

    Taubers chp horsehide

    This jacket is in really nice condition and listed at a very fair price. Too large for me of I'd be all in. GLWTS.

    ^ This is why I don’t bid on jackets listed by European sellers. Too risky.

    This one’s been in my watch list for a while. It has very nice proportions.

    Vanson Model B House Cowhide Genuine Leather Cafe Racer Motorcycle Jacket SZ 42

    I’m less interested in what Vanson’s chart says this jacket measures than what the jacket itself actually measures.

    Vanson Model B House Cowhide Genuine Leather Cafe Racer Motorcycle Jacket SZ 42

    I get that it’s longer than a Comet. The remaining measurements are off.

    Vanson Model B House Cowhide Genuine Leather Cafe Racer Motorcycle Jacket SZ 42

    Really nice jacket, but the measurements as presented are confusing. I have a Vanson Comet size 42 and its measurements are nothing like what's provided in this listing. Forget providing full circumference measurements. Forget the Vanson chart. Zip the jacket and lay it flat, use a tailors...

    Damn, the most recent posts of those Sears jackets made me miss my own cross-zips. Been to hot to wear them this summer and will remain so for months. Just pulled one out and am wearing it inside at my desk, LOL.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Well, that's interesting because isn't the jacket below pretty much the same model? I believe someone spotted it and posted it in earlier in this thread. Sold yesterday for $399, just one bid. So maybe not so rare after all...

    A tale of two Storm Riders

    The shorter length wouldn’t bother me now. It did at the time but that was when I didn’t “get it.” I have hopes of finding a gently used USA version (with no hand warmers) on eBay at some point. Size 40 if anyone has one for a good home.

    Yeah, I’d be all over that jacket if it weren’t for the scraped up shoulder.

    A tale of two Storm Riders

    I once had a vintage Lee Storm Rider in great condition. I didn’t understand the short length at that time and sold it. Been kicking myself lately over that. Congratulations on your purchases. They look great.

    It was @rockabilly. Check out the “new jackets coming” thread. Happy for him. :)
