    Not a jacket, but vintage HD horsehide mittens. I bet these don't show up often. https://www.ebay.com/itm/HARLEY-DAVIDSON-Buco-Vintage-HORSEHIDE-Shearling-LEATHER-Gauntlet-MITTS-Sz-LG/264285061575?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

    Vintage Taubers cafe jacket - size 40-42

    The shoulders and chest are just a little too wide and the sleeves are a little too short for me, or else I’d be wearing that jacket proudly. It’s worth noting that Taubers made a lot of custom jackets, so their sizing can vary quite a bit.

    Red Rot, Cracks, and Flaking...When is a jacket too far gone?

    Main zipper replacement is not cheap and when done improperly it can ruin a jacket.

    Just got my 1968 unlined Bates racing shirt back from the seamstress. Zipper fixed, new elastic bands. So comfortable to wear. I've been trading emails with the seller (original owner). He's in the process of moving but says he'll send photos of him wearing it at flat track races from the 1970s...

    That Schott looks great on you. I really like the feel of my suede Schott, too (the one with the fringe). Mine still needs to be broken in.

    Vintage clothing seller on Instagram. Asking price was $450.

    That’s my guess. I just have to think that the sleeves would have been too short, since I missed out on that jacket.

    Love this. And the angled pockets are icing on the cake.

    It would fit me. But the missing belt loops are a big issue. Plus some dope sewed down the collar ends. I know this could be fixed but repair costs can add up.

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

    What a beut! Where do you find this great stuff in these sizes? Much easier to find sizes 38-40.

    This is a tale of woe and sadness. I came this close to buying the jacket pictured, but someone else bought it while the seller was sending me measurements. Hopefully, it was someone here so we can see more of it in action. Said to be 1930s/1940s.

    Advice on what to do with this Buco J-27?

    I’m not sure I liked the leather on the Metropolitan. Almost too soft. I’d have to handle another in person to see if the leather has similar characteristics.

    Advice on what to do with this Buco J-27?

    Yes, I am returning it and will keep my eyes peeled for another. Maybe I’ll even come across a Buco.

    Super cool! I didn’t know Langlitz made a Cascade that wasn’t a cross-zip.
