    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Your posts, which consistently promote some vague “leather shop” and contain no photos, reek of spam. I expect a moderator to step in at some point and handle this appropriately.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    This seller has no clue how to measure a jacket. First, use a tailor’s tape measure instead of a carpenter’s metal tape measure. Second, if you want to sell a jacket, get the measurements right. Obviously the diagram doesn’t match the photos. Really, it’s not that hard.

    Lets see those Motorcycle Jackets!

    Great jacket. And you're right--there's almost next to no information out there about the Kehoe brand. I did a search a while back on newspapers.com and it appears Kehoe went out of business around 1978. Most labels say "St. Clair Shores, Michigan" while others say "Warren, Michigan." Both are...

    Need help identifying vintage Motorcycle Jacket

    This is a good point and I wondered if the badge holder on Technovox's jacket was an add-on modification to a civilian jacket. There are no other features like belt loops or laced sides that would indicate it was made specifically for police.

    Need help identifying vintage Motorcycle Jacket

    Tanaka's book (Motorcycle Jackets: A Century of Design) shows a Ralphs-Pugh jacket with what appears to be very similar herringbone lining. Ralphs-Pugh also used button cuffs and made police jackets. Lots of companies in the 1930s/40s used two-panel backs and button cuffs. Really hard to pin...

    safety of chrome tanned leathet or any type of leather

    One thing I've wondered about from time to time is the "scent" some jackets have. I'm not talking about the odor of an unclean jacket, but the scent of the leather itself. My understanding is what we pick up with our noses isn't really the leather but a residual odor from the chemical tanning...

    Need help identifying vintage Motorcycle Jacket

    Given the lining, I'd say Block Built is a good guess. The biggest identifying factor may be the buckles on the side adjustment tabs, which appear to be unique. I assume they are adjustable?

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

    I sent the serial number to Vanson. They tell me my Comet was made in Feb. 2003. So it’s the older heavier comp weight. Winner!
