    Denim Jackets - New or Vintage

    I asked about the Prison Blues jackets a while back. Someone replied and said they are ROOMY. I wouldn’t expect one to be form-fitting.

    Well, if you buy one it’s $1200. But still not worth the price for me.

    Langlitz Cascade (Two of them!)

    I love my Cascade and see you love yours as well. It's such a well-designed jacket. Really comfortable to wear. They really nailed it with the back/shoulder design. And the stripes on the back make yours even more special.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Hey, who turned down the heat? We've dropped from 70° F to 39° F in just two days. Spring has been fickle. No matter. My quilt-lined Johnson Leathers M-200 (made for Worn Out West) is toasty warm.

    Vintage FQHH Rich-Sher cross-zip jacket

    Thanks, since that post about the dressing treatment last summer, I followed up with some Vaseline in the fall. The leather became even more dark and supple. It seemed to really take to the Pecards/Vaseline combo treatment.

    Vintage FQHH Rich-Sher cross-zip jacket

    Updating this thread because I've made a major discovery. "Rich-Sher" jackets were made by the Novelty Sportswear Manufacturing Company. Almost all the Rich-Sher jacket labels have "NS" in the logo, either in a crest or under a stylized arch. I found this reference in a 1957 newspaper ad...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    1983 Langlitz Cascade, brown cowhide. I marvel at how comfortable this jacket is at the chest, back and shoulders. Truly a simple, elegant and ergonomic design that has stood the test of time.

    Aero Style Magazine

    I'm surprised they don't offer anything but a downloadable PDF. Saves on printing and mailing costs. I suppose it's made up for in the jacket pricing. Still, looking forward to receiving my print copy.

    Vanson Model B - the search for my perfect cafe racer is over

    Beautiful jacket, @b1lf. Was this your primary jacket over that two-year period? How often did you wear it to break it in? I tired to click on your photos for enlargements but only got this:

    I’ve been watching this one. Hard to tell how clean it is when the seller props it lying on sickly grass that resembles a haystack.

    Brooks Cafe Racer?

    I saw the video before you started the thread. Cool jacket! To me it’s reminiscent of a trucker/cafe racer hybrid. The large collar lapels make it something else altogether. As noted above, the style seems 1970s to me despite the embroidered label.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Very cool jacket and I also like the chain link for a pull. I believe the Sears “Oakbrook” jackets are 1960s. The leather is said to be better than on the later “Leather Shop” jackets.
