    Period zipper finds

    I thought I'd start a thread since there is much interest in period zippers, and there is so much to learn. There are plenty of short threads/questions/discussions on zippers, but no "finds" thread. Not sure if a thread like that is really necessary; if Bartenders feel this should be merged with...

    FS: Montgomery Ward, Brown, 40, Selected FQHH, excellent , Styled in California

    Sadly for me, it is a true 40, not a "vintage 40", even a "large 40", so it must go. I take a modern 38 and "vintage 40", and this is just a tad large for me. See measurements. These had the best horsehide of the day (1950s), and this example has NOS-condition liner. I kid you not, the liner...

    FS: British 70s biker jacket, Medium

    Here's a British 1970s original that I got from a fellow Lounger and passing it on, as I have too many jackets. The label says Citizen; I could not find anything on the brand on the interwebs, but it seems to be in a Lewis Leathers style, executed in sturdy sheepskin. Great character to the...

    FS: Cal w/mouton collar, M/L

    Selling my beloved Cal. Medium-Large. Will regret it, but circumstances demand. $499 or offer on the Bay, can do a bit better here, but not by much, because in reality, I don't want to sell it at all... These jackets should be selling for quite a bit more, like Langlitz, they are that good. To...

    Kit Karson Jackets

    Okay, so momentum has built to start a master thread on Kit Karson. @Marc mndt popularized these excellent jackets recently on TFL. Very likely made by Wolf as a private label, these are high quality, typical 50s design horsehide biker jackets, but I have also seen bombers and and car coats with...

    FS: Two star 1960s Guide Master by Wolf, 44

    My spectacular strike-out can be your gain. I thought I am buying a 40, but I bought a 44. Late Wolf in very good vintage shape (leather very sound, including collar), quilted lining very good, one worn spot near hem. Spectacular triple-signed Gripper Zipper by Scovill as main zipper and...

    FS: Bates 1970s moto jacket, 42, dark chocolate brown, near mint

    Catch and release here, too large for me. Very little wear evident on this 1970s Bates (on arms only), as close to time capsule condition as you can get without being NOS. All zippers original and working, gold lining pristine, internal pocket, very little wear visible on the label (size 42) or...

    Please help in dating/placing a mystery time-capsule HWM-type jacket

    This is an eBay find, a jacket that has been around on eBay for a while, having been checked out and passed on by @JMax and @Marc mndt - too small for them. I have been looking for a vintage straight zip for a while (Cal etc), so I took a chance at this no-name Highwayman style jacket by sending...

    FS: 1960s/70s Schott CR Size 40

    Great grain on this classic Schott CR size 40 (no label). Hide and lining in excellent condition, all zippers original and working. A previous owner cut off the wind flap, which non-riders will understand and riders should know about. I loved the lack of the wind flap which are only a PITA for...

    FS or Trade: Gustin Original waxed trucker, tan, M

    A lot can be said about the Gustin product (good and bad), but their waxed truckers are good. Made of 13.5 oz waxed canvas, with flannel lining, the piece is sturdy and a great value (compared to Filson or similar). Worn maybe 20 times total. No smells whatsoever, looks barely used. This model...

    FS: 50's Harley Davidson CR One Pocket Sportster White Label, 42

    This jacket is after a reline job and zip changes, 1950s, size 42. Main and sleeve zips are now YKK, breast zip is original Conmar. Quality satin lining. Leather in great condition, very supple. Could be horsehide - some of these early Sportsters were horsehide. A classic. Asking $270 shipped in...

    1950s Grais Steerhide Flightmaster

    Well, I swung and missed on this jacket. Too large for me. This jacket was owned by three Loungers (including me), and it deserves to find a more permanent home. Substantial black steerhide, some minor repairs near pocket and interior lining. I think this jacket is pure 50's cool, and the wear...

    Iron Heart IH-816 32 in Navy 17-oz duck

    These pants are close to new, never hemmed, just not my cut. Extinct, sold for $317 when dropped. Grailed link below, always a better deal for TFL. https://www.grailed.com/listings/25886775-iron-heart-ih-816-17-oz-duck-work-pants-navy

    UPS Worldwide Saver Warp Speed!

    Guys, this is the second time that I got a package from Europe (one from UK and one from Spain) to the US in LESS THAN 24 HOURS via UPS Worldwide Saver. So it is two for two, worth a heads up to this community imo. Give it a shot if you have a choice of shipper from Europe. This time it was a...

    Jacket ID

    Rings any bells? The only unusual thing for me is the belt with snaps instead of holes. Leather seems thick (look at epaulets). Worth a gander for under $100?

    WTB - a classic flat cap 7 3/8 US

    Guys - I would like to see if the flat cap style works for me. So instead of buying a new one and having it sit in a closet in case I cannot rock it, I thought I'd check if someone has a used one that has not been worn enough. Wool preferred as I am follically challenged and need warmth. Looking...

    FS: Fidelity Cafe Racer Burgundy 38

    I am selling this great 1970's CR because it is just a bit too tight at size 38 with the quilted lining. It is a substantial hide, the jacket weighs just over 4 lbs. I treated it with Pecards, which deepened the color a couple of clicks to deep burgundy. The hide feels soft but substantial...
