    Thriftstore find- Can anyone identify the maker?

    Just found this in my local thriftstore...kind of a half-belt design. I'm good at identifying cafe racers, but this style is out of my area of familiarity. Does anyone recognize the maker? The leather is amazing, supple and beautiful. No holes or tears in the leather. Might be horsehide...but...

    New jacket: Aero Sheene crossed with Aero Highwayman

    I’ve always loved Aero’s Highwayman…the lower waistband and the side buckles make it such a timeless classic. But I’ve always been apprehensive about ordering the Highwayman because of that wider “boxy” fit wouldn't work for me. So my solution- start with the tighter streamlined Sheene, and then...

    New Gustin leather Café Racer jackets

    I thought some in the FDL might find this interesting… a new line up of Gustin café racers made in California. A couple are produced with Horween leather. The black one is made with German steerhide, but at a lower price point. Not quite for me...but I find it interesting, and getting much...

    On the fence- vintage Tauber’s Horsehide Pull-over…yes or no?

    At one of my favorite stops today, I spotted this vintage Tauber’s Horsehide motorcycle pull-over. Not really my thing, didn’t even want to try it on, but dang it, when I did- it fit like it was tailored made for me. It’s got side zips, and zips on the arms- makes it a little easier to pull on...

    Cal Leather Vintage Horsehide Motorcycle Jacket size 44/46

    Very heavy, vintage Cal Leather Horsehide Motorcycle jacket in a rare larger size of 44/46. I just bought this from another FDL member here, and I’d love to keep it but it doesn’t quite fit.

    Vintage Deerskin Café Racer Motorcycle Jacket- Recent Score

    I confess- after seeing Tmitchell’s wonderful post about his vintage deerskin jacket…and after spotting some very expensive custom deerskin jackets by RL, Real McCoy, Flathead and Himel, I’ve been more than curious about this hide. It looks like beautiful wearing leather, but there just doesn’t...

    Restored Cal Leathers Horsehide Café Racer Project- Patina anyone?

    When I first came into possession of this jacket, it was beat to death. I mean really thrashed- tears in the sleeves, the collar was rotted out, and the leather was dry and brittle as a bone. But it was a relative bargain, and had a certain intrinsic beauty (think wabi sabi), and best of all it...
