    Sears Fieldmaster Suede-size 48-like new

    The Fieldmaster label ran concurrent with the Hercules label. Perhaps a bit more of a gentleman's label. This jacket is probably late 50s. This is a quality suede jacket in excellent condition. Crown zipper. Marked size 48, too big for me. See more pictures in this album. Price: $80 shipped.

    Taubers Horsehide Cafe Racer-Size 38/40.

    This Beautiful Taubers is probably from the early 60s made in the Bay area California. Taubers was in business from 1941 to early 80s? Taubers and Cal leather may have been the last makers to use horsehide in the late 50s early 60s. I know of no major makers using horshide in the 60s. I have...

    Durable Horsehide Cafe racer? c.1954

    I found little about the Durable company. Brando's leather jacket in The Wild Ones is thought by some to be made by Durable. They were a Canadian brand. If you have any information on the company post it, I would be interested. I did find information on the Lang Tanning company. The...

    Brooks Cafe Racer?

    Brooks sportswear Detroit Michigan made a lot of leather jackets. This is one style I had not seen. I was intrigued when it showed up on ebay. The price was out of line, but that changed and I was able to buy it quite reasonable. I'm always after something a bit unique, something that stands...

    Freewheelers Wool Wigwam Jacket

    This is my only Freewheelers jacket. Got this from @TiltRotorFlyer. We have done several jacket deals. Each one a pleasure. This is sized 44 and is every bit that size. I am about 190 pounds in the fit pictures. I also have the bottom hem cinchs drawn in. You could probably get a few more...

    Suede Smoking Jacket-Humidor pocket

    Another beautiful suede in a lovely shade. This is my fourth Suede beauty from yesteryear. I'm not that familiar with the Conmar zippers on this jacket. Conmars typically copy the Talon look. This Conmar looks like a late 40s Talon. The jacket is also similar to a late 40s Sportclad...
