    Name this Jacket

    I just received this little number. I showed this to another member here, who will remain nameless, and he quickly saw the similarities to a contemporary jacket from a well known maker. I was aware of the model, but had not looked at it recently. Sure enough it is pretty close. Which...

    Bank Robber (Japan) Wool/Leather Size 38-Nice.

    I'm a big fan of Wool/Leather jackets. I recently sold one and have one keeper. This is too small for me. If it fit it would stay put. I've pictured all the labels. I know nothing about the brand other than it comes from Japan. The Jacket is in excellent condition in and out. Doubt it was...

    Taubers of California Horsehide "Trucker" jacket

    I know it is not what we call a Trucker jacket. This was a keeper from the first try on. I called it a "Trucker" jacket, but not in the usual meaning. Maybe a "Cabbie" jacket since trucker is taken. Perfect for sitting in a truck or cab. I don't see this one as a motorcycle jacket. Taubers...

    Vintage 1940s Goathide Leather Aviator Style Jacket

    This one just came in. Stunning condition for a jacket that is probably 70 years old. Has a late 40s Talon zipper as shown by dinnerman in his zipper breakdown. The sale pictures showed it to be like new condition, yet no one else even bid on it. Odd given it had a reasonable opening bid...

    Levi Ruff and Ready by Aero of Scotland

    One of the most impressive contemporary leather jackets I have owned. I sold my other Aeros, including my Connoley Steerhide Highwayman. The others were nice not just the correct size. I should have kept the Highwayman. I thought it would be a Buy, Try, and Fly, but It has become a keeper...

    50s JC Penney horsehide Jackets

    I did this Video last spring. I just saw the "car coat" style in brown steerhide. Only two I've seen like that. They used this label in the 50s to replace the Sportclad label as far as I can tell. I see fewer leather jackets with this label. This label has steerhide, horsehide or no leather...
