    40s Windward Suede Horsehide Half-belt

    I have nothing like this so I had to have it. The Windward brand is a favorite. This one is probably early post-war. I think of this as their 40s label. I avoid the suede leather as too delicate. This one has survived quite well. Very little staining, very nice lining, size tag in pocket...

    Vintage 1950s Sears Hercules Steerhide Half-belt Size 46

    The Vintage half-belt is a tough item to find. It is easier to find an Aero 50s half-belt than an original. Then you have to find the correct size and deal with condition issues. This 50s Hercules is a nice larger size 46 in excellent condition. It has a decent lining with minimal wear at...

    Monarch Goat Skin A-1 by Dave Sheeley-size 46/48

    I bought this jacket on ebay without knowing that my friend Dave Sheeley made it. Dave told me it is made from French goat skin. Dave used a Monarch of Milwaukee label. I'm 5'9" 185 and typically wear a size 44. This jacket is too big for me. I'm calling it a 46/48. All the measurements...

    1940S Windward Horsehide Jacket

    One thing I like about vintage jackets is the variety in style. This jackets is like a updated Cossack style with a bit of Aviation look. This one is marked as a size 42. Big for a vintage 42.

    50s Harley Davidson Cycle Queen Motorcycle Jacket

    I have no idea what size this is in a Ladies. I'm not an expert on HD jackets. This does have the 50s label. I believe the black lining makes it later 50s early 60s. I have seen this jacket with the next HD label and they are not the same quality. I know this came in Horsehide and...

    Vintage Forgery on ebay

    I had just been talking with another member here about this jacket. I was fooled and I own several California Sportswear garments. Plus I recall the history of the jacket going back to it not even making a $100 opening bid on it's first running. I bid early, but lacked interest for some reason...

    40s Sportclad Horsehide Half-belt

    Was not sure I would get this one, but sure glad I did. I won the jacket by a few cents. On first try it felt like an old friend. I've got a lot of half-belts and this one is near the top. The color is amazing, the feel is soft, the leather condition is very strong. The length is perfect...

    Bill Kelso(BK) Horsehide A-2 Size 40/42

    I purchased this jacket sometime last year. I have a BK Monarch A-2 and several other BK jackets. This one is marked as a size 40, but seems to fit a bit bigger. I am 5'9" 190 in the Video and I can get it on. I believe this is BK's "house" horsehide called Mark 31. I have no other...

    Bill Kelso BK A-1 Cossack in Badallassi Cowhide Size 42

    There are many renditions of the Cossack style. I believe each of the major makers has some model called by a variety of names. A wearable vintage Cossack is not only expensive, but very difficult to even find for sale. Vintage is just not a viable option for style, so we turn to the...

    LOST WORLDS Roadmaster-Size 46 Black Horsehide

    The Roadmaster is a Lost Worlds Jacket you don't see often. It looks to be very similar to a 50s Schott Jacket as pictured in one of Rin Tanaka books. I got this one several years ago and had to promptly replace the Zipper. All I had at the time was YKK zipper. It was professionally...

    Tale of Two Barnstormers from the 30s

    Yes, two. I bought one a bit too small, so to compensate I bought one a bit too Large. After wearing the smaller one I knew I had to have one I could wear. The Full tale is in the Video or turn down the sound and Check out the Coats.

    I'm done with my Good Wear Quest. I bought what was available on the second hand market the last three years. John doesn't make a lot of Civilian Jackets so not a lot of them come around. They are as good as it gets. If you have been wanting a GW in this size it is your day. TERMS...

    1940s Sears Hercules Horsehide A-2

    My First look at this Jacket on the day it arrived. Never done a Vido quite like this. Jacket is worth a look. In the Vido I mention Monarch as a maker. It was thought to be just that. Dave knows his Monarchs. More Pictures.

    Lost Worlds Trucker Jacket

    Got it for my Birthday. Nice excuse. I've lusted after the right one. Gone through a few that didn't work. This one will work until another comes along. Below is a custom 46 with Collar that was just too big for me. The 42 came along and I had to try it on. The 46 just was not going to...
