    Brown Tea Core? Bill Kelso Liberty Horsehide Dodger at 10 months.

    Black to Brown wear through is Tea Core as I understand it. I posted pics of my Heron in the Himel thread recently. I am not aware of a corresponding wear through for Brown. I took delivery of this Bill Kelso Dodger in March of 2015. I already owned a BK Duke in Victory Horsehide. The...

    Windward Brand Leather Jacket Collection

    Six is not much of collection given the many styles with the Windward label. These six run from pre-war to early 60s, at least I think so. The Classic Aero Windward is included. All of these jackets are 42-44 very wearable and do get worn. The post-war label bears the Nylon Stitched...

    Sears Oakbrook-46 Vintage late 40s Goatskin-42

    Sears Oakbrook: These jackets replaced the Hercules in the Sears line. Probably first cataloged in the early 60s. They are a favorite of mine. This is a Brown Steerhide with nice heavier brown lining. Size tag is gone, but I would say a size 46. I wear a 44 and this fits me like a size 46...

    Bill Kelso Monarch A-2, with vintage Monarch jackets

    I have been on the outlook for a BK A-2. I own a BK Dodger and Duke. They don't come around in any size often. When this Monarch 44 came up I had to give it a try. It was fairly new and not worn much. It is Liberty Horsehide. When I got it I wrote the seller I would probably be selling it...

    Taubers of California Horsehide Leather Shirt

    I always have my eye out for a Horsehide shirt. They don't come around often in any size let alone a 44. I don't ride, but I wanted one of these exceedingly cool shirts. I am always on the look out for Taubers jackets. I had a late 60s cowhide cafe racer that was so nice and so small. It was...

    A Couple of Buzz Rickson Aviators Coats

    Don't know much about Buzz Rickson other than they really did a first rate job on these two. The light colored jacket I bought out of the classifieds here a couple of months back. I thought it was stunning. Never owned buffalo, but had a good idea what it is like. I had looked at and bid on...

    Post War Sears Hecules Jackets

    The Hercules by Sears label appeared on a lot of garmets. These jackets, with the exception of the long coat, are 50s jackets by my estimation. I have many pictures of other Sears Hercules jackets. They labeled an incredible number of styles. The jackets pictured here I own. I do not own...

    BK Dodger in Liberty HH

    This a Black Friday sale jacket I received a few weeks back. This is the Liberty horsehide. It is size 44. Since I owned a BK Duke the sizing was pretty easy. Great fit, nice light weight. I don't know what they call the lining, but I really like it. Of all the jackets I own I don't have...

    WTB: BK (Bill Kelso) leather jackets.

    Looking for discarded BK jackets. I need a size 44. I'm interested in their civilian jackets; Westfall, Surrogates. I own a BK Duke and a Dodger but would consider those too. The Duke is Victory HH and the Dodger is Libertly, so a different combination would be of interest. REALLY would...

    California Sportswear Goatskin-Old Goat

    I was looking for a goatskin I could wear and this came along on ebay. I was much interested in the Aero goatskin sold here, but it wasn't going to fit. This one was dry but responded well to conditioning. Sewed on a couple of buttons. I wear a 44. This jacket could pass as a 46. I did not...

    Pre-war Horsehide Patrol (service) Jacket.

    Pre-war leather is getting old and difficult to find in wearable condition. Finding a pre-war in wearable condition in my size is another challenge. This jacket covers that ground. Sized as a 46 and certainly fitting like a 44. The lining has been changed and the pocket linings are gone...

    40s-50s Sportclad Horsehide MC Jacket

    Through my years of wearing/buying leather jackets I never had an interest in the motorcycle style of jackets. I don't ride. The last year has changed that. I have gone through three MC jackets to find this one that fits and is comfortable to wear. I am pretty much a 44. I got this...
