Can anyone recommend a place to get good old leather luggage tags? I tried two of my favorite online sites, J. Peterman and David Morgan but had no luck. Apparently J. Peterman used to sell buffalo leather luggage tags but they are out, and I came up empty with the search on the David Morgan...

Hey folks, Up for sale is this lovely cognac rough out shirt from Indigofera. It's labelled 'M' but Indigofera are built BIG, so check these measurements. I take a 44/46 in most Japanese stuff, and this fits me well. Measurements: Pit to Pit: 59cm Shoulders: 46cm Neck to Bottom: 73cm Sleeve...

I need to get rid of parts of my boot and leather jacket collection. I just counted them and I have 117 pairs of boots/shoes and 43 leather jackets in my workshop and all around the house and it just fills out too much space. I used to repair shoes and sell them again during my university years...

Appalachian Tanned & Tailored brown goatskin halfbelt from the 50s. Everything is in working order, zips all work fine. They are original brass Conmar zips and the main zip was repaired by the place I bought it from. That and the interior liner and cuffs have corduroy replacements where the...

Hello, fellow vintage leather enthusiasts :) I’d like to ask for your expert opinion on this late 1950s/1960s Schott Perfecto jacket (the label allows me to date it fairly precisely thanks to the chart I found here :)). I’m wondering how to tell if this is a genuine Schott or not. At first...

Hi everyone, I'm really into the crinkled/grainy texture of some of the sheepskin items Visvim has recently been putting out like the Eton jacket, but I can't justify the crazy markup for their jackets. I feel like it shouldn't be that hard to find similar sheepskin textures in other jackets as...

Hi all, I'm thinking of buying a Rainbow Country Spider Car Coat in a size 40 as that is the only size in stock, but as I have not previously bought from the brand before, I was wondering if I could get some insight into sizing from anyone who may own this. In theory, the measurements are...

Hello! I’m looking to buy an aero for my 25th birthday. This will be my second leather jacket, paired with a lightweight Schott 582, so the idea is to be able to work in a different range of temperatures. In other words, better for cold weather, but still 3-season viable. I’m back and forth on...

I bought a jacket at a thrift store for 3 euros. I never heard about Haelson brand before, but this jacket has caught my eye. I ride a motorcycle myself and thought this jacket would be good for it. But looking into it, I'm interested to see if it's authentic or was the lable just sewn on. The...

Hello, I hope this is the right thread to post in, but I wanted to ask whether anyone knows anything about this Aero jacket? I know that it is quite old, and that it appears to be steerhide (connolly?). I wasn't able to find any similar listings on ebay or on google and it is no longer made by...

Hi All, I'm looking for my old Beck Northeaster 333 Horsehide Jacket that was made in the 2010's when Legendary USA sold it. I believe it was a size 40 but maybe a 42. It was marked with a production stamp on the bottom leather liner strip. Does anyone in this forum know where I can possibly...

I special ordered the jacket from Shawn at Fivestar. It is their small size which equates to a 41-43 chest with ½ inch added to sleeves. Got the idea of tartan wool jacket body lining and cotton sleeve lining from an original WW2 relic. Ordered it last December before tariffs and has hung in...

Bit of fun, but I also thought this thread could be helpful to provide insight into the knowledge and justified experiences of our members. "What brands or models of outerwear do you find overrated or significantly overpriced". Bonus final thought: If you ever question the amount you spend on...

Hi everyone, I wanted to share a find from yesterday and hopefully get some insight from the experts here. I came across this AMC Sportswear leather jacket, but I honestly don’t know anything about the brand or the era. The main neck label looks 1940s–1950s to me, but the jacket has a YKK...

Hi all, glad to have found this group! Ive enjoyed reading through the threads so far. Can anyone help me with info on this coat? I picked it up a few years ago in Bowling Green, Kentucky and felt confident that it was special. There's no makers mark (checked pockets linings, back of shearling...

Hello everyone, I am currently in search of a double rider type jacket to wear primarily off the bike (so no armor necessary) and I have identified a few options. The criteria that I have for this jacket would be ideally to have buttons at the collar, not be to long on the back, in black or...

Im selling my Field Leather jacket since it doesnt fit me. Its only been used for a short time because it never really fit properly. Sizing is an EU 50 with 2 inches longer sleeves. It does have a few signs of wear but still in close to new condition Pit to Pit: about 62cm shoulder: 52cm sleeve...
