leather jacket

I noticed that there is glue in addition to the sewing thread inside the collar, and cuffs, basically everywhere where leather meets leather... Is this normal?

Recently I bought this jacket. It has a label in it. I could find nothing on the internet. The jacket is a long leather trenchcoat with a wool lining. 1930s or 1940s? Does anyone recognize the makers label?

Hi Guys, I am searching for an original M422A in a size 44. I have had a search alert on Ebay for the last year or so but no luck. There was one but I got out bid in the final seconds without time to counter. I am not picky on maker, just.looking for something to wear on a regular basis with...

What do they do? And do they noticeably let air in?

I’m upgrading my personal style and want to acquire a vintage leather jacket. Frankly, I don’t know what I’m doing, which brought me here. Any advice on a starter leather jacket? I’ve done a little research — enough to decide I’d prefer a bomber or similar make over a motorcycle jacket with all...

Hi all, New to the forums although I've visited before. I am selling a Vanson AR3 size 40 with the shoulder and elbow armor. I bought it in September at Filipacchi and wore it on the bike for a few months so it is lightly broken in but very new looking still. It is a great jacket but I have...

Hey guys, I acquired a G-1 on ebay for a killer deal; but was wondering if there was any way to identify the maker? There are no labels other than the Blood Chit sewn into the inner lining. eBay auction said it belonged to a Navy pilot that served from the late 80s to early 00s. I know for...

Hey all, If you've seen some of my most recent threads, I'm pretty new to the game. And BTW, I finally found an A-2 (a story for another thread). Recently, I was able to pop on over to the UK for a few weeks visiting friends and on one of the days I just went out to the Real McCoys store. I...

Perfecto style European leather double rider for sale THICK Cow with openings on liner for spine and elbow pads. This jacket has a unique punk/metal hardcore look to it and may not be for everyone but it is special and gets loads of comments. I have been wearing it off and on for 6 years and...

I found the Belstaff Indy jacket that was released under the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull license back in 2008 on eBay for a decent deal so I pulled the trigger on it. It just came in the mail today so I am posting some fit pictures and measurements as an FYI. The sleeves are a bit short, but I...

I posted about these jackets in another thread, but I wanted to start a dedicated one for the Cockpit G-1 Top Gun Heroes Jacket. I have tried on 3 different sizes so far and took measurements and pictures for everyone's benefit, in case some of you have been contemplating getting one. I can...

Another fit thread! I just received my G&B Air Force A-2 dark brown goatskin in size 40R. Not the Civil version so this does not have any size entry or inside pockets. I initially ordered my usual size of 42R but returned it as it was too big. Sizing down one size is definitely the way to go...
