@tmitchell59 Every new jacket is a new revelation, Terry. Still so much to discover in this journey. Taubers is also the top of my collection. Personally, I rank them even higher than CSC.

Do you know anything about the owner(s) of Taubers? I remember seeing this eBay listing and it mentioned Raymond Tauber as the head designer of Taubers. I couldn't find that listing anymore.

And somebody somewhere told me that they had a financial difficulties in the mid-80s. That's why they closed up shop. Don't remember where I found it. So don't quote me on that.

There isn't much info about Taubers at all. I think Johnson Tam would know more about Taubers since Johnson Leather opened up shop in the early 80s. He probably worked with Taubers and all the shops around Nobb Hill before striking out on his own. It's unfortunate that Mr. Tam has passed away recently. I'd love to sit down and talk to him about the Bay Area leather scene back in the days.

With all due respect, R.I.P to a legend of the game.
