I'm beginning to think this is less about you collecting jackets Terry, your REAL hobby is making us jealous!

Ah but remember

One can only wear one jacket at a time...

Another one from the vintage master. Sportsclad was a JC Penny's label if I'm not mistaken. I had an M/C by them and it was a treat. Really well made with cool details. This looks superb TM and as usual you wear it like you were born in it. Congrats!

If Terry was collecting vintage CR's, I think I'd literally kill myself.

That jacket reminds me a little bit of the ELMC Californian! If I had Terry's house of jackets I wouldn't need a nightlight. Imagine all of those jackets keeping you safe.

Diamond Dave black buco and the RMC half belt!

I totally dropped the ball in the sportclad. I did not check the auction's dates. You know, I almost bought the same color and style jacket at the Pomona Show some 10 years ago. The Gentleman selling the jackets had many half belts for sale. Since I did not take enough cash with me, I ended up just buying one-half belt from him. To this moment, the jacket I purchase that day still my favourite jacket. Here are images of that dual action arm swings.

Ok. I was determined to get the RMC Half belt. Never seen one that close to my size. The DD Buco is being worn right now.

You sent me pictures fo the Cresco and a Monarch. It was nice also. I believe I have that same jacket. I've got a few more "new" ones. I'll get the Topline photoed. another interesting jacket with a story.

I'll put the ELMC Californian in the pile when I do some more pics with the Sportclad. It does have that feel to it, though the Sportclad is bigger through the body.

The same seller also had one more jacket for sale. At the last minute, he asked me to cancel my bid because he was helping out his friend. Now I am very jealous... LOL.

Please let us know of all the jackets you will put on sale. I just bought a flat in Sophia. They will get a lot of use there. Here in California, is like an oven.

Collecting CR's would be a life time pursuit. I say no to myself much more than I use to. I'll get another early Brooks when a nice one comes along. I pretty statisfied with those jackets.

Thanks for posting all the videos and images. I have been collecting for 25 years and I truly get educated by watching your youtube chanel.

How do you find jackets like these on ebay? is there a way to follow certain tags?

 

[jacketjunkie]

I think this jacket looks perfect on you and the condition of it is outstanding. If you were on a quest for the perfect one, I'd say, that's it, you are done. But as we all know... your quest isn't the holy grail, but to own as many as possible of them! Really great jacket!

This jacket was a full run auction. No mystery. There were maybe three bidders, one of them is on this thread. I think the difference is the willingness to spend the money.

I agree, I could stop here and have a great jacket. Yes, maybe there is more than one Grail jacket
