[AHP91]

Bit pricey, but I really like the look of this vintage HH NYPD jacket. Built like a tank.

this is cool, but that badge on leather gives me flashbacks to radio fizz and coppers givin me and the homies a hard time over a little bit of pot back in the day. i support the police

Lescos are an excellent value. Just be aware of this line of Lescos as with another similar period CR. They run one size smaller. Hide is thicker than most.

I know. We are both excited for @ton312 . Hopefully the guy can ship. If not, @ton312 will have to beg @jeo to make a trip from Philly and proxy for him, lol.

Bizarro leather jacket finds on Facebook, a "close to 30 pounds" buckskin jacket that is somehow worth $2500. Someone get you-know-who on the phone.

@jeo @Gypsymoth82 @Will Zach
Good looking out guys! But I think I have the cheapo 70’s jacket covered. After my cordo dye job, this cheap ugly POS is going to be fire. Like a real bonafide dumpster fire. LOL. I’m fairly certain my foray into 70’s leathers is far from over and it’s also proof positive I have flunked out of The University of Leather. But damn it. I love the fit!

Post Urad dark brown( I love the stuff):

Did any one bid one this beauty?

The back on this one apparently underwent some DIY tailoring. It has these odd darts sewn into the back. Seller didn't want to provide much insight into his measurements so I could not bid on this.

Yeah those darts are horrible. Killed the jacket IMO. I’m shocked it received the number of bids it did. Despite the provenance, I’d have a hard time choosing that over a Jet’s pizza if given the same price option of $35.

Brothers what do you mean by the "darts"? I quite do not understand.
