That Norshor is a GW ventura!!!
What a steal!
http://www.goodwearleather.com/pages/sale_norshor_0001.htmlI know next to nothing about Norshor but believe that jacket is the NS2. Or some iteration of it (design of back is different). The company also made a NS3 that appears to be no longer available.

In any event, someone here should buy that jacket. Looks like a complete steal if it’s your size (46).
I'm really digging this vintage Levi's trucker jacket (especially the distressed style is appealing to me) but I'm not sure about the quality of Levi's vintage jackets and the leather and heaviness (I guess cowhide, medium weight). What do you think about this jacket (condition, quality, etc.)? Thanks!

Here’s a real interesting jacket. Norshor Campus Togs horsehide halfbelt:
That was mine. It just sold but the buyer asked if it didnt fit if he could return it, so I said no prob. Hope he likes it so It can help pay for the Schott and the Langlitz I just bought):Vintage Branded Garments CHP Leather Motorcycle Jacket Langlitz Quality https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/233200230969
BTW, the Schott CHP jacket came today and its well worth the $200 I paid for it. Fits great, is well made and the leather is REALLY nice. I find, in my opinion that Schott jackets tend to vary in quality from my experience. This one is hands down the best looking motorcycle jacket by Schott Ive ever owned. Interesting thing is the belt loops are are as thick as a Sam Browne belt. Very sturdy, which makes me wonder if this was made for a real police officer. It has a badge patch with grommets. Ive not been able to find one quite like it. Thanks for the tip, JMaxYes, these are deals we find online, not personal sales. Those go in the classifieds.
@lucky23 keep us posted on that cycle rider. I hope the condition is good to go.

Aero's Type III in suede. Earlier version but still a damn good price for a brand new Aero!

Wow, never seen that leather. Very interesting. Does anyone have experience with this suede material? Looks to be quite stiff and thick. More like a "rough out" in black? It is marked a 42, measures out to a 44. Says Shipping to USA is questionable. May need a proxy! The photos suck as far as showing it black and I want it to be black, not grey or dark brown.
I came her to gloat a bit on a unworn beauty I just bought. Yes, unworn, no explanation why, no measuements, 4 odd pictures and a reference to the makers site for more information. The pictures did identify it as describe, unworn. I'm kinda stunned I got it. I think there were like 25 people already watching it when I bought it and it wasn't on that long. A jacket style I have admired by a maker I know well, not a style often seen. I may have had an opportunity to own one several years ago. Not a jacket I was pursuing, just appeared. Not sure I will like it, though I know it will fit. It is my size. The color is not Black. It was priced for an easy buy and try. Could be a buy try and Fly. You all recognize the process. Maybe someone here sold it? Not for sale here though.
