Anyone here confident that road rash can be covered/blended?
Road rash has to be earned......And chics dig it.

Same here, but I assume. because of the included 36", that the 38" really is just that (as a regular 38 is usually 40 or 41 inches. I was fooled a few times by that and had to resell. What a pity, though.I’m glad this isn’t my size, my heart skipped a beat.
If only this jacket were 4 sizes bigger...

Old Taubers...... You never know where a vintage jacket will be found in the world. So many cool vintage American ones pop up in Japan for example. But you still have these pockets in and around the area where some of these jackets were made where there still seem to be relative "concentrations" of them to be found. You seem to find more Schotts and Passaics in New York and New Jersey, more Langlitz in Portland, and seemingly, more Taubers in and around San Francisco/Bay Area, one of the original production hot spots. I wonder how many old Taubers, Block Bilt, etc.---maybe even some older Johnson Leathers jackets are still to be found in the area....... sometimes I wish I could just go hunting for jackets in vintage and thrift shops like in the olden days....... But I digress.....
This is a fine older Tauber. Not cheap. Interesting assortment of Zipper pulls (original or replacements?) Having handled a few Taubers that were too small for me (and I THINK I still have an untagged one that actually FITS!) I think they are some of the best Old Vintage jackets I have seen. Part of it may be the lack of knowledge and history of the company that creates a sort of mystique for me. Being from California, I am a little partial to the Cali made jackets but even aside from that the Taubers seem to be in the "special" category.

Fieldmaster HH 40-- Ok, no BIN --just a miniscule starting bid---but these things fly under most people's radar or perhaps are not everyone's taste so I think someone will get this at a good price. These are cool jackets and this one has the knits in good condition which is really the only place these jackets go bad.

There are a few on eBay. One looks more like a traditional Levi’s T-3.
First one of those I've seen used since they came out. But not my size
