These might be Brooks? padded leather pants. $175, smaller size. https://poshmark.com/listing/Vtg-70...Moto-Pants-Talon-Zip-602c8b4e12d88077568403a2
There was that guy who bought one in a thrift shop in Bay area. Straight zip, absolute mint condition with collar. Came with the badge holder unattached and also the fury neck guard thing. Had a local store label on it which probably prevented anyone not in the know from understanding its value. I think he paid sub $100. I bought it from him. Lets just say he was pretty well compensated for his time LOL. But I love that jacket. Another one I wish was an inch longer but the thing is so damn perfect, I don't care. Could fit like a mesh crop top and I'd still wear it proudly.
aaaaand, gone!Well-loved Cal, large, $200

This jacket is nothing special......but it DOES have that sorta MISSING LINK Label as Sears went from Hercules to Fieldmaster (then eventually to Oakbrook).
Yes, I have seen this label. The Fieldmaster label is first used in the mid 50s. It appears sorta on an off with a variety of designs. The did use it on a variety of garments including motorcycle styled jackets. It is used well into the 60s along with Oakbrook.

Fraternity Prep is another Sears label used in the 50s

I hadn't seen many with BOTH Hercules AND Fieldmaster on the label........ These other labels like the Fraternity Prep etc. are very interesting. They seem to maybe predate the Hercules label???? That Frat Prep label has the Hercules Palm Trees....... Never seen that brand.
Pecards and sunshine, Terry.I really like this jacket, but know nothing about the Brand. How do you wear and care for this light finished leather? Just let it get dirty?

I honestly don't understand the appeal of these, I think they are ugly. However ,they( Ship John) do seem to generate a lot of interest.

Agreed. Jacket that's completely devoid of any aesthetic. Design, even. People without a first clue of what they want to wear fall for it because of the "rugged" bs story the shop is selling but otherwise, you'd be hard pressed to find an uglier jacket.
I'm honestly surprised Langlitz even took the job of slapping their name on something so plain and boring. I wouldn't pay $20 for it. $1200 is insanity.
@Tom71 just bought an addict but different style. And I know of one other member who's handled addict and said it was stellar. I can tell you Butterscotch is cool shop. I have their Vanson collab Commando. It is superb.Not sure if this the right area to post, but does anyone have any experience with this jacket?

I was hesitant about leather a type 3, but this has to be the sleekest and most well constructed I have seen. Any info or fit pics from memebers would be greatly appreciated
