Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

[Aloysius]

The measurements indicate a 40” but man if those sleeves were 2” longer I’d bin the shit outta that and immediately remove that label. Looks just like my Walter Dyer. I *think* these were made by Johnson leathers and relabeled for the laughably named retail store.
I mean just combine the maker and the retail outlet and you’ve got the San Fran leather jacket scene about covered. LOL. Kick ass jacket in any case.
“Hard On is proud to offer this Johnson for your consideration”.
LOOL.

With SF and that shop name you’d better give the jacket a long soak in every disinfectant known to man first…

Steerhide too, nice.

The black police jacket is a Californian. Many of the details scream to me like the cut,sewing technique,front pockets,sleeves and belt loops. T, are you joking? You would have spot it right away... LOL. love your jackets. I always have. I always wondered who purchased that nice Herc with the red lining? A very dear friend of mine who no longer with us had that jacket. Now that he passed, I am looking for one, to to remember him.

Never thought of that jacket as a CSC. I'm pretty good at spotting their jackets. They did produce jackets without their label. I have a couple of those.

They're part of the jacket. Why would they bother you?

It bothers me because it's so clearly intended to hold something that isn't there. It's kind of like a belt loop that never ended up being used. It's superfluous and breaks up the clean lines of the jacket (to me). It just sticks out in an unpleasant way.

This might have already been posted and the price is clearly reaching @ $1,200 considering similar options go for $300-$500 all the time but I guess people have the right to charge what they want.

Would look nicer with horizontal chest pockets and no epaulettes but just my opinion

oh my. I'd wear it even with this Norton patch. Killer.

The patch is a little bit of a bummer. It's a fine specimen even with it. I'd probably remove it and not worry about the stitch holes, hoping that the area under the patch has comparable wear and patina to the rest.

Never understood the tramp-stamp. Generally dislike patches as well but that location is an absolute non-starter.

While I have no issue with badge holders, I am not a fan of the embroidery. I'm cool with the label inside. Great jacket though........

My local dry cleaner cleaner refuses to clean one of my vintage wool pieces because it has 1 inch of leather lining on the cuffs. I wonder if this is an issue on these mixed Leather/Wool jackets for anyone else??
