Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

[AHP91]

It is from the 50s. Please post some better pics when you get it, the ones on Mercari were not great. But the leather looked to be in good shape. For a newbie (hell, for anybody) you did very well starting out with a HH Spiegel. You gonna need a zipper, @photo2u can help you there.

Looks very nice. Spiegel MC HH jackets from 1950s are high quality. Mine is made of nice, slightly stiff, horsehide. Solid. Yours looks to be solid too.

King O Fur grizzly jacket. One hell of a thing, ain't it?

Legend has it that King O Fur used to sell blankets back in the days under a different name. But time changed and people stopped buying blankets as much for some reasons. So that company switched to the King O Fur name and started selling these grizzly jackets. Unfortunately, this maker only lasted for a few years due to the death of its owner. Who knew if this company continued on and became some sort of the California Sportswear of the Midwest?

Yep, most amazing. I'm 1.50 hours from Dubuque Iowa also home of Glover. This catalog is a testament to their being an unsung maker at the highest level

Aero Highwayman Sponge Bob Square Pocket? sz 40 - $340
Looks like Connolly steerhide too. Has the label for it and the leather doesn't look like CXL. Never seen this design on an Aero jacket.

Someone hit BIN quickly!

Would have been me if it wasn't just slightly too large.

Ahhh you're right. I haven't seen many of these. Do you think it's Connolly?

 

[jeo]

@Will Zach yes!! Good on you, I want to see more of it. Hope it fits you.

If not, pm me!!!

no, looks too smooth on the collar. Aero only made a handful of brown Conolly jackets (really early on). Here is the only one I’ve ever seen:

Will do.

 

[handymike]

Will do.

Honestly though, I know you’ve been hunting for a straight zip CHP and I hope this beauty fits you and brings joy.
