@Claybertrand my office is a couple blocks away, I stopped by to see if they were still there a few months back and it looked to be totally closed up, sadly.

Thanks for the "boots on the ground" update. Yeah the photo on Google street view has looked like the shop was closed up for awhile now. But when I saw that they still had hours of operation posted, I wondered if we were falsely spreading rumors of their demise. Sadly, Branded is no more.

My pleasure. I'd always meant to check it out, unfortunately I put it off for too long.

Sad for this jacket. Looks to have been baled & beyond repair with all those creases everwhere - even in the lining too.

That NYPD jacket was amazing. Wear spots were reddish brown. Awesome hide and jacket.

That is one my favorite hides. I have one and love it.

Could those creases ever be ironed out? Or fall out over time? Seems like it’s been badly stored.

They show up occasionally. I think they were made for Europe and Japan, with RiRi zippers. The hide is thick and stiff as all hell, perfect for riding.

Vanson would use RiRi zippers exclusively on HH jackets back in the day. It's a telltale sign the jacket is horse. Not sure if that's still the case.

Thanks, What is a Fair price? I know little about these jackets other than the Eastman reproductions.

These go for 1k+ in good condition. I have no clue what the seller has in mind. Anyway, I asked him about the condition first. Looks like the right side adjuster is gone.

There's a few listed on eBay.

That second one looks great. Not 1600 EUR great, but great.
