Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

[JMax]

^^
Wow is right. Jacket is like out of time capsule. Crown zip. Cal Leathers should snap it up for their collection. Unreal price, too.

Gwen thought the one I had (and traded off) was a one off prototype. A transitional jacket from SG to Cal perhaps. It had features she hadn’t seen before. And she didn’t express any interest in it. Who knows, maybe this one comes a calling, but she no doubt has some pretty stellar SGs in her inventory. This one is stellar too. JB can confirm but they run small. I was not pleased lol. I’ll have to make due with my two early Cals. The hide is next level when compared to later Cals, which I absolutely still think are awesome.

This is certainly a find....!

I think the seller's description of "Excellent condition, just a few folds" is the vintage equivalent of "Just a flesh wound!"

Wow. Nice price too. I learned the hard way these run small. Too bad for me.

Edit- last two posts, proof I do need to stay away from Yahoo auctions lol.

They would not have been posted here if they are smaller. LOL

Wow! I just got a reply from the buyer of recent Knopf goatskin I sold. He loves it. I will have to send him this link. This jacket, with the Sunrise Talon zip is a bit older than my recent sale. Beautiful half-belt.

This is the Knopf I sold

Very similar to mine (which is pony skin). These have a really nice trim fit and longer length for older jackets.

I had seen your pony hide Knopf recently, it has an amazing beautiful grain.

I got three Star Gloves and as Jmax alluded this would run too small and I still want it. The price at this point is good
