[Claybertrand]

Interesting Beau Breed CZ------I don't see these very much compared to the Cafe Racers........ Size 40 -- good shape --- VERRERRRRY pronounced graining ---looks almost Lambish.......... Cheap price. Built in Belt has been cut off---Looks like it'd be worth picking up as a knock around jacket and it looks pretty darn cool with that graining. BIN at $70

I love suede. I am working with a person to make me a "D" pocket type. Mexican suede is abundant and excellent priced. However, at this time I have not found the "right" craftsman to do the job.

I only have one leather jacket (so far) and it’s a Double Helix suede HH Type III; so easy to wear and looks good despite the slowly accumulating dirt, all part of the charm.

Sounds like a cool project and yeah I totally agree, suede's a great (probably even better) way to go for a Type III compared to smooth leather. This particular Branded is great if you think a black DR with all the hardware makes you feel like a poser/too edgy which they often do for me lol.

This is what I meant by a nicely shaped collar in the Field Leathers thread.
Beauty!

Looks like a delicate Capeskin from the Golden years that has survived quite well. This was "fashion leather" of the day.

It kind of reminds me of that GW Cali you had. Love this one. Too much gut at this time for me to wear. However, there is always hope.

If it weren’t small you’d never have seen it here, but rather on my back in the jacket o’ the day thread.

Looks to be in very nice condition. Nice one. I have never been crazy for that particular angle of the zippers. Still in the hunt for a CR in the more moderate angle of the front zippers.

Here’s the Kehoe angled zip:

Thanks! I did see that one. Size is big on me.

Just an example.

Certain Bates had less of an angle, but longer jackets...
