AI generated a photo of me searching for my next leather jacket obsession, and of course jackets to post on Finds and Deals.

Per the seller: 1940s Narrayanfett horsehide A2. The knits are shot and it needs a new lining but the leather and graining is looking good. Approximately $270 USD at the moment.

No size tag but measurements provided by seller:

Shoulder width 44.5
Body width 56.5
Length 58.5
Sleeve length 59

My guess is the knits could be replaced for $200 USD and the lining and pocket bags for another $300 USD, so if someone gets lucky with the ultimate sale price and does a quality restoration they could be into it for less than $1000 USD total.

For all the Buzz Rickson's fans - A2 with rear stencil, size 36. Approximately $500 USD - there's a scratch on the right front panel by the pocket and what looks to be a very small hole in the waist knit, but overall it looks really nice.

Another Buzz Rickson's, this time a B2. Size tag says 34 but seller's measurements are larger. At approximately $560 USD could be a steal for the right person.

For anyone in the Portland, OR area - Facebook Marketplace vintage Langlitz for $425 USD.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplac...wse_serp:62ce083c-8383-45ea-aba2-116b2253cbd3

Seller notes two small areas of damage to the leather, but also states that Langlitz confirmed these areas do not affect the wearability, and will not get worse.

I don't know why but I'm always on the hunt for a cool project piece, and things like this tickle me.

My guess is that Langlitz could provide the necessary repairs and someone could quite happily find themselves in possession of a great, vintage Langlitz for a relatively good price.

For the east coast folks, specifically Pennsylvania - Vanson Model B, Dr. House jacket for $600 USD.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplac...wse_serp:4056dc70-4ebe-4f41-9555-06dbe8a79093

I dig the stripes and more subtle Vanson branding - leather looks nice on this one.

This RMC letterman's jacket is very cool. It's size 34 but for approximately $95 USD this thing is a steal. Seems like a small mark on the upper right chest panel but overall it looks great.

Shoulder width: 42cm
Body width: 47cm
Length: 58cm

Not a jacket but rather an entire yearbook of RMC from 2009. At approximately $12 USD this could be a good reference book.

Someone should hop on this! RMC HD size 38, for approximately $520 USD. Leather looks good and the description doesn't note any issues - also seller seems open to further questions.

I've never seen this jacket before - bright red steer hide RMC size 42. Approximately $930 USD. Seller notes a small mark on the upper rear shoulder but it's very hard to see in the photos.

This is a nice one. Early 60s, not horsehide. I've seen a variety of interiors in this era, but this is the first with "wool" lining. These are great jackets by a great name, Taubers. If you want a cross zip in this size, take a good look.

Anyone know what the style name is for this jacket from RMC? Pretty much exactly what I have been looking for

@soreilly the seller incorrectly labels it as a J-100, which it's not. It looks like an older version of the new (now horsehide) Buco Style King.

https://therealmccoys.com/collections/outerwear/products/buco-style-king

Current retail is $3,550 USD, so this one at approximately $930 USD is a steal by comparison.

Here's the Japanese RMC site, but the Style King isn't noted.

I know a lot of folks here love a good Hercules. Size M by the seller, and at approximately $245 USD this could be a good one.

I'm not an expert but the leather looks good - the top coat is obviously worn in most places but the actual leather seems pretty okay, free from cracks, etc.

@tmitchell59 what do you think?

Per seller:

Body width: 49cm
Shoulder width: 44.5cm
Length: 59.8cm
Sleeve length: 62.5cm

I now this; California Sportswear Co. made the jacket in steerhide in the 1950s. The Palm Tree, made in California logo, are CSC. They were one the 3 major suppliers of leather outerwear for Sears. CSC began making leather jackets in the mid 1930. Leather Sportswear is all they did.

They are typically a quality jacket,
