Nice work, thank you! Hopefully, the collective can keep to it's manners this time.

Is there a way to add tags or keywords to make the list easy to find/search for?

 

[Feraud]

Nicely done!

Incredibly great and useful job. Watch, though, tomorrow we'll see a new thread: "Help! Where can I find a nice A-2?"

Watch, though, tomorrow we'll see a new thread: "Help! Where can I find a nice A-2?"

Which will remain a reasonable question, surely?

I tried to create a list of current manufacturers of reproduction leather jackets that I have seen mentioned on this forum:

Aero Leathers
Alpha Industries
Avirex
Belstaff
Bill Kelso Manufacturing Company
Buzz Rickson’s
Cal-Leather Jackets
Cockpit USA
Diamond Clothing Company
Eastman Leather Clothing
ELMC (subsidiary of Eastman Leather)
Fourspeed Leathers
Freewheelers
Gibson & Barnes
Good Wear Leather
High Large Leathers
Himel Brothers Leather Company
Johnson Leather Corporation
Langlitz Leathers
Lewis Leathers
Lost Worlds
Mister Freedom
Norshor Leather
Orgueil
Pegasus Durable Clothing
Rainbow Country
Real McCoy’s
RRL
Schott NYC
Simmons Bilt (fka Alexander Leathers)
Tenjin Works
Thedi Leathers
The Flat Head
Toys McCoy
Us Authentic
Vanson Leathers
Wested Leather Company
Whitefeather Manufacturing Company

I apologize if I omitted any manufacturers that are discussed here and should be included. I will add them later.

I gathered the following information regarding each of the listed manufacturers:

Website
Owner/Proprietor
Country
Jacket Types
Approximate Base Price Range (2017)
Customization
Representative Leathers
Representative Models (2017)

Please excuse the inevitable mistakes, missing information, typos and other errors. Please let me know what needs to be corrected. I will revise, correct and add to the list as time permits. I don’t think I will have the time to maintain and update the list going forward, but I will try to at least get the initial wave of corrections done.

It would be great if the links for the represented models were embedded in the name of the model, rather than following the model name, but that takes a long time and I ran out of time. Maybe someone else can do this and I will add it to the list.

I hope this will be useful.

Hey @HatlyMan
Kudos on the research. That was a huge project, and must have taken a lot to time and energy! Very useful.
Thanks!
