How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

[Blackadder]

This is a cool one. Got that 70s look in the front. Are you planning to apply some Urad to darken it up?

It looks a bit dry so I will apply some Columbus Leatherien and Leather Crystal on but no Urad. I think the lotion will darken the leather a bit but not like coloured Urad does.

What a great. Can't wait for the detail photos.

Excuse the quick photos. The jacket is a great fit, nice leather that is easy to wear. Not as pristine as some other jackets posted on here, but overall good condition and it smells like good old leather.

Hey hey I like me some cheap too lol!

Nah but I’ll definitely pay up though. However, it must be rare, mint condition and my size.

Quality can be had for cheap. With patience and persistence you can acquire an entire collection on the cheap.

Here are some of mine.

Just got this great condition 50’s Guide Master last weekend for $175 at a flea market.

I’ve never heard of those two.

Are they liquidy or more of a paste?

Don’t know if you’ve heard of Lexol, but I use it for all my leather goods. Liquidy conditioner. Easy to apply even with your bare hands. And it has a good lingering smell after.

But I’m always interested in trying new products.

Would be way too small for you. It’s kind of tight on me. So much so that one shoulder seam ****** open. If I did sell I’d need to repair it. It’s a keeper though.

Thanks for nice photos. Great vibe. Love the color combination of the leather, the zippers and snapbuttons.

Love it when a sleeve has not creases but ROLLS. Like boots. Indicates properly thick leather.

I though so too before but it's not just the thickness. Sometimes thin leather will roll like that & thick one will break. It's interesting & I can't figure out what the cause is. Maybe how much oil is inside it.

Nice finds! You have been busy. The RP is always a nice addition. You will need another room! Post that RP in the thread, that red label is seldom seen.

Leatherien is a liquid cleaning lotion with mink oil. Leather Crystal is jojoba oil wax with lanolin, a paste. If extremely dry with crackd, i may use mccoys horse oil.
Columbus products are more readily available here being products from Japan.

Will, did you ever end up getting that Califorian CHP with the zip sleeves? I've always wanted to see how that jacket looks on you.

With the detachable collar too? Nice!! Never seen that Talon on a RP. This is a standard RP police jacket in horsehide. These can have the label at the neck or below the interior pocket. Early post-war c.1946.

I have a RP catalog page with this jacket listed. I will find it

Thank you.

Work has been slow for a while, more time to scour for jackets although only the Guide Master was real recent, everything else I’ve had for a while.

One room for my jackets is enough for now!

I posted the RP in the thread a while ago.

Ralphs-Pugh Company

Another amazing RP discovery. I don't think I have this jacket in my achieve, maybe another similar. Pot metal War Time zipper stop. The ones I own do not have any numbers as earlier ones do. This has a distinct 3 and a letter I can't make out. I would say 1943 month unknown. Now know...

Thank you, I can't keep up anymore! Yes, I commented on the jacket. Getting Old.

Love everything about this one...

Just picked up a vanson, which are harder to come by. This is a collab with left field and the leather feels amazing.

Unfortuantely it’s too big for me, sigh….

Decided to throw a bid at this Cal. Hopefully sizing works out. The two vintage Cal-leather cafe racer jackets I've handled were awesome, but I've had to either return them for undisclosed issues or sold off due to sizing issues.
