Beautiful jacket! Love those plaid wool lining. Your snaps are not complete. It appears from the uploaded images, the snap's stud or sockets are missing. If the eyelets and caps still usable, the job will be much easier.I just picked up this beauty from an antique store today. I think it’s a Sears Hercules but I can’t read the label, and the label looks different from the ones in the great Sears MC catalog thread by @tmitchell59.
But maybe it’s a late 40s/early 50s Hercules judging by the lining and the D pocket? Conmar main zip, Talon sleeve zips. Did anyone else have this kind of lining?
I think I got a good deal, but there is one thing that’s not perfect. A lot of the snaps don’t connect to anything. See pic. They look kind of rusted out? Not a huge deal for me as the fit is pretty good and everything else looks to be in great shape. Anyway, I’m excited! My first 50s motorcycle jacket, kind of a grail for me.
