John Lofgren Monkey Boots Shinki Horsebuttt - $1,136 The classic monkey boot silhouette in an incredibly rich Shinki russet horse leather. -
Grant Stone Diesel Boot Dark Olive Chromexcel - $395 Goodyear welted, Horween Chromexcel, classic good looks. -
Schott 568 Vandals Jacket - $1,250 The classic Perfecto motorcycle jacket, in a very special limited-edition Schott double rider style.
That fits absolutely perfect. This one would be a very good candidate for a “one jacket only” type of collection. Covers all bases IMO. Well done.

That's a beautiful hwm @handymike! And your photos are wonderful too, really professional quality. Makes me more ashamed than ever with my feeble smartphone pics. What's your set up?

That is unbelievably nice. Easily one of the nicest jackets and fits posted on this forum. Good score!

Does it smell like roses? Nice looking jacket and great fit.
Thanks Terry! No, it doesn’t 
smell which was a disappointment. I was really hoping for it to... but for a 35 year old jacket it’s in fantastic shape. The only holes are in the lining along the belt line. The zippers are incredibly smooth, and the stitching (which is more like Himel and GW) is all tight. One incredibly well built jacket.

Thank you. I use a DSLR on self timer. I shoot a lot of them and crop out my awful expressions. For the jacket shots, I use a worklight pointed at the corner of my living-room so the wall/ ceiling are making reflections. Set the camera to auto white balance, stand on a ladder and go...nobody else is home of course.

They are the people behind the Ebay Global Shipping Program, I believe. At least I first heard that name when I had problems with the GSP and tried to figure out whom to contact. My trust in them is very limited since one of their employers straight up stole my jacket a while back. Jacket was sent to the GSP distribution center, where they labeled it as restricted item, refunded me and kept the jacket. Someone probably had to re-pack it for international delivery and liked it and decided to keep it.

WOW! Really cool jacket. You wear it well. I should've taken a closer look at that auction listing because the measurements are spot-on for me. But I'm glad a fellow Lounger snagged it!

Incoming: 1960s Langlitz Police Cascade, unlined. If it fits, I may take it to Langlitz and have a liner put in.
This is awesome. I really dig the Cascade design. Didn't know police departments used them. I'd suggest wearing it sans lining first to see how you like it. I'm personally kind of a stickler for originality when it comes to vintage pieces.

Yeah, me too, especially for a jacket of this vintage and design. Ive never seen a Langlitz police jacket in this particular design before. I got it for a good price so if it fits, I may just use it as my main riding jacket.

Normally I don’t care for pins but that pin is cool as Hell. I’d do it.

Not a fan of pins. I'd be a little upset if I found a used jacket I bought had pin holes, although I'd probably get used to them over time if I really liked the jacket itself.
It’s 1930s Navajo.
