This is really great. New such jackets out of Japan and elsewhere can cost upwards of a grand; this is better.

Looks fine! Nice to have at least one vintage Suede and this is a nice one. No doubt a Windward like mine. Be gentle with it.
An OG majestic. Splendid man. SUPERB!!

Gorgeous jacket. I wanted to grab it myself, but the chest was too small if I remember correctly.

Picked up this awesome Al’s CHP over the weekend. It’s super heavy at ~8 lbs. Only thing is, the arms are incredibly long and go over about half of my palms :/ I’m seriously considering getting the extra length taken off. Been looking for an awesome CHP like this for a while now.

Those sleeves are seriously long. Awesome jacket, should be well worth to fix!

Leather looks thick, could even pass for Elg skin. Great find. Has a Lewis Leathers vibe too.

I liked the suede jacket I got so much I saw another one with the quite similar measurements and couldn't resist it. A couple jackets go out, a couple light suede ones come in. Looks pretty old, pretty nice condition.
Yes, this Talon zipper looks old, @tmitchell59 I am sure can help in dating it...I liked the suede jacket I got so much I saw another one with the quite similar measurements and couldn't resist it. A couple jackets go out, a couple light suede ones come in. Looks pretty old, pretty nice condition.

Shanhouse of Rockford, Illinois......Zipper is c.1935. This is a very cool jacket. I have one Shanhouse jacket. The produced outerwear through the 1950s, not only leather but cloth materials too.Yes, this Talon zipper looks old, @tmitchell59 I am sure can help in dating it...

JL arrived. 2 mm thick, mega-heavy, white leather. Fully armoured. Quilt lined. Perfect jacket. I don't understand why is it that white leather is consistently thicker than any other. Or maybe that's just my experience. In any case, now I gotta dig out all the armour to make it wearable but with this & Vanson, honestly can't wait for cold(er) days.

Just received 2 Wools and one incredible horsehide MC on the way. All 3 are too Small for me and each are excellent ++. Both wools are ready for the classifieds, waiting on the MC jacket.
