Photos of cool jackets owned by others (non-brand specific)

@Edward I imagine the back d pocket is for a passenger on an MC to put gloves or whatever in. A la certain Bucos. I’m not sure I like how it looks in this configuration. It may look cleaner and less like an afterthought without the D.

Plus, armor in a traditional MC jacket? I thought you would doing backflips over the fact that another option, one offered by Vanson, is available. Lol.

Good to see that Vanson is starting to get back out there.

Saw this on IG...
This guy has a fantastic collection, but tends to tag his boots more than jackets...
Anyone know what this could be?

Langlitz?
Could you post a link, Eric?

 

[handymike]

The IG is @harrystarchief
I thought Langlitz too because of the padding, but this is way cooler than anything I’ve seen on any of the Langlitz feeds.

ha ha. was coming here to post this same shot. Saw it on IG yesterday. Must say, it looks a heck of a lot better being worn than the stills. Really unique features. Wonder if it's comp weight?

These pictures come from a Japanese website.

Never seen a Taubers like this. early label. Looks like the Buco jacket.

Another Taubers from the same website. This one screams 70s!

The kind of jacket that changes your perspective about a maker. Taubers just moved up a few tiers in my mind.

I saw it sometime back on a vintage clothing site in Japan. It was for sale, I don't recall the price. I considered buying it, I was buying from Japan then, but it looked to difficult. And it would not fit me and would become rather expensive to move.

I've had my eye for one, but my hopes are all I have. Looks like they used the early Buco style police jacket as a model. Don't recall the model number. Has that deep rich horsehide.

There are still interesting older Taubers out there. They were making/selling leather jackets under the Taubers name by 1941,

I've been sayin' for years they're the best. Consistently nicest looking true vtg jackets. Whatever tannery they were sourcing their hide from... One of those things forever lost that won't ever be repeated.

Ive heard you and others. And appreciated the Taubers flowing through here. But this jacket is like a brick to the head.

Forever lost, I like that. Very true.

Wow, that is nothing short of awful.

I wonder is the 'D' an easier way of adding a pocket there, as it's just stitched on top rather than feeding into the lining like a regular pillion pocket. If it's big enough for gloves, that would make sense.

Plus, armor in a traditional MC jacket? I thought you would doing backflips over the fact that another option, one offered by Vanson, is available. Lol..

THat's definitely a plus - just a pity it looks overlong and seems to distort the proportions. Otherwise, yes, always a good thing to see. Always surprises me it's taken so many years of retro styling being big on bikes for that to start to filter out to the riding gear too.

I’m stilling mulling over whether I’d get a lot of wear out of a LL Lightning and trawling through Insta pics for inspiration. Decisions, decisions …

Short answer, yes. Post more of these pics and I may want one. The top pic is unbelievable.

And that’s exactly the enabling and encouragement I was looking for!

Man, I don't know, I still find the branding patch on the chest completely garish. Especially at that price point. Turns me off from ever considering a Lewis... but that's just me.
