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

Do you have a link to Rebel?

They’re only on Instagram and email as far as I can tell. As others have mentioned and @Blackadder confirmed, they’re actually just a middle man on many of their offerings.

If you take a screenshot from their insta and google search the image you can often find the original seller.

Here’s the link to the coat I was talking about:

No kidding. Lots going on in Portland right now. I’ll pass for the foreseeable future.

I do not know what is like recently but I did stop in at Langlitz in the early 2000s when Dave was managing the shop. It was cool a lot of used jacket for sale and the tailors on site. I purchased a pair of leather riding trousers and Dave had the cuffs shorten while I waited. Same thing at Johnson Leathers I purchased a jacket for me wife, back when she would ride with me and Alan had the sleeves shorten while we waited.
Langlitz in the past was good about repairing of altering their jackets for reasonable costs. Not say they do not now just my experiences were years ago under different management.

I have noticed it’s odd they carry plenty of other Asian makers, but then also make their own designs...sometimes based on jackets they are already carrying by another maker? It’s odd but they have had some really cool looking stuff. Haven’t tried them yet but have communicated back and forth a few times and they are very friendly and fairly decent at English, seems it would be a pleasant experience.

I doubt very much the Rebel design any of the jackets. They are merely selling what is offered by manufacturers on Taobao. It is those sellers/manufacturers on Taobao who copied and sometimes tweaked the design of Japanese and Western makers.

Speaking of Rebel, I’ve been following them for a while. Just found this thread, interesting to see I’m not alone in my appreciation for the styles they’re offering.

This belted, blanket-lined outdoorsman coat caught my eye, but the alignment of the elbow leather patches concerned me. Is this intentional, or does it appear “off” to you? What do y’all think of the style, is it a knock off of one you’re familiar with? I like the Thedi leather & fabric designs but don’t want to put the $$$ down....yet. This could be like an appetizer. It’s $330 shipped from Hong Kong btw

Can’t claim to know for 99% of them. But a while back they did have two I was interested in. They didn’t have labels and I asked. According to them it was made in house.

Well even their photos were copied from different Taobao sellers. My guess is they simply removed the labels. At the least they provided some service because it would be very difficult to search through Taobao in English and you cannot buy from Taobao directly unless you have a credit card or bank account in China. To claim that they made them in house is just too much but they do serve well as a sourcing and proxy service.

I've seen a few Jackets posted on the reb_bel account show up from different sellers on aliexpress a few weeks later. To me it felt like they were somewhere in the manufacturing/distribution chain and so were getting the products slightly earlier.

Another cool one from Rebel. Buco J-24 in Vegtan Cow

Langlitz posted this. Original 1947 Columbia with crown zipper; mouton collar and Speedway Togs label.

Y2 leather. I haven't handled one of their jackets myself, but judging from these pictures they are top notch.

French seams, double stitching, vegetable tanned leather, and look at those stretch marks on the back!

Put on a red knit cap and you'd look like a long olive...

What do you guys think about this?

What do you guys think about this?

Beautiful, normally not into long leather jackets but this model looks great. There's one listed on eBay now, love the look of the leather they use, but not my size and way too expensive for me.

 

[l0fielectronic]

What do you guys think about this?

Do you think, if you really wanted, you could track down the jacket with the alternating pannels and have them matched up with this one?

Too dramatically mismatched for me. Fine Creek seems to enjoy this kind of appearance. I certainly prefer a better match.
