Shields leather

This jacket caught my eye:

I really like its design, and in white leather with gold stitching it is striking. Fortunately it's too small for me. [emoji16]

I haven't heard any talk here about the maker, though. Is anyone familiar with Shields?

Gorgeous. Too bad. Small for me too.

I know. I never thought I'd develop feelings for white leather, too.

Shields, I do believe, is a Canadian maker and may be related in some way to British Cycle Racers/ Brimaco. I believe a Buco/Brooks/Reed type thing except in Canada eh.

If you look closely at the label of the jacket, indeed, it says they're from Toronto. I wondered about a Brimaco relationship, too, as the styling is very similar.

The lightening zips too. That's a Canadian maker of hardware. Shields are nice. Never had one but several have caught my eye. Particularly this model in blue. Go fig.

I like the white CR.

A good CR design, nice contrast between the white leather and the golden stitching.
I've spoted a few Shields before. Most if not all of them were CR designs.

Were stores that sold them called Agents of Shields?

Sorry, that is bad even by my dad joke standards . . . But I couldn't resist!

I've owned a couple of Shields (of Toronto) over years...one in black which I sold. And I still have one in Blue. Same design- with the Lightening zips, shoulder pads and buckles. Serviceable cowhide leather and decent quality for the time.They are definitely a very distinctive take on the classic cafe racer, especially in the white and blue.

There was a blue one just like that recently for sale on eBay. They were asking $180. Definitely different and cool. Just not quite my size.

Yup. Dude had two. The blue and a tan version. I was close. But I knew it'd end up small.

 

[JMax]

I do that a lot... tell myself it will fit, buy it and it ain’t close.

You could always stop lifting weights and eating to get that small. Then the adventure starts all over! New jackets to find to fit in them

Those are the two things I like more than leather jackets tho!
