Taubers of California

[Mr.Sterling]

It was on Etsy. It sold. Then, it was returned. It was on for awhile again after that. I finally bought it, but then nothing happened. It never shipped. I couldn’t get ahold of the woman who was selling it. So I did some digging. This is how I came across the fact that it had been sold before. So, I thought that I had been scammed. I wrote several messages, but still couldn’t get the seller to communicate with me. I had to open a case against her. It was a long process. They side with the seller very strongly on Etsy. Finally she got back to me and explained she had been in the hospital. She told me the story of it being bought and retuned. She sent me the jacket. All in all it took about a month. Haha. So, I worked for this jacket. It’s really nice though.

Early 50’s (I think) Taubers. No hide distinction. Horse seems likely, right? Pretty much new. I wouldn’t even say this is broken in really. Strange though bc the zipper appears to be not original, although I think Taubers did use C&C (crown zips) so perhaps they did the repair job themselves. It’s a very clean job and an old Talon zipper pull was in the pocket. Doesn’t seem a zipper would fail on a jacket that hasn’t been worn much…

Wow, stellar jacket! Shoot me a message if you ever decide to move it on!

I do have some Taubers. Some came in the crown type and other with Talon. Even the big #10 zips fail often. However, the zip looks original to the jacket. If you would like a closer opinion about the zipper, post several close-ups of the zipper pull and slider, as well as the sewing job on the zip. There is a wealth of information from members here that can stop an original zipper job.

Hopefully these help. Let me know if you need something else. The last pic shows the zipper pull I found in the pocket.

Zipper was replaced. That pull was probably the original. Mine has that same #5 Talon
