Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

[JackBroChill]

Just taken delivery of the Schott 115 from Ebay can't believe this is from 1983/84,,,unbelievable condition, fits great with sweatshirt,,good with tee-shirt,,well pleased I am really wanted this to work with just a tee shirt though, but i will probably never find another in this condition. A 44 would have been perfect. View attachment 705773

That gold hardware is gorgeous.

Nice jacket. Pretty close to the normal second hand price for the a1s. Not as valuable as their motorcycle jackets.

Ah didn’t know that, I assumed all freewheelers go for a lot more

Super cool D-pocket aviator from Rainbow Country for a great price, sadly the seller gives no measurements(and very little info overall) but it's a size 38 and it's a model I haven't seen from them before(early model? does anyone sit on some info about this badboy?)

Can be found here on Mercari so someone please buy it so I can stop thinking about it

Cheers!

Maybe not a steal, but one of my personal favorite leather jacket models! a Peter's Tailor made repro from Japan(so not a vintage one).

P2P is 52.5cm/20.5" and can also be found here on Mercari

Cheers!

I reached them last week for some info regarding a particular jacket and sizing. I got a generic answer from their front person. Despite the fact, they sell brands I like, I will not be a returned customer due to several poor experiences with him.

Charles has always been quick to answer and super-detailed in his answers to my concerns. I've bought numerous items from HPA and have always been satisfied.

I will say that I was looking at the ELMC jackets a while back. Many were being sold on clearance for $775 (or something very similar). While they are still on clearance, the price has gone up about $200.

Don't know what's more amazing - the lazy seller giving so little info when trying to sell a 1k+ jacket or buyers who gamble on this stuff without any additional info. Not a fan of the back at all personally, too much of a Aero Highwayman vibe, I'd definitely want a different back on an aviator cross-zip. Hope this deters you so that you can stop thinking about it

I agree hah, but I do like the single yoke back on the jacket but different strokes and so on

Cheers!

Since it's unlabeled and made in Canada, wouldn't this be more likely to be a British Cycle Leathers or Brimaco?

That is good to hear. However, that has not been my experience.

Hi everyone. Can anyone help me with the possible ID and age of this jacket?
I have looked around and can’t anything on the “best” zipper. What do you think?

Thanks for the help.

Yeah that's maybe true, but if you want to dodge the waiting time the repro one looks great and from what I read the repros seems like very nice jackets, but LW or Fields(the one I own myself) are a safe bets and they also looks absolutely amazing if you can stand the waiting time!
