Oh Geeez - I had to... I hope it fits. I am usually a 40 but measurements looked good - Wish me luck. Thank you for posting. Will research jacket more when it comes. Hope it does not smell!!!

I have been following that Tauber for ages. If it does not work for you, contact me and maybe I'll buy it from you. I only have enough money for one purchase at this price, and I was holding out for just the right Cal, but that Taubers was very attractive.

But I hope it works for you.

Not much demand for car coats, barnstormers etc I know but this Herc looks to be in superb shape. Listed as XL. $350 opening bid or $500 BiN.

Will do Cowboy. Lots of messages on it so maybe I can research and post some size info. If it fits well I intend to keep it though.

No worries, do what's best for you. I had my chance to purchase it so I truly hope it fits like you want.

I look forward to seeing it on you... those arms actually looked a bit long so I am curious how they will work out. Do you ride? I reckon that was built to ride.

I'm not a biker but I am a semi driver and that sounds like you'd need more than a Lost Worlds to walk away. Glad you are still here to tell the tale. Maybe you'll get a new ride with the new jacket...

Another Roughwear clothing product. Note the Steerhide label. The Hercules label is 1950s.

Here's a cool reversible jacket on eBay Looks to be late 1940s.

Very cool - especially if you want the vintage short fit.

25.5" p2p orchard M/C tan fringed jacket with lenzip zippers, BIN $350. May be some guy on here's style (not mine lol). All the branded jackets with orchard M/C tags that I've seen are HEAVY. This one appears to be in NOS condition, with original manufacturers tags

EDIT - see next post

Interesting 1940s(?) wool and leather half-belt that looks about a 21 pit to pit. Listed as $455 but depop says the seller recently accepted a $275 offer (prospective buyer obviously didn't follow through) so could probably be had for that or less.

This jacket was initially for sale on some Swedish website and was bought by a member here who I believe sold it. I saw this jacket yesterday on a vintage dealers story on IG.

Not sure what’s going on with this listing but buyer beware.

Right, so I know there's an entire sub-forum devoted to this but... Not only do I constantly keep forgetting about it (and I don't think I'm alone on this) but since it's intended for general vintage finds of all kinds, there's just too many stuff to browse through - so - how about a thread dedicated only to good deals on leather jackets?

eBay, Etsy, Grailed, etc. - anything goes as long as the listings aren't yours.

ok so this seem like a nice opportunity ... https://www.ebay.com/itm/236172912163

I've been looking at that one for a while, but I keep getting tripped up by the label. "Tauber" instead of "Taubers." Has anyone ever seen that before?
