Really Really Fantastic!! Suits you to a Tee there!

Thanks! It's my best fitting jacket for sure.

That’s an interesting friend you got there. Is the belt being secured by those brass rivets?

Looks great. What’s the quality like?. Had a look at the Fivestar webpage - very reasonably priced jackets. Where are they made?.

When I am over in Poland visiting family, Vanek is my only leather jacket I keep over there, so I guess I will bore you guys to death with it. I like it - a no-nonsense Austrian motorcycle cop jacket, perfect for this cool May weather - 17C seemingly every day, some rain, some sunshine. The leather is smooth, but that is the nature of the beast for this one. The jacket is certainly not a lightweight at about 5 lbs. A great grab-and-go.

Have a look at their dedicated thread for the full version. The quality of my jacket is great. Fit is good, pattern is okay, stitching is good. I like the leather, it’s their seal goat. Thick but soft and has nice grain and creases easily in the sleeves. Only real complaint I’ve got with them is that their leather colour is a bit uniform and boring, no depth.
They have off the rack jackets and they do custom builds. Their off the racks look weirdly sized to my eyes. Custom I’ve seen some hits and misses. You really have to pay attention to every detail when you order custom from them. I followed the procedure of @MrProper for my custom order and it turned out exactly as I wanted it.

Thanks to @nattevagten !
Great leather and a great pattern. I still have to get used to that collar.
Never even thought about buying a Board Racer but sometimes you just have to take the chance...

Delraiser. Was too hot the past few days to wear a jacket then socal decided back to the mid 60s. Leather on the jacket is finally softening up a bit.

Another interesting question. No, the brass pieces do not intersect with the belt. It is sewn on. The purpose of these pieces? Maybe, weight/stiffness, decorative,?

Will Zach...you own the look!
Of all the jackets you post, none wear you!
It’s reaffirmation that you don’t have to be a kid to rule in the leather jacket world.

Thank you. Appreciate the kind comment. Yeah, I made a decision to focus this hobby on vintage jackets and "do them justice" by wearing them and not letting them wear me. If in any part I succeeded, I owe it to @Monitor and other fine Loungers.

Looks like maybe an older Golden Bear???? Talon Tear Drop pulls, shirt collar great condition and darn good price. Smaller size.

Courtesy of Claybertrand and the "Finds and Deals" thread, I am now the proud owner of this jacket. Advertised as 18 inch pit-pit, but it was actually 20 inches. It's not exactly a slim fit on me, but I think it works out because of the thick, padded lining. There's also room for layering - so it'll be a pretty good jacket for colder weather. I'd be interested to see what age and make the jacket historians among us would place this at. Original tag is long gone, so I have no idea who made it. You'd just have to go off the pattern and Talon zippers I guess. Some of the comments from this thread lead me to think it might be a 70s Golden Bear based on the tear-drop Talon pulls, but I wouldn't bet my life on it.

Definitely a keeper I think. Amazing leather quality, and I quite like the color. Lining is completely intact, and there really isn't any signs of deterioration or damage on the leather. There was some sort of old stain on the back and an unidentifiable food stain on the right elbow (maybe old beer) that I cleaned off with diluted white vinegar and a damp rag. It's so well preserved, that there isn't much TLC required here I think.

Beautiful color. Ptp may be a bit wider than what you're used to but I think it looks absolutely fantastic.
