    Suggestions for a visit to London? (Leather jackets, boots, motorcycle related stuff.)

    I'll be in London for a couple of days at the end of May, and would love to browse in some nice thrift stores or even non-thrift stores. Most especially vintage/classic jackets, maybe boots, and any place related to vintage/custom motorcyles. I was there a few years ago for just a day and...

    Cal or Al's straight zip CHP-style jacket (a slim 42)

    I recently picked this up from another forum member, but it is not quite what I need. It fits a little snug on me, probably just right for a dedicated riding jacket, but not quite for more casual wear as well; and the leather is thicker than I want (but very pliable). I am not an expert on...

    Singer moosehide halfbelt (42 or so)

    This is a quick catch and release acquired recently from @Corky Corcovado. I think it’s a really cool classic beater jacket, but just a little too tight in the chest and short in the sleeves for me. I am 6 foot about 185, with a fit picture below. There is one small hole in the jacket, and a...

    Score/Shields cafe racer jacket (42/40) — $125 shipped.

    This is a catch and release, purchased just recently from Thurston Brothers, and I will post their description below. This is one of those frustrating examples where, according to the measurements it should fit me perfect but it’s just a little small for me. I would say it fits like a slim 42...

    Eastman Leather, ELMC Californian 44 (fits like a 42) — $640 shipped. *SOLD*

    Apparently these sell new for $1500, but get yours here for $640 shipped! This one is far from new, but has been worn well and taken care of well. It’s Eastman’s Havana brown leather, with their own special rayon/twill lining of some sort, which is in pretty much perfect condition, and I have...

    ELMC Californian -vs- Simmons Bilt Tailgunner?

    I've been thinking lately that I might "need" a brown, midweight, collared jacket, mainly for riding. I see these two options currently available: an ELMC Californian size 44, and a Simmons Bilt Tailgunner size 42. Both look just right to me with regard to styling and are comparable in asking...

    Cool vintage (Shields?) cafe racer jacket, size 41(!) or so.

    I think this is a really cool motorcycle jacket, with some nice details, including the collar snap and elbow pads. It has no label, but as someone suggested on another thread, seems like it might be from the Canadian jacket maker Shields. And I bought it from a guy in Canada. Measurements...

    Carharrt Craft Pants, NWT, 36/38

    These are really nice pants, but just too big for me. They are marked a 36 but fit more like a 38. Waist measures 19.5”. They sell new for $135, but I got these on sale and will sell them for what I paid if anyone is interested. $69 plus $8 shipping in the US. Pics below are stock but if you...

    Any help on identifying the maker of this café racer jacket?

    I am mostly just interested out of curiosity, but may end up listing it for sale and would be interested to know more about it before I do that. I bought it from a guy in Canada. It’s got nice details, including elbow patches, and that snap on the collar. main zipper is marked Pride, and sleeve...

    Here’s an interesting Buco on the eBay

    I’ve seen lots of J100s and the various cross zips, but don’t think I’ve ever seen this straight zip collared design: https://www.ebay.com/itm/185329896921

    Hedon full face motorcycle helmet (L)

    Not sure if this will get much interest here but figured I’d try TFL first before going to the eBay. Believe it or not this is a $1000 helmet! It’s British made and they sell it for over $1000, and the only one I see available in the US is at revival cycles for over $900. It seems...

    What color pants would you wear the shirt with?

    The darker, second picture is probably a little closer to true color. Brown pants I guess? What about black? Or light gray?

    Who’s going to pick up this Himel Bros?

    Currently on their “make us an offer page”. Seems interesting enough to call attention to it: https://himelbros.com/collections/ready-to-wear/products/arrowhead-size-42-horween-horsehide

    Help on choosing fabric to reline a cafe racer jacket..?

    I am thinking of relining an old CR jacket, and need to figure out what material to use. I plan to use if for summer riding, so don't want a quilted lining. And I'd like it to be less "grabby" to put on than cotton drill. Basically, the sort of thinner fabric you find in the old Brooks...

    Yellow Rat brand button-down pullover shirt (L)

    This is a really cool 60s CA retro style shirt that I got a few years ago, but have never washed or worn except to try it on. I am 6' about 185 lbs (and slightly in need of a Manssiere) and it's just a bit too tight for me. It's "new with tags" as you can see. I must have been feeling flush...

    Three high(ish) end white pocket tees for $30 (XL).

    My favorite style of t shirt, and sometimes I end up with some that just don't work for me. These three have all been washed once and tried on for size, but are otherwise unworn. All marked XL but differing slight in measurements, listed below. The 3Sixteen is the heaviest, their "heavy...

    Midwestern Sport Togs jacket (about a 42)

    I recently picked this up from Terry but it doesn't quite work for me, so am relisting it here for what I paid -- $100 shipped in the US. Terry knows a lot more about these jackets than I do, so I am going to link to his original post, which in turn has links to more pics and a video...

    Rebel Mens Wear and Accessories?

    Anyone know anything about this Japanese company/store? Not sure I could actually wear anything with the brand-name “rebel,” but I just came across them on Instagram and they’ve got some pretty cool jackets and boots. They don’t have a separate website as far as I can tell, but they have an...

    The Dave Sheeley Custom Leather Jacket Thread

    I've posted several pictures of the custom jacket made for me by Dave Sheeley, and I was about to post new pics on one of the previous threads; but it occurred to me that it's time for a dedicated Dave Sheeley custom jacket thread. I know that a few others here have had Dave make full jackets...

    [Sold] The Strike Gold Loopwheeled T Shirt (White, XXXL fits like XL).

    Honestly, I don't even know what "loopwheeled" means, but every once in a while I go ahead and try out a high end tshirt. This is made in Japan and apparently a very good company. But I'm sort of a Goldilocks when it comes to t shirt fit, and this one is just a little off for me. I got it from...
