You can kill potential mildew and clean suede with distilled white vinegar and baking sodaSuede trucker from Etsy arrived. Metal buttons should arrive this week. Once I get these God awful things replaced I think this is a pretty cool jacket. The tag makes me wonder if it’s the same maker that made all those HH jackets in the 50’s. The Californian had an ignominious end as a suede trucker? Works for me. I’ll have at least 5 of these in my closet before summer starts.

No need. No odors. Just some wear staining and age. Gave the Lysol covid 19 bath. Good to go.You can kill potential mildew and clean suede with distilled white vinegar and baking soda
Boy i do dig this jacket. It could easily be a brown favorite.
Excellent jackets. They put some surprising good effort into the pattern work on these IMO. Simple designs, but cut properly. I wish I could transform my 42 Sporster into a 40 and have it fit as good as yours. But for now, its my only CR that will fit over a sweater or just be a true 50's baggy fit with a T.I have just been wearing my vtg HD Sportster around the house. I like how the light from the window picked up the creasing on the left sleeve.

That is very true. Humans adapt to temperatures in which they dwell. When Floridians or Californians complain that 50F in NYC feels "freezing", it is real, not just talk.
I dunno, you’re jackets are usually some of my favorites but those chest pockets are insanely high and collar very tiny. Maybe the new buttons will change things but imo you can do much better in a suede trucker. I say keep looking!Suede trucker from Etsy arrived. Metal buttons should arrive this week.

I completely agree. The chest pockets should be an inch lower and more in line with the second button from the top. Collar is small but that doesn’t bother me all that much (but I do really want a much more 70’s looking collar). It fits really well though, so it will serve me well as a template for the next several dozen.I dunno, you’re jackets are usually some of my favorites but those chest pockets are insanely high and collar very tiny.

Fortunately, they aren’t expensive.
I think that was made by Passaic leathers. Very high quality cop jackets. Their site remains unchanged from the first day of the internet: http://www.passaicleather.com/'60s '70s Newark NJ Motorcycle Police.
No tag but found one identical for sale, I don't know anything about them, if anyone do pleas let it pour.
Thanks.
