it’s the darn snow and ice on the ground that can stop me from even riding.

And don't forget all the salt they spread. That $hit can ruin a nice bike in no time.

A work jacket that really looks like it was used for work...

This is a silly jacket
The chenille patches are from the 90s or early 2000s when Johnson was pushing their t shirts and moto-style with Lucky brand. Around the same time as Ed Hardy. Really, who would advertize a cushman (meter maid scooter) and racing type motorcycle on the same jacket. The part that throws me is Lee Trevor. Were they still in business in 2000?
Bummer about Johnson is that the t shirts were great, but the graphics got pretty crazy, and the sizing was all over the place. I still have a few, but hardly wear them.

Old Taubers...... You never know where a vintage jacket will be found in the world. So many cool vintage American ones pop up in Japan for example. But you still have these pockets in and around the area where some of these jackets were made where there still seem to be relative "concentrations" of them to be found. You seem to find more Schotts and Passaics in New York and New Jersey, more Langlitz in Portland, and seemingly, more Taubers in and around San Francisco/Bay Area, one of the original production hot spots. I wonder how many old Taubers, Block Bilt, etc.---maybe even some older Johnson Leathers jackets are still to be found in the area....... sometimes I wish I could just go hunting for jackets in vintage and thrift shops like in the olden days....... But I digress.....

This is a fine older Tauber. Not cheap. Interesting assortment of Zipper pulls (original or replacements?) Having handled a few Taubers that were too small for me (and I THINK I still have an untagged one that actually FITS!) I think they are some of the best Old Vintage jackets I have seen. Part of it may be the lack of knowledge and history of the company that creates a sort of mystique for me. Being from California, I am a little partial to the Cali made jackets but even aside from that the Taubers seem to be in the "special" category.

Fieldmaster HH 40-- Ok, no BIN --just a miniscule starting bid---but these things fly under most people's radar or perhaps are not everyone's taste so I think someone will get this at a good price. These are cool jackets and this one has the knits in good condition which is really the only place these jackets go bad.

If it had been my size I’d have gone into my overdraft!
