Thanks man. Yeah it has a fair amount of wear on it. Have to wonder how quickly this leather ages? Dunno.
It’s also the shiniest leather I’ve got by a large margin. The snaps have a nice pattern on them too

Vintage Cal. Still trying to figure out if it's 50s or 60s
The teardrop pulls indicate 60s to me.

Good to know, thanks! How much did the design of this style really change over the years?

Late 60's to 70's.

Are teardrop pulls earlier than ring pulls, or the other way round?
I think simple ring pulls were first, then chevrons, then teardrops. Roughly 40s, 50s, 60s, respectively. Maybe @tmitchell59 can chime in.

No, later. Teardrop are late 60's and mainly entire 70's. Simple ring and diamond pulls have been manufactured since the 1940's though they've been produced for a while. The cruder, the newer.

Same jacket as yesterday, five star. I did hit it with a tiny, tiny bit of Urad diluted with a drop of Tenderly just to put a bit of a sheen on the leather and make it feel a bit more "premium". I think it's a subtle improvement.

The Talon tear drops are c.1960 as far as I can determine. They go on in the 60s, maybe early 70s. There are also non branded imitations.
