    Taubers Horsehide Cafe Racer Jacket

    Vintage Taubers Cafe Racer jacket in horsehide. Taubers was the last manufacturer to stop using horsehide in the US, where most had gone to steerhide beginning in the 60s Taubers kept on using horsehide right into the 70s and maybe 80s. I believe this jacket is from the late 60s or early 70s...

    cracks on old horsehide jacket

    I kind of disagree with the others, those cracks look to me to be mostly topcoat, and will progress very slowly. If you oil it, they will be a non issue for many years. If it were to become worse, I’ve had success repairing weakened cracked leather by simply opening the lining and using...

    My Himel Experience (v2)

    ‘I don’t own a Himel, a little too rich for my blood but this is just good plain old customer service. Offering brand new jackets, years later to guys who for whatever personal reasons never thoroughly addressed the problems with the maker in the first place? That’s more than fair. These...

    A Wool Half-belt, Shearling Barnstormer and NOS Storm Rider walk into a bar...

    Some fit pics for those interested. I’m 5’11” 165lbs. These both wear much longer than the numbers would indicate.

    A Wool Half-belt, Shearling Barnstormer and NOS Storm Rider walk into a bar...

    Waist measurement is 18”. Def need that body builder physique to wear that bottom button closed. If it’s open the hem can stretch out a bit and it’s not an issue, which is how I personally always wear denim jackets.

    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    It attaches to your belt that goes through your pants belt loops, keeping the jacket from riding up on the bike and exposing ass crack to the wind.

    The Real McCoys '30s Cooper Jacket in "Black" Horsehide

    Looks to me like they’re replicating “Russian reindeer” leather, perhaps the most expensive leather in the world. It was leather tanned in 1786 or thereabouts, and then sunken on a merchant vessel. The leather was covered over with silt and remarkably preserved when divers unearthed in from...

    Looking for a shearling jacket for winter, any advice for B3,B6,D1 or other?

    Do not under any circumstances buy anything from Cockpit. I bought a tanker jacket, which showed up literally 3 sizes too large, and I even ordered a size down as recommended on the site. They charged an exorbitant amount for shipping both ways and wouldn’t refund even though they clearly...
