I just received the Lexol cleaner & conditioner. I've been using Pecard for three years when I felt it was necessary, but I've read so many good things about Lexol that I decided to try its effects on my jackets.

Peter, this zipper can be rescued! Just take a look at these threads: 1 & 2 Good luck!

Unhatted, that jacket is absolutely killer! And the fit? Perfect. The weight, the texture... this thing has presence. Given the thicker leather, the o-ring pocket pulls, and the absence of epaulets, I'd say the jacket was made in the very early 70's (or just a little earlier) for a highway...

Just noticed that "Hill Street Blues" star Michael Conrad is wearing a Ralphs-Pugh horsehide jacket.

Late 80's Schott 118 yesterday.

This Perfecto arrived today! :) All is in place: zippers & snaps working, and pockets with no holes (but some tobbaco inside). The only drawback is that one of the cuffs pullers is broken, only the half remains. Hesitating between whether this Schott is 618 or 118. As far I know, both are...

This nice 70s Lesco w/ belt & collar, size 40, BIN $200: eBay If it weren't for the shipping + customs costs, this jacket would come to Barna.

You know, this Cal for low bid (let's see how high the auction goes): eBay

I tried on this Schott A2 and loved it, but they were asking way too much for it.

Well, I think these two Cals fit the concepts of find and deal: Straightzip, 23" p2p, BIN $100 Crosszip, size 36, BIN $175

Cal, size 40 for $195 Craigslist

I don't usually share non-leather jackets, but I really loved this one: eBay $110
