Very, very nice! It is seemingly fun but unpretentious purely 70's piece that also looks luxurious and pricey. Could literally be your trademark movie outfit, @ton312! You could be the guy in that jacket, which is something I strive to.

That's great news and a great haul! The trucker fits you nearly as good as the Dickies one. ;)

They arrived!??

Bates actually is the best. Was, at least but Bates jackets are the best I've seen, handled, worn, had. They're pure equipment. More-so than Vanson. Speaking of, you know Vanson's ever popular Bones jacket? Well Bates did it first and Bates' (well, technically, ABC Leathers') version is a work...

There is a pair by Viridi-Anne that I like seeing a lot but I'm not (yet) sure how much I'd enjoy wearing them. Horsehide of course and they do come in black. https://fascinate-online.com/english/products/vi-dh-001-09-red

@Harris HTM , @torfjord , thank you! I appreciate it. :D @unhatted , good eye but these aren't much good, either. They're my granddad's old goat leather gloves, I just cut the fingers off because they were coming apart. I am currently looking for a better pair, too so you're probably already...

Nick!

I've given it months of reconsideration but it's just not... Well, me, no more. It's okay, it's just a cool jacket. :) The only reason that I'm listing it is because I seem to have switched to mostly suits and blazers entirely. The jacket is just not seeing much (any) wear but there is...

Very lovely jacket. White label Vanson was pretty much (good) Brooks grade of jacket and I mean that as a good thing.

This particular Cafe racer style was so common during the 70's that it's impossible tell the manufacturer with absolute certainty without the label. But Lesco would be my guess as well as all the details are exactly the same, plus the jacket appears to be made from that specific leather only...

It's hard to describe how tough this jacket feels. I believe it's the stitching, somehow, but I don't know... All I know is that I've had brand new Vanson jackets that felt flimsy in comparison. And the leather is out of this world.

They've just doubled everything! Seems crazy but on the other hand, considering that the knock-offs have been going for roughly what LL costs now, this doesn't surprise me. No reason why LL shouldn't dictate the prices Addict is asking for their copies.
