Latest consensus seem to be it's a Beau Breed . . . . Thanks for your input, much appreciated

Wow, thanks. I'm pretty broad across the chest and shoulders and some jackets make me look to wide but this seems a good fit -- flattering, one might almost say. I shall check out the movie! Thanks again

Ah, yes, this is very similar: https://vintagehaberdashers.com/2014/10/06/1960s-1970s-beau-breed-cafe-racer-leather-jacket/ Thanks!

Thanks! That does look very similar. Are they any good?

Thanks. A bit of looking around suggests it's a Fidelity. Much appreciated

I've got teenage daughters and they love all that nonsense. Oooh glitter and a handmade card! No thanks.

Hahaha! Like a glove. I got it on ebay (.co.uk) from a seller I've used before. He has some nice stuff and hasn't disappointed me yet. Not one of those "friendly" etsy-ish sellers who send a lot of messages and extra stuff, but who cares? It's a bloke's leather jacket not a sparkly unicorn...

Hello, About 20 years ago I bought a t-shirt in a charity shop in Norway. The inner label has long since come off (I think it was in Danish and had the Filson-esque motto "Trusted for generations") but the tag on the breast pocket is still affixed. (See photo; the logo is basically a kind of...

Hello All Newish member here with a question: zip pulls -- does anyone here customise their jackets (esp. classic leather) or replace missing zipper pullers with vintage, novelty, quirky pullers? I only ask as I remember seeing on this very forum a very cool miniature flick-knife /...

Well, I gave the jacket the lightest smearing of Pecards and am very very pleased with the result: I won't be adding any more but it feels a little more supple and soft and lot more weatherproof. I think that because it had used on a bike it had maybe dried out a bit more than usual for a 4...

I think Barbour use large heated tables to re-wax jackets so everything is kept warm and smooth.

Thanks everyone, Pecards now applied in front of a blazing woodburning stove; so far so good: the leather feels nicely waxy but not full-fat greasy. Might apply more in a couple of days but think I've done enough. Very happy with the jacket and with the results of my efforts.
