    Help Identify age and make of this Shearling jacket

    Hello, I just purchased this jacket on eBay. Can anyone help me ID make and age? Very high quality coat, I think. I expected to see Sawyer of Napa label. I am unable to make out the writing on inside pocket label except size 42. Thanks for your help.

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    I looked at many Motorcycle boots including Dehner and All American. Disappointed that some are using non-leather shafts! I ended up with this pair of vintage Made in England ( California Police). Very heavy duty boots. Not sure if anyone is familiar with this boot? Very thick leather sole...

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    I just purchased a pair of used East German officer boots, very similar to ones in this photo. Very soft leather! OK fit. Had to add a rubber sole since I ride MC. This same style was made by the Soviets and other eastern block countries. These are from the 1960s or prior. All leather. I...

    I find this video amazing. The skill, the construction of vintage leather boots.

    NYPD A.Mincieli NY. long leather coat

    Thanks.. I love the classic leather look. I noticed many PD are going with synthetic material for obvious reasons. I recently was in Dallas, TX I noticed their mounted PD had short leather jackets.

    Yes, I have seen this jacket. Same maker. You are correct 70's to 80's I noticed lapels has different style. Jacket on lady NYPD looks horsehide. Not sure if my jacket and one you posted are?

    NYPD A.Mincieli NY. long leather coat

    I think this coat dates back to 1950-1970? The guy I purchased from found in California flea market! Paid $350. 9 lbs.

    Thanks for the mounted NYPD photos. Very nice. I would say this coat was a service coat at one time. See photos I posted. It looks like it had a Highway Patrol patch ( wheel and arrow).

    I tried to find any photos of PD wearing this type of long coat. There is a shorter version worn today by NYPD and NJPD. See photos

    NYPD A.Mincieli NY. long leather coat

    Thanks for the info. The pockets are real with thick canvas like fabric. The leather looks like horsehide, but not 100% sure. I ride a motorcycle and this coat is a cold wind beater. I have other jackets that are shorter. This coat covers my thighs which makes a big difference.

    NYPD A.Mincieli NY. long leather coat

    I just acquired vintage leather coat made by A.Mincieli NY. Very well made coat. My question is: Anyone seen this type of coat before? An ex-NYPD wrote see photo please, stating it is from early 80's! I thought this coat goes back to the 60's since the buttons are from that era. Thanks for your...
