These jackets are heading up to the AU$2000 mark just saw on another thread that Eastman are raising their prices again in October

Yeah, and if you have to pay customs, delivery and GST on top it’s getting ridiculous for us Aussies to buy Eastmans.
Lucky I’m set for jackets now.

I hear ya fellow Aussies ! No more import purchases for me from now on !
Truth be told I probably don't "need no more" in any case haha...
If I ever make it in person to Aero or Simmons Bilt in Scotland well I won't be able to stop myself
That purchase will come back to Australia on my back of course , hand luggage in the overhead lockers etc etc..

50's? Montgomery Ward Biker Jacket
Short. Very short. I like the pocket layout on this style. I've never cared for the snap cigarette/ticket pocket.

Nice. Are those button cuffs? Is the interior quilted? Give a picture of the label?

Zip sleeves. The lining isn't original as far as I can tell, just ripped up polyester blend. No tag. But matches another jacket labeled Montgomery Ward. I found these photos:
Then here is mine:
Even has the snaps for the missing mouton collar. Side zips. Half Belt. No snap straps on sleeve ends like the other one though.

Corky that whole jacket just screams 'original cool' to me, it has the look of something the likes of James Dean would have worn. It sure has a load of great character.

I've already had a rant about it around here somewhere. nothing like screwing over the Australian consumer yet again, as if fuel and electricity scams, the banks and even just paying for a bloody ticket to a show don't have enough excess charges on them as it is.

That's a knockout Fonzie! I think Thedi makes the best shawl collared jackets of all.
Cheers, I think so too, and the leather he uses is fantastic. Truly something special.
Thanks Seb!

Yeah I kinda regret selling my Thedi Padded Cafe Racer but then again, I have too many of them even after selling it and another one...I could be tempted by something a little different though, maybe in one of his washed browns...
