Basic black jacket from Johnson Leathers. Sent me an offer for $175 but it's too small for me.

The 25 inch back makes it more wearable then the 22" Herc MC jacket from the 50s with 22 pit to pits

Taubers. Pretty rare and still the nicest looking leather on all of the vintage market.

If your crazy so am I. I just measured mine at 18 shoulders/20 pit, so I'm thinking about it too. The price will have to come way down for me.

I have yet to see one of the early Hercules with this black label and odd horsehide tag. I will put it in the Sears MC history.

I knew it would catch your eye. Beautiful piece of history. The black label is the earliest right? Or close to it. Incredible jacket regardless.

I will post more details in the Sears Mc thread. Don't want to clog this thread up. A very different jacket.

yeah, that is real nice and another that would fit perfectly. For a while I was thinking about getting an Aero Indian Ranger. If this one was closer in price, I'd easily buy that instead of a new Aero. But I think I'm good with cross zips for a while. I gave my Schott 519 a wash yesterday because it felt a little big. And I absolutely love how it transformed after a day in the sun about 30 minutes in the dryer. The shiny finish came off and grain popped x10. I got a little wave in the zipper line which I can live with and I think I know a trick or two to flatten it out. But it looks almost exactly like that Montgomery Ward posted earlier (except 1 star instead of 2)

Pricey but it actually looks really good and seems to be made from heavy hide.
