Hi everybody,
I came upon this leather jacket from my uncle. He'd bought it sometime in the 1990s in Japan. As you can see it has the label of Screamin Eagle from Harley Davidson, size 40. The snap tabs dont have any kind of identifiable marks and is fitted with YKK zippers. It weighs around 2 kg and the leather is quite tough and thick.
My main concern is that it squeaks quite a bit and so upon reading, it gives me the impression that it might be steerhide. I couldnt really find any info on this jacket nor have I seen anything similar on the internet.
The address written on the label is: 3700 W Juneau Ave Milwaukee, WI 53201, USA. This might help some of you because the current postal code is 53208.
All in all what I'd like to know is, what leather was the jacket made of, how do I remove the squeaking (dont want to use talcum powder) and how much would something like this go in the market for?
Thank you all.
PS: HoosierDaddy's Vanson Enfield is the closest that comes to the looks of it.
