I scooped it up. I don't like that they got rid of the epaulets, and there are no studs on the back, but for $50 shipped it could be a lot worse. Maybe if I dye it back to black I can get some sore of weird fake teacore effect over time.

I recently gots me one of these for around $90 bucks. Very nice jacket. Awesome at the price you got it. I like the design and it wears really well. The MW/Brent MC/Perfecto jacket is one of my favorite. I have two, and then the totally undervalued Cooper’s repro from the 80s or 90s.

Side note, I’ve found that Fidelity’s IR (I have one in HH and one in Steer again) may be the best pattern out of the vintage jackets I’ve run across. The steerhide version can be had for under $200, easy.

Wanted this for myself but it’s too small. Seller sent me pics of the measurements. 21.5” chest. Cool design though. Were it larger it would be a done deal.

Hedging a little bit on the ONE CROSS ZIP ONLY philosophy brother???????!!!!!! Don't back slide!!!!!!! You're cross zip sobriety is in jeopardy here!!!!!!!

In your defense, THIS cross zip DOES have a standing collar soooooo--- maybe we can say this is a different design and worthy of your interest.

We're ALL enablers here man!!!:cool:

LOL! The hive mind at play. Was my exact thought. Cafe collar=radically different design. So it’s OK!

Older Vanson Highwayman (model E). I’ve had around 12 of these but this one takes the cake. I’d go so far to say that this is my fav cross zip ever. Beats out Aero, Bates, Cal, Langlitz and Lost Worlds. Never had a cross zip I liked as much as this one. This is the one for me and rather than pursue a million more in this style, I’m done.

Man, I must say, I envy the fit (in a good way of course). I recently started my journey of quality leather jackets with a Schott 618, and just ordered today an Aero Leather FQHH (second hand) in their traditional motorcycle jacket (with some modifications), hoping to fit nearly as good as this. My 618 fits pretty good tho, just that it is shorter than this

U.S. Made Co. jackets are usually made from surprisingly remarkable hide. Actually much nicer than what listing photos would suggest. I'd rate it well above Schott or even most Vanson.

I thought it looked great! We’re it a 44” or maybe even a 42” I’d have snagged it for sure. Super nice seller too. Instantly shot me all the pics with a measuring tape.

These and the California Creations jackets always catch my eye.

Standing at time of this posting at $710 with only 8 bids and a mere...................... 67 (SIXTY-SEVEN) watchers, we only have.....GULP...... 5 days and 16 hours left................. This might be one with a huge final sales price and the Buyer shirks payment and just disappears................ Kinda has that feel to it at this point. Fun to watch nonetheless.......

No shame in tapping out on this one. This is for JMAX and Terry to fight it out!!!!!!!:eek::eek::eek:;)
