I walked into a VFW…and it was stocked with Bandidos. I was committed so didn’t do an about face. One quick beer and good conversation…and I quietly sauntered on out. Right when I thought questions were about to be asked. I’d miss you guys. Lol. Another story for my memoirs to-be. Some serious menfolk to be respected for sure.

At another joint and holding fort with a supporting club. Gotta watch where I go I guess. I love Texas.

VFW's gotta be neutral ground. I mean, you're all veterans.

Nice to see I wasn't alone thinking this was a pretty interesting jacket. Went for $471+shipping-tax. I went up there, but had a feeling I wasn't going to get it. It would not fit me, but would have fit my collection: Goatskin-California Sportswear.

I wrote for pictures today to confirm and show the sleeve zipper placement. I received a prompt reply, but I am still left confused by the pictures. The seller said it looks original, so I pushed.

The jacket is mid 40s. Is this a gentleman's motorcycle jacket? It was not that long, the zipper was short.

I have a Goatskin Californain with zip sleeves earlier that this one, but still curious about this jacket.

Here are the pics.

what a steal. wow. I think I'm good in this department, but it's tempting. What is it with the paint stains too on these kinds of jackets LOL. I swear, about half my Cals had various paint stains. I guess it's law enforcement, bikers, and painters who rock this style.

There was a time leather jackets were worn while working not just to collect or worn for style

Hi Alan, I'm the lucky recipient of this one and just wondered if you could tell me more about the leather?
Thanks

The M-200 is what we call a life after bike jacket it's built for riding but can be worn anywhere.
It was made in a 3.5oz. naked cowhide. Based on the patina of the jacket I guess it must be around 25 years old.
