    "The Grizzly"

    * Matty is correct-Aero will do one for you...not sure how much extra it would cost though. I seriously thought about it, but it doesn't really get cold enough here in Vancouver to justify it, so I just ordered the hide-on-hair one with a regular collar and a few custom touches (collar latch...

    "The Grizzly"

    The Lost Worlds grizzly is damn nice, but considerably more pricey than the Aero ($850 on ebay). Any thoughts out there on a comparison between the two?

    Early Half Belt Motorcycle Jacket Won on eBay

    The "Horsehide" logo was used from the 20s to the late 40s...D-pocket design went from the 40s into the mid-50s. Knowing the zipper make/style would help nail it (if it hasn't been replaced).

    Early Half Belt Motorcycle Jacket Won on eBay

    Nice D-pocket jkt! It's from the 1940s, maybe early 50s. What size is it?

    Rolled up jean jacket cuffs-yea or nay?

    I've washed the jkt twice to see if the sleeves would shrink a bit and didn't have much luck. Still measuring 27"(who has arms that long?)...I just need 25".

    Rolled up jean jacket cuffs-yea or nay?

    Kind of a dumb question...but I just got an XL Levis 506XX denim jacket off that auction site and the sleeves are too long-27"! I've washed it but it didn't help much, so I'm wondering how it'd look with the sleeves rolled up (actually just folded over one time). I do it with vintage shirts, but...

    The first one is long gone, I'm afraid. Sold it to a British collector a few years ago.

    Ricky Jackets

    Is that right, Matt? Small world, LOL. Well, the high end gab jackets do change hands among collectors every now & then. I have had a lot more, but don't have digital pics of them, unfortunately.

    Ricky Jackets

    Well, like anything old, rarity is a big factor. In this case, the printed gab jackets (like the ones above) are very desirable because they reflect the 50s rock & roll era, which some of us are trying to keep alive in some way. Gab jkts in large sizes and in pink & black are particularly rare...

    Nice gab jacket. I had a similar one in chocolate brown with a white and yellow cross-hatch print. I've been collecting gabardine jackets for a long time...have had them in every print...thunderbird, argyle, two-tone, atomic, etc. I'm down to just two at the moment. Did you get this one off...
