    Yeah the more I look it does look like the left arm especially is heading there. The right is okay. But I will take the advice and soak it. I've never had one quite as beat up as this, I have a schott from sometime in the sixties but its not as much of a thick finish as this one, probably better...

    There isn't a lot of information on Fidelity, mostly bits and pieces here and there. This one I have feels about the same as some schotts I have from that time.

    That looks exactly like the missing tags I have, offset one on the bottom and all. Thanks. That settles it definetely.

    It didn't show as well in the photos when I bought it myself, and I was actually extremely happy when I took it out. I like the feel of my heavier jackets, but I live in Georgia, right below Atlanta. It just doesn't get that cold until December through February, this one feels about the same as...

    Yeah I thought that was the name I remembered from that post. I can't spout off knowledge about a lot of these jackets in grand detail at all, but I'm slowly learning. Now 69 Camaros, I can tell you all day about, grew up with several of them at any given time, it's my dads hobby and truly his...

    It was taken care of pretty well too, had an iron on patch in the back that was taken off at some point that left the outline, but other than that and a few seams coming out it was in great shape.

    This is a photo of another fidelity jacket with that generic label they put on some of their jackets, the latching collar chain, and the same green liner. The leftover broken stitches on mine appear to be two separate boxes right above one another and longer in length than the fidelity one...

    Weird. It shows them on mine even when I'm not logged in. Are they still not showing? I've used Direct links from imageshack, which I've used on team camaro forums for years.

    I am completely new to posting on your forums. I must admit in the past years I have read many of them as I have grown deeper into collecting leather jackets. I bought a lamb skin jacket 6 or 7 years ago when I was looking for a new winter coat (I know lamb skin sucks now). But after I wore it a...
