    Hercules Leather Co (Tony) Sport Jacket Russet, M

    I don't think I have ever been so conflicted about selling a jacket like in this case. An OG from Tony's short-lived company which he started on TFL and which became victim of Covid shutdowns in 2020, made out of beautiful russet steerhide with rich pull-up and amazing hand. Look up his thread...

    Cool leather jacket blog post

    A lot of blog posts on leather jackets are nonsense, but this one is comprehensive, and you can see that the guy did his homework and put some thought into it. Reminds me of the path @dudewuttheheck went to get to true vintage. I think it is worth a read (unnecessary and childish profanity in...

    FS: Taubers CHP cross-zip 38

    The sale continues. Up for sale is this awesome, small Taubers CHP. I will say it up front - this is a better jacket than a few Californian x-zips I have handled. More substantial leather, almost like a Cal. Yet soft. This is a small jacket, vintage size 38 in my estimation. I weigh 142 lbs and...

    Monarch 1950s HWM style jacket, S

    Selling my Monarch due to moving to South Florida. Color is dark chocolate brown, almost black. Heavy naked cow. No label, but a TFL consensus was that it is indeed a Monarch, could be the original Highwayman. #10 Talon paperclip zipper, original. Size is small, I am 5-8, 142# and it is a...

    Thumbnail pictures in posts

    Is anyone else annoyed when ppl post thumbnail pictures in posts? They are too small when viewed as thumbnails and too big when clicked on. I think they suck. What does the Lounge think? Am I off base here?

    Golden Bear 1992 suede trucker - Maverick

    The Golden Bear suede trucker came in, in wonderful, heavy, rust suede. Barely used. The tag inside pocket says Maverick, mfg Sept 15, 1992. Size Small. The fit is overall good. I can live with the shoulder width being on the wide side for me (19-in), but I probably cannot live with the...

    Drizabone waxed canvas/oilcloth three-quarters city coat Medium, espresso

    Bought on a trip to Australia some years ago and worn only a handful of times. NYC area is not nearly rainy enough to justify this type of coat for me. This is a "smart", city model of Drizabone, designed for urban wear, not for horse riding, lol. Zipper and button closures. Nice oilcloth coat...

    Westwinds Suede Trucker, M

    Lightweight suede trucker from Westwinds, likely 70s/80s, tagged 38 but bigger, too big for me. Good shape. Nice summer jacket. Color is somewhere in between the outdoor and indoor pics - tough to capture that beige, depends on the light. S2S - 19 P2P - 22.5 Sleeve - 24 Hem - 19 Length - 23...

    Kit Karson by Wolf 1950s Horsehide Jacket, Crown Zipper, Large

    Selling this Kit as it turns out to be much too large for me. Nice jacket, wool lining, Crown main zip is flawless. Chest pocket zippers missing some teeth, but still zip. Throat latch. No faults with the leather, wool lining worn a bit at the neck and on the bottom, as expected with a 1950s...

    Sweet little Taubers CHP - but is it too small?

    I got this 60/70s Taubers CHP for a song (due to size, probably), on the outside chance that it'd fit. No size label, but it is probably a vintage 38. It fits, but barely. Zipped up it is very tight with laces wide open. Too tight, in fact, unless I lose 7-10 lbs. Unzipped it's okay. Shoulder...

    Uncool, dorky things you won't be caught dead in

    Just an idea for a fun thread where stylish folks can list what they think are super-uncool things they would never wear (with their jackets or otherwise, regardless of circumstances). I will start with two: 1. A bucket hat 2. A fanny pack
