    Vanson Model B opinion

    No worries cobber. I was not offended personally. Merely making observations, as I believe some folks in these parts are very thin skinned. No offence taken or intended.

    Stagg of Australia leather jacket. Opinions please ?

    Well the jacket has arrived, lateish courtesy of the Christmas mail. Complete with "eau deMoth balls" but no mouldy/mildew odour. Lining has no holes or wear points, and the leather is all good. It is labelled a "size 9" (Australian jackets can be like that !), more likely a US XL. The two...

    That seems a bit rude to me ? Also "off topic" in respect to the most recent poster ?

    Vanson Model B opinion

    Use a zipper lubricant stick on the zipper. As soon as I get a "new to me" jacket it's almost the first thing I do. There are several options on ebay.

    Several beginner questions

    Simmons Bilt Nebraska could be a minimalist jacket. This model is black goat. Has 2 chest pockets as stock OEM but they are useful for mobile phones and keys etc. The makers are very approachable and good to deal with. This is "probably" my favourite jacket in my small collection.

    Stagg of Australia leather jacket. Opinions please ?

    No personal knowledge or experience of Jackson racing sorry. From what I gather they no longer trade , after moving production to Pakistan 10 years ago or more. Although i did find this I can no longer track down the makers. https://motociclo.com.au/product/jackson-gt-roadmaster-leather-coat/

    Stagg of Australia leather jacket. Opinions please ?

    They do come up from time to time on local Australian market sites but always in 36/38 Troops must have been "skinnier" in the 70's ya reckon ? ( we all were haha..) Often they are advertised as "boys leather jacket". Fairly often "'new/unissued" Next time I see one I will post the link up here.

    Stagg of Australia leather jacket. Opinions please ?

    Thanks folks for the replies. At $89 Australian dollars ($60 USD) delivered to my doorstep it's worth a punt. The maker, now apparently gone, did have a good local reputation since 1929. They were probably done in by "globalisation" and India/Asia manufacture. Here are 2 of their other...

    Stagg of Australia leather jacket. Opinions please ?

    This is an Australian made longer style motorcycle jacket. 2 way zipper and zipper sleeves so it is primarily a motorcycle jacket. The belt is "missing" and the jacket is from the 1970's. Not a lot of wear and the lining looks good. Now it's located in the Northern Tropics of Queensland and will...

    Jackets and t-shirt sleeves

    For that "bunching" reason I prefer long sleeve T's under a leather jacket. Either "genuine" HD dealer long sleeves OR Hanes Beefy T's (or equivalent)
