Brand Catalogs

[Biff42]

Hi FL, is there a specific thread for photos of brochures/marketing materials from various jacket makers? I'm going to purchase a brochure from an obscure leather jacket maker I found on ebay and wanted to add it to FL for reference. It's 18 pages so will require several pics.

Thanks, I'll upload it to my media and share it here and in a related thread once I get it. It's a booklet from Herm's Leathertogs based out of Easton Pa and then Daytona Beach. Being a native Pennsylvanian, I'm hunting for one of their jackets and came across the brochure.

Herm's Leather Tog 1969 Catalog

I share you interest in catalogs, brochures, etc. I also have the catalog you are calling 1980. How did you arrive at that date? I can find no dates in mine.

I missed out on a Herms Cafe racer a couple of times. It may have been too small.

He had quite a catalog. Do you know what happened to Herm?

Paper goods associated with leather are just don't show up. I've got a few and keep looking. I like them as much as the leather jackets.

Hey Terry! The brochure "1980" was sold as such, but like you, I didn't see an actual date.

Herm died in 2006 and I posted on another thread that his house fell into disrepair and was featured on an episode of American Pickers (with his son) in 2011 (see season 4 episode 2 which can also be purchased on Youtube). I'd love to see any brochures you'd like to share.

That said, I'm having Johnson Leathers do a replica Herm's CR as we speak. I'll post it when I get it.
