Nice selection Vic. I especially like the first and the last pics, who are they by?

I believe he first one is by The Few.

I honestly have no idea who makes the last one. I just stumbled upon the photo a while back and really liked it.

Cheers Vic. They've both got a lovely look to them. Wouldn't be surprised if the last was a Japanese maker too, they just seem to nail this style so well.

 

[Vic]

Agreed.

Vic, That russet/reddiish jacket (3rd one from the top) certainly is a different looking hide, super large grain. Do you know what kind of hide it is? Moose?
Interesting colour too.

 

[Vic]

Yes, it's American Bison. LW was offering for a while. It's really cool. Here's a pick of the back:

The last one is by Himel Brothers Leather Co. The man behind that company is David Himel who posts on here as Himelator. Here's a link to this jacket on his website. It's a work of art with one of the most beautiful designed backs I've ever seen.

Here's my new D-Pocket...

It's a copy of the Trojan Leather Sportswear "Champion" Jacket.
Made by Legendary USA in 4oz horse hide.
It's near new and still has it's belt and detachable mouton collar.

Hands down, the HD Cycle Champ. I love 'dem squared off pockets. I own an old Canadian cycle champ copy, and it is a great jacket. All the pockets are very functional; great design.

Gotta love those H-D Cycle Champs.

Never seen an original one in brown, only repros. Guess most buyers stuck with black?

Very nice! Any fit pics?

 

[deluxestyling]

Sorry to say no fit pics.

It's too big! I'm really disappointed. Got it today and as much as I would like to pretend I know it's just that bit too bulky.

It's up for grabs if anyone is interested. Not sure if this is with the rules here to offer items for sale as I know we have a classified section. I'll delete this post immediately if it is.

Fellow loungers... It's now up on the classifieds here http://www.thefedoralounge.com/show...ket-Horsehide-Leather-Jacket-for-sale-46-L-XL

 

[himelator]

definitely one of my favs

Should anyone be interested, and have the ability to visit, there's a (probably) early 50s black D-pocket jacket in the Great Marlborough Street branch of Beyond retro in London. It's up on the wall, so it's likely to be appropriately priced, unfortunately. Looks to be quite a large size, maybe up to 44, though I didn't have time to have a good look at it; it was too far away (high up on the wall) to be able to read the label.

A cheap recent pickup. Newer. No label, and, oddly, all the snaps bear the great seal of the state of Oklahoma.
