Starting a new thread as discussed to highlight more "traditional" leather jackets. Aero, Himel, Real McCoy, Brimaco, Eastman, Lewis Leathers, Golden Bear, Schott, Good Wear, Lost Worlds, Langlitz, RRL and Vanson are all examples of companies that have been producing leather jackets for decades or construct high quality reproductions of military, moto and traditional designs.
This will give us a thread to post both originals and reproductions, as well as discuss how those designs have evolved into more modern fashion leathers.
I'll start us off with a few jackets that I own, one made in the late 40s and two others that are still made to the same design as in 1947 and 1948.
Langlitz Goatskin Cascade, 2009, design unchanged from 1948
Langlitz Cowhide Columbia, 1982, design unchanged from 1947
Sears Hercules in Horsehide, circa 1948
