In Our Bundles This Week: A 1940s-1950s Steerhide Jacket

They just don't make them like this anymore. It's always a real joy to find one of these since we grade about 1,600,00lbs for each pre 50s jacket we find. Thick steerhide leather, conmar zips, flannel lining and a label still intact! This is a typical jacket of the time, sharing design clues with jackets like the Buco J23. Unfortunately, the label is too obscured for me to be able to tell the maker. I'd love to learn more about this, please leave a comment if you have any idea who the maker could have been.

As always, here's the label for your viewing pleasure (good luck reading it!):

In Our Bundles This Week: Schott, Belstaff, Hein Gericke and Brooks Jackets

Whether you're a fan of cafe racers, classic motorcycle jackets or waxed jackets, we've got it all. The leather jacket's association with motorcycle culture and Americana as a whole is perhaps stronger than any other peice of clothing. With the changing needs of consumers, riding gear moved away from the longer car coat style and towards the shorter cropped styles seen in flight jackets. We regularly handle jackets from the 50s-80s in a countless number of styles.

1938 Champion Running Man Princeton Crew T-shirt

I heard about this from our friends at Hermosa Vintage. It's a phenomenally rare t-shirt (I've never physically touched pre-50s Champion) with provenence that dates it to it's original owner. The seller got almost $800 for the shirt, which isn't a record by any means, but it is an appropriate figure given the rarity and provenance of the item.

The write up by Hermosa does it better justice than I can, so click here to read all about it.

Visit Us!: You Pick, We Ship!


As an alternative to selling pre-sorted vintage by the bale we also entertain factory visits. You're welcome to visit our plant, we'll set aside a month's production for you and ship only what you select yourself. Our minimum is $1000 and the price/lb includes shipping to New York City.

We only sell to one customer per month, and never ship pre-sorted bales the the same month as a factory visit.
