I don’t know what you’re talking about. No spammers to be seen here.

Well done Mr. mod !

Out of interest, how old does a civilian jacket need to be to be classed as vintage?

 

[mulceber]

Opinions differ. I tend to treat 1969 as the cutoff, but that's just me.

Wow, I wasn't expecting that far back.. I won't post any 30y old 'youngsters' then.

 

[mulceber]

Everyone has their own definition. If you think it’s old and cool looking, have at it.

Here's one I have--a late 1960's Excelled "Cafe" jacket. I think this was a $45 thrift store special. It was heavily used as intended, has burn marks in the leather and liner (hot engines and exhausts, and campfires?), and required some repair work to the liner. I can just imagine the stories that were made wearing it and the stories it could tell.

I have never been a fan of Excelled or Schott quality jackets, but there was something about this one. It's a fairly well made jacket aside from the questionable 4 stitches per inch stitching in several areas. It fit perfectly, had character, and is one of the warmest jackets I have since it is quilted lined. I liked it so much, I found a second one on eBay, albeit probably mid-70's manufactured, with a little bit thinner leather, but nearly unworn.

When I ride, it is either this jacket or the old Vanson flat track racing shirt, of which I don't even think they make anymore as a standard item.

Hi. I just bought this Excelled Moto Jacket
