          The fit is great for me, so like a normal L-XL.

          I like the Vanson Ike but I might put it up on eBay to fund getting a Vanson City Jacket. I only paid $40 for the Vanson. I don't mind putting stuff up on eBay that I like at higher prices, if someone bites, cool, if not I just keep it.

                Found some West German Jackboots at an Army Surplus store. Need to be resoled, so we'll see if I hang on to them or not.

                  I don't know the resale for that jacket urb.  You would need the right buyer.        If it was my size I would have taken it.

                    I went ahead and bought it. The lining is in mint condition. I'll put it on ebay for a ridiculous price and wear it in the meantime. It was the most expensive thing in the vintage store in Toronto. The women said that many people commented on that jacket and it was the first time they had seen a Hercules jacket in real life.

                      Large size Hercules should be easy to sell.

                      Try Fedora Lounge to sell it…or at least put a note there..

                          I'm at the GFs house so the pics are shit. I will def get better ones up, just to document this beast.

                          (tag reads) "Hercules Front Quarter Horsehide"
                          40s - Half Belt(?) Jacket with Red Quilt lining.
                          I'm assuming it came with a belt but it's missing.

                          Also got this other amazing looking jacket

                          (Tag reads): "California Creations Leather" Made in USA sz44
                          Got it for $50 in Toronto
                          Never heard of the name but it's got to be 30+ years old. It's so fucking heavy and tough. Super thick quilt lining. Not like some shitty Wilson Leathers jacket.

                                    Those look great.

                                        Well, I'm sure I'll run across some one day. Who knows, maybe I'll go for some IH ones.

                                        I don't know what it is but here in Toronto there are tons of Carter and Oshkosh shit. I'm bound to find a pair I like, just don't want a super worn pair, I want more of a dead stock condition. Denim, duck, or hickory I don't care.

                                        edit: found some, might get them

                                            Will do. Going to hit up the Thrift strip in Toronto one last time before I leave tomorrow night. I'll look around.
