Anyone ever hear of them? They used to be out of Yuba City CA. I picked up a CHP jacket and that is the only mfg tag and its on the zip out liner. It has triple stamped brass Talon zippers and plaid pocket linings. Other than the tag on the zip out there is a tag in the right hand warmer pocket...

Great jacket! If I could only find one in a size 46 modern / 48 vintage... :cry:

Hey,,,, I resemble that remark LOL.... Sad to say you are probably correct. That is really hard on the eyes.

Does anyone know who makes the Legendary USA Enforcer jackets for Legendary. I know that Schott makes some of their line but not that model. All Legendary would tell me was it is a very small company in southern FL. Thanks, AJ

I found another 2 star Ward/Winward on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0328009322 The main Zipper, tag (compared to the remnent) and the color of the stiching on the leather is different than mine. So far the closest match is the first one Mickey found and that seller states...

So what are the best practices for cleaning heavily soiled nylon linings in leather jackets? Any tips or tricks, warnings or horror stories you would care to share?

GWF- WOW! That sure does look like it. Wish the pictures were larger so I could see the tag but that looks like a match. The only difference I can see is that one has one star on the epaulets and mine clearly had two. I wonder did this signify the difference between the cowhide/steer...

Mickey- Thanks! Good find! Yes that does appear to be the the same model and manufacturer. The one I have is in a bit better condition and a bit larger but even the condition and appearance of the tag remnant are the same. Now if I can find some pictures of a Ward's jacket to compare.... :?

Thanks David- As a matter of fact I did. Number 33 on the list is actually what made me think maybe Penny's but there are some differences there too.

GWF- Thanks! I am inclined to agree with you at this point (that or maybe Penny’s). I am having some trouble finding more images to compare this to other than in Rin Tanaka's book but I would say it matches those more closely then anything else I have seen. The Jacket was delivered this...

Hey Folks, Looking for a little help with the ID on this one. I'm thinking Sears/Oakbrook/Hercules ??? It caught my eye on Ebay. Something about it made me want it. Not even sure it will fit but now I am trying to ID it while I wait for the post man. Thanks, AJ

Tell me about it. I normally where a 48. Took me a lot of hit and miss to find this one. It fits snug but that is actually how an MC jacket should fit. If (God forbid) you go down on your bike, you don’t want to be wearing something baggy that will make you roll and bust your bones or strip...

Here you go.

Nice jackets guys! Harlock- That one is a keeper for sure. I have become a huge HH fan and the CHP style is my personal fav. This fall I have been getting a lot of use out of my 50's Star HH CHP.

Anyone here know what the isignia on these snaps stand for? Thanks, AJ
