Quick question: I'm looking to replace the leather cruiser jacket that I've been wearing at work for the last Erumph humph years. It has nothing to do with the fact that I can't breathe anymore when I zipper it, but it's time for a new one.
So my question is this: I've gone over my old one with a fine toothed comb and can't find any info on who manufactured this coat/jacket. The local PD supply store sells one similar ,but different, if you know what I mean.
My old one is the "Boston PD" style with the two breast pockets with snap down flaps and two slash pockets with zippers. It has an inside pocket on the left inner liner. The liner is quilted and sewn in. There are slits on either side of the hem that allow access to the duty belt . It has knitted cuffs hidden inside the sleeves. The only tag is up at the collar and says "this fine leather garment blah, blah, blah. cleaning".
Are you Boston guys still wearing this jacket? I remember just about all of you did, but I haven't been up to the city in a long time. I gotta get away from this computer.
The problem with the ones my local store sell is that they all have zip out liners and seem to be a lot bulkier than my old one. I have enough trouble with bulk on my own without any help from my jacket.
Anybody recognize what I'm trying to describe? I bought my old one waaay back around 1990 and haven't a clue where I got it. How much do they cost now?
