As started in another thread....

Yes sir they do... the old Brooks name went out of biz about 3-4 years ago... the ones that were made in D-town for like ever! Then another guy bought them out who's in with Unik (unique but not spelled that way)... anyway, they (Brooks) are now being made in New Jersey at or in the same location as where Unik use to make their leather before shipping them over to pakistan!

It is also where they run the distibution for Unik.

Anyway, they are a bit hard to get ahold of but with the proper search I have found a few places around here with them...

5 year warrenty and one of, if not the oldest name in quality USA naked leather!

As I said in the other thread.

Do they still make those.
The did have a very slick one with out all the normal zippers and buckles that I liked.

The Local HD store use to keep them in stock but, not any more.

Unfortuantely they don't have a website currently...

They make alot of nice jackets with black colored zippers and buckles...

The one that I wanted looked sporty. Nothing but two zipper pockets, no belt and no collar or sport collar.

Were the 2 zippers on your chest?

If so I believe that is the Road Warrier... don't remember the model # but I think that is the name.

Yep, one on each side.
I believed they doubled as vents. I wanted one. They didn't have any to fit me. Said it was discontinued and couldn't get more. I really wanted it and looked many place for the Brand. That's the only reason I remembered. This was all about three years ago.

Yep... I tried that one on. What I didn't like is that it didn't have front side pockets or actual normal vents. I need pockets and not just on my chest... but if that's not your issue it was a typical awesome brooks leather.

Gas, if you are hanging with chopper crowd, Vanson only way to go :dthumb:

Vanson is a good way to go. You won't find me knocking them at all. However, Brooks carries a much larger following...much larger! Brooks is classic old school!
