Sun Surf 2011 - Star of Hollywood

Some of the most highly sought after shirts of the 1950's were the wild prints and bold colors of the "Star of Hollywood" brand. Featuring such crazy subject matters as tarantulas and Alfred E. Newman, the originals are elusive and fetch sky high prices. Sun Surf has added severals shirts from the original Star of Hollywood line to their 2011 offerings. More information available HERE!

1930's Horsehide Harley-Davidson Riders Jacket

Rare in any condition, this one is simply incredible and it's no surprise this recent auction ended at an even $5,200! According the auction listing the original owner was killed in the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. His mother held on to it for many years and it has been in storage since then. I haven't had a chance to look, but I'll bet this is in Rin Tanka's "Harley-Davidson Book of Fashions 1910's - 1930's". I'm sure the winner was thrilled to get this jacket!

Heller's Cafe - Warehouse Grizzly Jacket

I was lucky enough to see this one in person at Inspiration L.A. 2011 in February. Like everything else Heller's does, this early style jacket is spectacular in every sense of the word. Available at Blue in Green (size 38 only), it's an early version that an original was being offered for at $20K. I guess 10% at $2K is fair then!
