    Awhile back I became caretaker of these two early club jackets. They belonged to a friend/customer who passed. Ron was one of the early members of the LA Roadsters.
    Found a little info on the Toucans but since The Rambling Rods didn't have a city it's a little harder to research. Any info is appreciated. 20180409_184949.jpg 20180409_184942.jpg

  2. Don't know much about the Toucans, but their plaque was painted on the hillside with a bunch of others

    Here's one I have had hanging in my garage for a while. I haven't been able to find anyone who remembers the club, but if I had to reckon, I'd say this was from the early '60s...

    I have a few different old (defunct) club plaques from my hometown, and wondered if any companies still sewed jackets like these so I could have one made to match a plaque. Anybody know of a current company?

    Alchemy,
    Check with a sewing supplies or sewing machine center and ask if they know of anyone or anywhere you could have a one-off emblem made by someone with an embroidering machine. Should be easy to buy a period style jacket and have the emblem sewed on it.
