That's a great idea, I never thought about taking parts from other jackets & making a brand new jacket. Is there a program that allows you to mix & match jacket parts to see what it would look like?
The coat you described, is it just a idea you had or is it a jacket you had built? I'd love to...
Well I've tried searching using '"Cheyenne" and it didn't work well. I mostly got leather jackets that have the leather strings hanging off the sleeve, like a American Indian type jacket.
I looked at Lost Worlds and they have something similar to what I'm looking for called a "Downtown Car...
Peacoat,
By god I think that's it exactly as far as I can tell. Thanks. Some how I missed that one. I'll try searching for a '"Cheyenne" and see how that goes. Thanks
That's funny, because thats exactly what I thought too. I looked on their site first, but nothing fit exactly. I ran into the same problem, with the jackets having some of the feature, but usually missing on the 3 piece back design without a belt, or the exterior pocket configuration didn't...
I found this jacket of Ebay and loved it. If I was going to build a Car Coat type leather jacket, this jacket is how I would design it, except I would use buttons versus a zipper. I wanted to buy this jacket, but atlas it was 1 or 2 sizes too small.
It got me to thinking, I'd like to search...
Thanks Guy,

Thanks
Jason
I'm open to the idea of owning a civilian version of the B-3, B-6, or D-1(I have a great pic of my grandfather standing in a D-1), with the modern convenience of added hand warmer pockets. I'm really just going for the over all look of the shearling bomber jacket. I realize at my price point, a...
I thought of another question, and since I have to get 15 posts before I have PM ability I figured I'd just throw this one out there. What's the best way to maintain leather and is it ok for leather to get wet?
Jason
Thanks for the input. I did think of one other thing, sizing. Are shearling bombing jackets sized by your chest size, or do you need to go up 1 or 2 sizes to account for the volume of the wool?
Bassman,
I went and got remeasured for jacket size just to make sure I was a 40s (it's been a few years since I bought a suit jacket). Turns out I'm actually a 42s. From your measurement of 24 x 2, being 48, then taking away half a inch on both sides for room allowance of the wool (I'm just...
