Awesome jacket! Awesome fit! One more to add to my ever-growing wish list!
I have the Buco Rider version of LW's CR as well as the Schott 141, and I can see how the Easy Ryder is similar to the 141, but weight & feel is pretty different - I wear my 141 when I want a less heavy, softer CR. I...
The Vanson Chopper is a kickass moto jacket. Mine's a size Medium, I'm 5'10" tall, weigh around 180 lbs, chest between 40 & 42 and shoulder between 18-19". I ordered mine from Thurston Bros so it has the thinner black cotton lining and not the red quilted lining. It fits me well with just enough...
Man, I'm also gonna jump onboard SJC now. After the fiasco of Lawless Denim (several pairs of pants & jackets unaccounted for), and now Maple Motorcycle Jeans declaring insolvency in between my order, gonna take a jaundiced view of any new online denim/ apparel company going forward. Looks like...
Yup, I regularly ride wearing my CR-type jackets. If I'm not wearing my armoured CR-style leather jackets (above-mentioned Vansons, Revit, Segura, etc.) then I'll usually wear my Knox or Bohn armoured shirts underneath my LW Buco Rider, Vanson Enfield, Vanson Chopper, Schott 141, etc. Done...
I have a customised version of the Vanson AR3. Ordered it last Summer as soon as I heard about it. Vanson had it featured on the front page of their site for a little bit, then they took it down and never featured it in any other page. It's pretty much the Model A with a zipper down the centre...
I've seen quite a few type 3 (Levi's trucker) style jackets in corduroy, many with pile/fleece lining. Come Fall season, the usual suspects should offer some version - Levi's, Gap, Jcrew, etc ...
ProteinNerd, this jacket looks fantastic. Eagerly awaiting more pics. And as for wearing for riding, you might perhaps also consider an armoured undershirt - I have one from Knox (bought from Insurrection/Thurston Bros) and another from Bohn Armor. They're light, close-fitting & very comfortable...
I have the super-thick & heavy version of the Dehen 1920 zip-neck motorcycle sweater, black-grey with no lettering, and boy! it exudes quality! Will definitely last many many seasons of wear. Forgot how much I paid for it but picked it up at an online sale some years ago. Thankfully I had tried...
Tommer45, love the story and love the brown color you ended up with. That original brown seems very similar to the brown that Lost Worlds uses - not a big fan of that color. Also love how your jacket is such a secret celebrity! When I eventually order from Langlitz, it'll probably be a version...
SchottNYC has a nice store in Soho. Same street they're on has some pretty neat stores - vintage stuff to shops selling Wolverine boots, Left Field NYC denim, etc.
For denim also check out Brooklyn Denim Co. in the hipster haven of Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Decent-sized store, bunch of brands...
Wil try & get something up. It's pretty similar to your Easy Ryder, difference probably being chest pocket and throat-latch-thingy.
Hope attached pic comes thru - taken last year, riding in Bhutan.
Good to hear you got the issue sorted out. Union Garage are good folks. I bought my LW Buco Rider, as well as a bunch of moto stuff from them these past years. My LW has been giving me good service, worn it on several multi-day moto trips (with Bohn and Knox armored undershirts underneath), also...
New jacket looks good. Like some mentioned already, perhaps the fact it's brand new vs. the older one is contributing to the difference in fit/length? Stuff like this usually starts looking better after you wear them for a bit. Also, methinks you might wanna up your denim pants game to go along...
