    Vintage Photos of Leather Jackets

    Here's a group of U.S. Navy Chiefs in WWII and one is wearing a civilian leather jacket. During the war there was a lot of latitude allowed in the wearing of one's uniform, especially aboard ship or out on some island in the middle of the South Pacific. Although khaki uniforms were prescribed in...

    My favorite riding/driving gloves

    Just got my first pair of Geier gloves (elk skin 440). They are a size 9.5 and fit perfectly. It's a "work" glove but the fit, finish and construction is so nice that they could pass as dress gloves.

    Lost Worlds-Threee Jacket Try On-Test, Roadmaster, Suburban

    Yes it's goat. Bought it about a year ago. The goatskin has a slightly matte finish, is thick yet flexible and has lots of nice pebbling and grain. After watching the video posted here, I might get a Suburban in goatskin...or a Test jacket in russet horse. Decisions, decisions!

    Lost Worlds-Threee Jacket Try On-Test, Roadmaster, Suburban

    My LW Raider is a 46 long. I'm 6' 1" and have a regular/slightly long torso and long arms. My preferred jacket measurements are similar to Fanch. My Raider jacket measures 27" sleeves and 27" back length and is just about a perfect fit for me.

    Lost Worlds-Threee Jacket Try On-Test, Roadmaster, Suburban

    Another great video Terry. Thank you for posting. Informative yet casual and friendly. Feels like we're right there with you, sipping a beer and talking about leather jackets. I wish Stuart would post these vids to his LW website. I have 2 LW's in my stable but I'm suddenly tempted to get a third.

    Aero button cuffs lining - leather or fabric?

    If you opt for a Hiwayman the sleeves have an inner elastic storm cuff which keeps the wind out. It doesn't tighten the actual leather cuff circumference but it does provide a snug seal against your wrist. Just a thought.

    F/S Good Wear Gordon & Ferguson M-422a size 44

    Can you tell me your height and weight and how this jacket fits you? Measurements are very close to a G-1 jacket I have. Thanks.

    Real McCoys G-1 Fit Check

    That custom Steve S manufactured M-422a measures out to a 46/48 Long and it's probably not 100% "accurate" by strict mil-spec WWII standards but then again, it's custom-made for my long-torso, gorilla-armed frame. I don't worry about sleeves riding up as I drive or belt exposure if I reach...

    Real McCoys G-1 Fit Check

    I agree with Fanch. The short-waisted military issue G-1 jackets were worn with a one-piece flight suit (no belt) so jacket body length wasn't an issue. Wearing it with civilian clothes, a short jacket would ride up over the beltline every time you reached forward or upward. The longer G-1 seems...

    Gibson and Barnes pu coating

    On the positive side, chrome tanned leather is pretty darn waterproof so if you're going out on a day of rain or off-and-on thunderstorms, it's the perfect jacket. I've worn my chrome tanned LW HH in torrential downpours and was dry underneath.

    Horween FQHH and shoulder bags/backpacks

    Nice jacket Sloan. Strap marks only add to the weathering, patina and overall rugged appeal of a well-worn, lived-in leather jacket.

    Navy Sheepskins

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/311641044495 This is not my listing but it looks to be in pretty good shape; it's listed as a reproduction but I'm fairly certain it's an original M-445.
