    Coupon code for Schott valid until 3/31

    I got this in the mail, and thought it might be useful for those pondering the purchase of a Schott: Coupon code: LASTCHANCE14 15% off at checkout. Not sure if it's ok to post this here, so I understand if the mod's feel compelled to remove the post.

    New Alexander Leathers Jacket ... I call it the "Adventurer" :)

    I like seeing personalized designs, especially those that push towards the streamlined/simplicity end of the spectrum. Once you start down this path, though, it will be very difficult to be happy with an OTR model, since 'everything is permitted' in a made to design scenario. Very nice!

    LW Peacoat in goatskin after a 1 year

    I like the goatskin! Got a similar coat recently; we'd look like a brother and sister walking down the street.

    New Lost Worlds Leather Peacoat Pics

    Burgundy rayon is a standard item in an LW jacket (if requested). If you have a LW jacket now, and want it relined, LW does offer a 'restoration' service, but it costs $350 (not to mention shipping/handling). Alternatively, you could buy the rayon from LW at $40 sq yard (or source your own for...

    New Lost Worlds Leather Peacoat Pics

    Not a hide expert. My understanding is that Elk is a bit tougher and more durable than Deer, all other things being equal. I think Deer works better for something more 'shirt-like', e.g. an A-1, varsity jacket or similar. Also, it's probably easier to use a single Elk hide for a jacket as...

    New Lost Worlds Leather Peacoat Pics

    Quick front view pic with the dreaded hands in pocket stance: I wear sportcoats and blazers under my jackets on occasion, hence an additional 1" length or so.

    Mystery G-1 jacket

    I imagine a photo or two of your jacket would help.

    A2 patterns and relative fit

    If I go down the repro path, a 42 with a slimmer torso is probably the way to go then. Thanks for the info guys.

    Correct. No fur collar. I'm a scarf guy.

    New Lost Worlds Leather Peacoat Pics

    The jacket felt stiff on day one, but every day it grows softer and softer. Based on what I've read on the site, it is nowhere near as 'stiff' as HH. I had to karate chop the jacket to fold it onto a chair on day one; after about 10 wearings, it will fold over without martial arts. Not an...

    A2 patterns and relative fit

    I'm wondering if anyone knows the shoulder widths of A2s produced in 1931-43 by contract. From what I can gather, early Werber designs had a wider shoulder to waist ratio than most. Anyone with definitive knowledge that could offer a relative ordering of contracts? I'm asking because if I get...

    Lost Worlds

    LW has strong opinions about its product and I for one enjoy seeing it in action. Reminds me of Breaking Bad and the quality of the 'blue.' (Although I can't picture LW building jackets in a RV.) You might think Heisenberg was an a&&, but his product was the best...and that was the message...

    Thanks, I was initially worried about the lining color but it just 'works.'

    New Lost Worlds Leather Peacoat Pics

    The Raider, Suburban and Ryder are the styles that interest me most. The pictures and experiences shared on this forum are more compelling than the pictures/messaging on the LW site. Analogy: I saw Dirk Nowitzski in the flesh at the Peninsula Hotel and he was larger than life: LW jackets...

    Eastman Luftwaffe Jacket sizes for 40/42

    If I were to move forward with an Eastman, I would very likely go through HPA, given their responsiveness vs ELC's. Glad to hear satisfied customers chime in.

    Eastman Luftwaffe Jacket sizes for 40/42

    I totally agree with your philosophy as a seller/vendor. However, customers come in many shapes and sizes. Many people on this site have already purchased a dozen or more Eastman model jackets, for example, and have acquired a knowledge of fit, etc., which I'm sure they leverage when making...

    Tweaking my LVC Menlo Cossack

    As a fan of darker jackets myself, what you were able to accomplish is quite impressive. The top jacket wouldn't even get a second look from me, but the bottom jacket caught my eye and I actually spent the time to look more closely at the details.

    New Lost Worlds Leather Peacoat Pics

    Some pics of my new LW Leather Peacoat. Peacoats are my favorite jacket design so it's not surprising that my first purchase of a significant leather piece would also be a peacoat. LW quality is directly palpable: weight, smell, texture, 'feel', it has it all. The hide is a black elk, which...
