I like the style, vents and ability to add armour.
Now that you’ve had the jacket for a while, what’s your impression? Have you added armour, and if so, does it sit in position comfortably? Do the vents work well in hot weather?
I’m looking for a jacket that can reasonably cover hot, cold and...
If the leather feels dry, you might want to condition it.

I tried one of those Roots hoodies on last year and found it incredibly comfortable! Unfortunately they didn’t have my size, and the hoodies are now discontinued. My loss…
Nice! Congratulations.
I had the same experience for a 141 long. I almost dropped dead when I saw the sellers ad. I just told him I’d pay his asking price, plus whatever the shipping was going to be. It was a bit of a nail biter waiting for the shipping—but I got it—and if the seller had tried...
Looks nice! @jglf
Is there any black residue if you rub the jacket on anything white? I ask because, a few years back I dyed a dark brown motorcycle jacket black, and for good year anything light coloured that came into contact with the jacket ended up with black dye on it. Not too long after...
I picked up a second hand Schott Trucker (style #100—I believe it's a 2009—the fifth number in the bar code is a nine, so it could be a 1999...) in pristine condition not too long ago. I love it. The quality of the leather is amazing—thick and heavy yet supple. It’s super comfortable. The guy I...
I grew up wearing jean jackets in the 70’s, so it was just a natural progression for me to add a leather jacket over the denim to act as insulation.
The 50’s? Earlier, perhaps? I’m not really sure when denim became popular in the fashion realm, but manual workers have been wearing it forever...
I rode my first bike for years, wearing a t-shirt, Lee Riders jean jacket and a snap up trucker style leather jacket. It looked great, but unfortunately denim isn’t very warm, and a snap up jacket lets in a LOT of wind! So I spent a good portion of that time cold. But, hey, live and learn...
Hmmm, my 141 has the same creasing around the inside of the collar, but over time they’re completely flattened out. I never noticed it before. It’s a non issue for me. If I hadn’t seen your post, I never would have paid any attention to it.
As for the sizing, it entirely depends on your...
This military jacket design goes waaaay back. It was very popular in Napoleon’s era, and even predates that time.
I think LW did a great job with this design. It’ll look amazing when it’s worn in.
Is that a Wrangler?
I pulled my old Levis jean jacket out of the closet this week, and tried it on for the first time in about 20 years… it still fits, and it still looks brand new!
