Hey everyone,
I‘ve got the hunger again, this time for a trucker style leather jacket by any maker known for good craftmanship and pattern. Something Type-3ish.
There is one caveat: I want handwarmer pockets. I know, I know, big sacrilege to all the purists, type 3 should not have handwarmer...
Looking for an addition to my wardrobe that offers something new and since I gifted away my Johnson Leather Bison coat, I don‘t own any longer style in the 26-30“ backlength ballpark.
I am roughly a size 40 at 5‘10 170 lbs, looking for a LW or JL style preferably with:
26-30“ backlength,
22“...
Nothing too biker-ish, other than that I am just feeling the itching again. Since wear my Johnson Leather jackets far more than my Vansons and others, it’s gotta be another Johnson! Horween, Bison, whatever specialty hides, even their regular naked cowhide if it is a nice jacket. Hit me up with...
I've been away for a while but I am kind of hooked again. My collection is still quite large, so I am not looking to buy just any jacket, I am looking for particularily nice pieces. Johnson Leather jackets in Horween Hides, Vansons probably in size 38, most of them run a bit large, brown hides...
Parting with this one hurts.. it is what I considered my grail jacket at a time and still consider the best possible Bootlegger variation. Unfortunately after wearing it for a few weeks, summer came, I lost almost 30 lbs and now it fits like a rag on me. Therefore selling it. It has the usual...
Clearing out some stuff for space. Whatever doesn‘t sell, I donate to charity. All priced to sell. You buy multiple for give aways or whatever, we can discuss package prices.
Aero jacket good conditions, topcoat of that hide indestructible. Condition of the 5Stars is very good, worn a few times...
I believe I have received an email a good while back but cannot find it and then ofcourse I wouldn't know whether it still applies.. anyone knows?
They currently have two three models I like a lot:
A suede Perfecto:

I picked this up last fall because the pit to pit measurement seemed small and I thought it may run small and fit like a 40. One of my costlier mistakes I have made, not gonna lie. Don't be fooled by the PTP, this fits huge, due to the under arm gussets and the action back. Atleast true to size...
Looking for something with broad shoulders and plenty of taper through the body now that I have dropped from 180 to 155 lbs. JL patterns usually come with broad shoulders and fair taper through the body so there's that.
Sweet spots for measurements are:
19" shoulders
21" PTP
18" waist...
Hey everyone,
I have a large number of jackets for sale. Most of them are too large for me, because I bought them too large or because I lost more than 10 lbs in the past year.
There is fit pictures of each jacket. I can provide detail shots upon request. For reference, I am 5'9", 175 lbs, all...
I got this a while and longer ago. Unfortunately it was made for someone shorter than me. It fits pretty much perfect in the body (22" PTP, 19" shoulders, 24" backlength, 26" frontlength) though. Maybe a bit wide around the hem. Guess it was made for someone shorter and sturdier than me.
It has...
I'm very happy with my brown cross-zip jacket; the Bootlegger which I received this spring and I may have caught the ton-fever, because damn, I want another crosszip, black this time thank you very much. :D
Here's the problem though, I'm having trouble finding one that combines all the features...
So, now that my Aero Bootlegger is getting daily wear and will soon be broken in and I own Langlitz, Vanson, Eastman, Goodwear, Schott, I came up with this idea to reduce my collection to one jacket per manufacturer. Therefore, will sell much but also need a few more; in particular a Lost...
Clearing my coat rack in time to fill it with new jackets in 2019! :D
Please don't post in this thread unless you feel you have to, but pm me instead directly with questions. I want to update this thread with more jackets over the next days the new forum doesn't allow me to edit the initial...
I am looking at the Aero Bootlegger again recently (thx @ton312 ), always liked the style and @torfjord 's jacket with the mouton collar looked so great, I decided I NEEDED this as well. Not sure yet whether brown clxsh + irvin collar or cordovan clxsh + irvin collar, but one of the two it's...
It's that time of the year again where I want a LW jacket.. :D I find myself searching for a more civil alternative to all my black leather jackets way too often lately, so I'm looking for something in russet. Styles I like are the Suburban, the Ryder Halfbelt and the car coats.. but I'll look...
Since I received my Dakota, I rarely picked up these Aeros, I feel so much more comfortable in the Vansons and the hide on them is just heavy and thick enough for me. Very unfortunate because the CLX leather on the Aeros is so much nicer to touch and move through the hands.. but it's just TOO...

It's shipping in Germany only, so you won't find it on ebay.com etc and the market in Germany for stuff like RMC isn't as big as in the US. I believe this will sell for very moderate amounts of money.
If you...
I'm looking for a budget G-1 and judging by pictures, I like how the Cockpit G-1 with the very gathered back fits. I usually wear a size 40 but from what i have read, i probably need a size 42. Let me know if you have one you don't wear anymore, thanks!
Oi,
got something to celebrate and decided to go for a black counterpart to my brown Aero HWM.
I'm generally looking for a jacket with a shirt collar and non-zippered handwarmer pockets.
My usual measurements are 22-22.5" pit to pit, 25" backlength and 25,5-26" sleeve length, so the jacket...
