    Please share ur rough out ,suede jacket

    Yeah I did buy one & it's thin goat suede,after I bought it I saw the Iron & Resin offering which is thicker & cheaper.. I'm always suspicious when they use terms like 'Roughneck',you know,when they fail to specify 'Full Grain Leather'..Iron & Resin stuff does appeal

    Please share ur rough out ,suede jacket

    Hi,yeah that did occur to me,a little belatedly it must be said.. I watched a YouTube video on replacing Stud & Tack buttons (I think that's the correct term) & ordered some from Amazon.. I forget exactly what tool the Youtuber used to pry the original buttons loose..I'll do a little more...

    Please share ur rough out ,suede jacket

    Hi,yes I was referring to the short trucker in the fifth photograph ..I did look on Vanson's site but I didn't see anything like that there.. I like short trucker jackets,not long ones. I did a search & saw the Vanson Maverick,but the Cheyenne is way nicer..& pretty rare too..at least here in the UK

    Please share ur rough out ,suede jacket

    Ah a fellow jacket collector. I really do like that one in the fifth photograph-It looks like it could be an RRL? Though I haven't seen that particular one before.. Really very nice. Someone on another Roughout thread posted a photo of the "Roughout Rancher" by Rugged West,which is a...

    Anybody have experience with Y’2 leathers?

    These look so great. I've been researching a lot of full grain Roughout jackets (shirts too!) Rugged West (Pakistani made I think),Iron Heart,RRP,Golden Bear & their collaboration with..is it Nokoma? ( the Baseball glove manufacturer).. Also Simmons Bilt's Ranch jacket. Drakes do a nice shirt...

    Interesting information about Horween leather

    Drakes do a "Roughout" overshirt but inside it is not shiny ,it must therefore be split suede not full grain Roughout ? This is very misleading,possible to justify the extortionate price tag..it does drape nicely though

    Please share ur rough out ,suede jacket

    Awesome jacket,very heavyweight looking.. It reminds me a bit if this Drakes Chore Jacket I just saw earlier on their site

    Please share ur rough out ,suede jacket

    I don't know if this really qualifies as a jacket..but it may qualify as a 'shacket'- Drakes Roughout overshirt ..it's very heavy but I cannot ascertain whether it is waterproofed. Or what type of hide it is made from ..(horse or cow..I'm not an expert like many on here) I understand Roughout is...

    Leather Jacket Armholes

    Yes..I suspect it might be shoulder to shoulder as opposed to body barrel size.. Definitely researching this one in time for final measurements

    Leather Jacket Armholes

    Yeah the 44'' barrel would of been ok if the arm holes had been..farther apart I suppose..Going up to 46'' didnt change that..so I guess I need to include like shoulder to shoulder measurements..I'll ask Chloe.. That front quarter horse hide though..love it..warms up nice in the sun

    Leather Jacket Armholes

    Ah I see..yeah thats what I shall have to do when its time for the final measurements..inform them it was tight across the arms..I will look forward to your thread then..nice one

    Leather Jacket Armholes

    Yes this thread is the closest to my problem although I am not certain that arm holes are the problem... I'm on my second Aero chips,having gone from a 44" to a 46" & while there is plenty of actual chest room,it is still annoyingly tight around the back/shoulders/arms..or one or more of those...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    I really like Robbie79's RMC B3..what gorgeous leather..makes me wish I'd not gone with Eastman's 'time worn'.. Anyway I was lucky enough to find this (chest 42")Schott on E bay (Thanks,Dom)..

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    I just got two dark brown Levi's truckers off e bay..one M & one L..for some reason they saw fit to remove the leather patch by the hanger & cut off the red tabs from by the chest pocket(s).. Got an Aero waiting to be cut (for summer) & an Eastman I bought a while back for winter

    Levi's Trucker Jacket in Buffalo Leather

    I had one but it was way too long..I lost a lot of weight so the XL ended up way too long.. If youre a 44" go for a M or L..(M is 41-44" whereas L is 44-47" so it can be tricky gauging if you need M or L)..I ended up giving mine to a big lanky friend

    Looking for a shearling jacket for winter, any advice for B3,B6,D1 or other?

    22"..just something I read on a thread here..that Aero's was thicker.. Regarding Cockpit..their sizing is terrible..at least the midnight trucker I bought in large..the body was long like a coat & massively wide around my torso) yet it was way too tight under my armpits/shoulders/back..& it cost...

    Thoughts on my new Eastman Rough Wear B3 jacket

    Thats Good to know,cheers John.. I was wondering about how much rain it would withstand..it always seems to rain when I wear my leather jacket(s)..I bought an 'ultra-lite' rain poncho..hoping it will fold up into the map pocket..

    Thoughts on my new Eastman Rough Wear B3 jacket

    Here's my 'time worn' finish..it looks similar.. Very happy with it..wouldnt think it needs Picards for years..the zip was on the wrong side but otherwise a perfect fit.. True the redskin is better but when I ordered it said the rough wear had broken grain so I went for the time worn but that...

    Looking for a shearling jacket for winter, any advice for B3,B6,D1 or other?

    Heh yes I think I got mixed up reading another thread..ok so I have placed a preliminary order for the Aero D1.. Kinda galling to think I could of bought an Aero D1 AND Aero horsehide trucker for the price of Cockpit USA's lame 'Midnight trucker'.. I had read that Aeros shearling was 22" vs...
