Okay I looked up the epaulette. So put a hidden tab underneath the collar? To keep the mouton collar flatter?

no I mean instead of loops, tabs might feel flatter and not to painful when resting on your shoulder

so its buttons sewn on the inside the neck lining then some tabs on the outer collar? Am I getting it right? Lol

yes, in my mind it may work, right? just have the mouton top reaching further into the neck or perhaps a strip of leather band if you want to avoid showing the individual tabs peeking outside.

@navetsea, that's a brilliant solution. You really should be designing outerwear.

I will check with them if it's doable. I can imagine the part where the buttons will be sewn further down into the lining like they do in the old Cals. I quite like the buttons idea its less invasive and since I don't ride it should be just fine. Thanks again, man.

I'll order one for sure, count me in too

 

[navetsea]

thanks, honestly I think I have seen it somewhere with that loop def on Thedi, and tab is just a next logical step, must have used before too probably, if not then there must be a reason why not, just make sure the top mouton have enough reach even when the collar is folded down in any way, make sure no stress or any pull, otherwise it will stress the liner and might pull the liner up.

Is anyone familiar with the brand Luda Clothing? Are they leather or vinyl? It looks cool imo.

Real or fake? (Or lvc reproduction?)

Edit: nevermind, it's LVC Made in Spain

@technovox you've got one of these right?

I took the tassel thing off my chest pockets, but I like it on the main zippers. It’s these sleeves I’m not sure about. I can see it getting dipped in soy sauce soon, so I think I’ll remove and leave on the pocket. Do you leave the wrist tassels on?

 

[navetsea]

I would unknot them, and either prick them together with small eyelet/ double sided grommet, or make a single stitch on each side , leave about 3cm long and trim the excess, if you have a big and sharp nail clipper I use it to make smooth blunt curved end.

Man, you are on a roll with the truckers and LVCs! Great finds! This is what's keeping me from buying an Aero Type 3 because the jacket can be had for less.

I shortened the leather pull on the brown jacket as well, I just cut it out and blunted the edges like what @navetsea mentioned.

I didn't bother on the black jacket as Greg put grommets to secure the pulls and I don't want to mess that up

I remove them all, except for the main zipper. and if that is particularly long, there is a knot on top.

Random question: where’s @tropicalbob?

First thought that came to my mind.

I asked Greg for some extra material so I could make my own pull.

The best (and only) way to learn more about jackets is by handling a lot of jackets so I basically buy whatever I can find. I like to see and experience how jackets were made and what leather they're made of. Last weekend I got lucky with the finds and bought 5 jackets. I do try to limit my purchases to jackets that are rare or unusual in one way or the other. That's why I'm going to pass on this LVC trucker. It's a newer LVC of which there are plenty around.

Can't wait to receive this one, which looks like it's an original vintage. Bought from a guy in France. Should be delivered next week.

I find the pulls useful when wearing gloves. Generally I like to have them, and if a jacket comes without them, first thing I do is replace the missing ones.
