BESOIN D'AIDE LOST WORLDS LEATHER POUR LA MOTO!

[Carlos840]

My favourite LW to use on the bike is a dual hide, moose body and horse arms. (moose is very much like deer)
I like it because you get the comfort and pliability of moose in the body, but the waterproofness and protection of horse in the arms.
To me it is the best of both world, and i would recommend it if you are putting together a jacket dedicated to riding.

I would imagine thick goat would behave similarly to moose in this respect, with high strength and abrasion resistance plus pliability. Maybe LW’s goat could fit the bill for OP.

To answer you, I actually received my speed demon. I find it magnificent but very rigid. Much more than my Schott 618. I would like a LW that is easier to carry, and not just on a motorcycle. I saw deerskin on Stu's site which seems easier to wear, especially for work or everyday life. In green it’s even crazier!

I got a new LW jacket recently too and yes, it's very rigid. (Not sure what weight HH you got) Please wear it in the rain and wear it often. Even at home if you can, as dumb as that might feel. It already relaxed a lot in just 1 week. Huge difference.

I also have a Belstaff that is a few years old. But I would like to try another different skin.

Bonjour à tous et merci de m'accueillir sur votre site qui est une mine d'or!

Je suis français et mon anglais n'est pas assez bon, du coup je vous demanderais de traduire svp.

Je suis à la recherche d'une autre veste en cuir après mon Schott 618 steerhide et je suis trés attiré par les LOST WORLDS.

Je voudrais la veste la plus lourde possible et la plus adaptée à la moto.

Que pensez-vous de la BUCO RYDER?

Pour info je fais 1M80 et 80KG, Stuart par mail m'a conseillé la taille 42R, pensez-vous que c'est la bonne taille car il n'est pas très bavard.

Voici mes mensurations:

Shoulders from behind: 50CM
Chest: 111 CM
Arm length: 57 CM

Ne pensez-vous pas que la taille 44R serait préférable?

Merci pour votre retour!

Ami, mes amis français, avec vos mesures, la taille 42 vous va mieux
Salutations, de Californie.

Stu uses the good old method for sizing people. I do not know how he does it, but his patterns work for his fitting guidelines and advice. He dialed me perfectly. No problem there. In the past, I had concerns with the prices for some of his extra charge for shortening the sleeves one inch. I do not believe I asked for something unreasonable? Truly do not believe after all this year's of making jackets he will be making a unique dedicated sleeve pattern just for my order? However, I do love his jackets. In the past, I overlooked those important price details. As I stated before, if you are not careful with all those extras for NOS crown/talon zips, the price can go as much as $700 boners. No hate for those zippers. Personally, I like the nickle plated Coats & Clark #10 produced in the 70s. I have never seen any of them in LW jackets. They function as good as the old ones, but the nickle finish looks so much better (vanson used as well as other companies) Granted, they both are top of the line, but for me, I would take the Big talon or the big RiRi over any of the big crowns.

Johnson also makes an ass kicking trucker. I believe that when Stu is gone, his company might shut down and no more LW quality.

His machinist seems to be a bit younger. Maybe someone in NY could do a deal and take over the patterns and keep it going.

I'm just saying to myself that I'm going to order a leather togs A just because Stu risks quitting his job. I can't think of any other jacket that pleases me so much.

That's a good choice

[COLOR=var(--YLNNHc)]do you think there are any differences between the Speed Demon and the leather togs A?[/COLOR]

 

[red devil]

Yes, the patten is very different.

Can you tell me more?

I can do better, here are some pics of both

Here is the J24 if you are curious

The leathertogs A and B are my favourite on the motorbike, they give me the best range of motion

[COLOR=var(--YLNNHc)]Amazing ! does the leathertogs A seem shorter? why do you prefer it on the bike? Is it the 3oz or 4oz leather?

My choice will be the leathertogs A, I am hesitating between a horse leather that is finer than my Speed Demon or a deer leather for more flexibility.[/COLOR]
