My 5' 11" 170 lb nephew modeling the leathers. If anyone has any ideas where I might sell them other than on eBay, please drop me a line here. Thanks again for your time.

I found one other example on eBay and that seller also listed the maker as Lewis. Thank for your time. I believe I will try to sell the set on eBay. Best wishes.

Here’s a Rivetts suit currently on sale on eBay - not On the Highwayman label and not the same style but perhaps the same hide?

How?
850Eur is around $1000, which is more than fair for a pristine Long size LW with Crown zippers. (long sizing is a 25% upcharge, Main crown is $250, there might be an upcharge for the secondary zippers as well)
That's a $2250 jacket ordered straight from LW before you even factor in shipping and import taxes, altogether i would expect to pay a total of $2500-2600 to get a new one to my door in the EU.
If this was my size i would bid on this one without hesitation.
I missed the crown and if one requires a long sizing I do agree with you

Had no clue Vanson has an Outlet. Awesome Chopper listed, made from the heaviest hide available (@Hh121!), 600 USD.

I checked out the offerings last night.

They had a pretty cool tan suede trucker with contrast collar for just $150 that already got snapped up.

Vanson’s two trucker styles are great. If you can snatch one up definitely do it. Maverick & Cheyenne is what they go by.

I almost gave it a shot at $150 but the body also had an extra 2 inches making it likely too slim AND too long so I decided to pass.

These typically run a bit smaller, at least the Cheyenne does, than most other Vanson. But that is by design. Added length, etc., distorts the pattern for most folks imo. I wear 42 in most Vanson and my Cheyenne is 42.

Sounds like I avoided a trap then. Thanks for easing my conscience :)

I have an IH vest with the extended length. Hardly wear it, too long. And the proportions look off. I keep it because I “ need” a black trucker vest. My blue IH vest is the same size but without the added length IH adds to some of their offerings. It’s awesome. I think you made the right choice, even at $150, which is ridiculously nice.
