That trucker is interesting. It says tasteful distressing. I’ll agree. I thought it was a vintage piece. I’m also surprised to see how the measurements vary from a denim small. 1-1.5” bigger in sleeve, shoulder, and oal. Closer to a medium.

It is made in India

Maybe he means the brand itself.

Well, his description for the Levis trucket jacket is for a completely different model, this wasn't from the LVC range and it wasn't that expensive originally, I think they were around £320 new - which is what he's selling it for now.

There was a whole thread on that jacket on here before, I had one I picked up cheap from TK Maxx and a few other members got one, it was nicely made as far as it goes. Sizing was very much on the generous size with that model.

Levis currently have last seasons black version in the sale I noticed the other day https://www.levi.com/GB/en_GB/clothing/men/leather-trucker-jacket/p/577270002 Not a bad deal if you sign up for their newsletter and get another 10% off.

I know it’s the “Leather jackets” deals but... Wesco has many sizes in the Boss boot (not rejects) for $399.

I bought one in black buffalo when they were %50 off and returned it asap. Kind of plasticky feeling. The medium fit me like a medium should.

I prefer Whites I got my pair of nomads stock 9EE for this price through Backer shoes in Oregon.n I did buy a pair of Boss at
Stomper Boots in San Francisco off the shelf for $250 on sale about 2003. Broke my foot and sold them three years later on the bay for more than I paid. Go figure.

If that's the one I'd seen in their store, I can wholeheartedly recommend it. It even got reviewed here on TFL. I was amazed to see a jacket like that in a shopping mall. Heavy, quality leather. It's no Shinki or CX but it's far from what you'd call a cheap hide. Most amazing thing about it was the fit. Honestly, a really good jacket.

Just to be clear, I assume the boot had nothing to do with you breaking your foot?
I have two pairs of Whites and ... many pairs of Wescos, including harness and Morrison.
Both pairs of White's squeak and one has stitching coming loose. They're good boots, but
I much prefer my Wescos. Readers here should not forget that there is a Factory Seconds
page on the West Coast Shoe site, with bargains like that every day... if you see something
in your size.

Not saying one is necessarily better than the other and both are quality products. I still wear
both. YMMV and all that. Just sharing my experience.

Came in the mail today. It is really nice... And it fits! I'll have to do a full write-up of it in the coming days. It's a bit unusal for a motorcycle style cross-zip in its details. The leather is pretty stiff, and it's in amazing condition. I bet it must have spent about 59 years in a closet.

Ah hem, how those pics coming along sir?
