Stuart is always open to new ideas and projects, if it's a jacket he likes and it fits within his brand he might do it.

What is this speciel jacket you would like to get a repro, I am curious to know, as you already have so many

The explanation is in one picture. I will do it tomorrow. I had just seen pictures of Carlos in his Lost World, I got this new jacket, put it on, looked in the mirror, had a Vision! The jacket just looks Lost Worlds to me, like a Trojan. I saw myself wearing a new Lost Worlds!

The picture will better explain.

If LW did that jacket I would go on a selling spree to get most of the funds ready to go.

just stands out to me as a LW jacket. LW has many models available and probably have no lack of jackets to inspire them. This Californian looks, to me, like their neighbor in Southern California, Trojan. This jacket is a size 44 marked. Has that "square" body with broad shoulders.

I prefer this jacket config too. But is it necessary to ask for a repro when you already have this one in such a condition ?

I'm not asking for anything. I thought it might be interesting since I think it looks like a Lost Worlds jacket. That is it.

This padded Langlitz posted earlier really ran up the score

@tmitchell59 You’re right, definite Lost Worlds strong vibe from that jacket. Looks like a fantastic for you too

I think these are the best CR style jackets bar none. The fact that they go for such reasonable prices baffles me, but is great for those aficionados that appreciate a find and a deal.

I have always believed the same about the Kehoe. Its a widely shared view that the Kehoe pattern is pretty much THEE pattern for CRs. But recently I picked up a pre AMF Harley Davidson Sportster (while label -- which I understand is later than the black labels and pre the AMF aka Brooks models) and it SMOKES every other CR I have and I have WAYYYYY too many. I currently have a Walter Dyer (maybe 2), 4 Schotts, 4 Fidelitys, 3 Brandeds, 4 Lescos, a Brooks gold label, a vintage Endura of CA and a Kehoe. The fit, the look and the leather on the HD is a great combo IMO. Excellent graining on the hide but the fit is crazy perfect for me and its actually a tagged 46 (vintage sizing). The Kehoe, the Endura and one of the Schotts were my top 3 fitting CRs. Now the HD holds the fit crown.

The Kehoe's though continue to be undervalued though. I routinely see them at very palatable prices for some reason. In most cases you WILL NOT go wrong with a Kehoe for fit, look and price. But if you can get a stab at a pre AMF HD, I highly recommend you go for it (if priced reasonably of course ). Great jacket I had for some reason sorta ignored. Not anymore!

They usually do brother! Looks absolutely MINTY!!!!!!! Another Cali gem...

I had one of these and sold it to a Member because it had a couple of pinholes that my weird brain couldn't tolerate. Extremely solid jacket. I really liked it...... and I'm tempted here but way overloaded on CRs right now.....

with an offer option. If I had not recently purchased a Taubers of a similar pattern I might have bit. For some reason LW goat does not resell as high as LW horse

...and it's been sold. If that was to anyone here, we'd love to see some fit pics... obviously.

This or the 50s HD Cycle Champ we own would be right in LW’s sweet spot. No doubt.

Roughwear Clothing in Middleton PA is best known for their A2 military contracts. Very few of their non-military jackets show up. This Roughwear motorcycle jacket really surprised me, never seen one in the 50s crosszip motorcycle style. I have considered what companies Roughwear may have made jackets for. Very few of their labels show up.
