Just had a quick look, personally from the pic I’ve seen online, leather for me lacked character and didn’t like the hardwear.

Yes, on the website it does not look convincing.
But on Instagram I had once seen a broken-in jacket, that was something completely different.
And if, I would rather start with veg tanned sheep.
However, the hardware does not really convince me either.

the Maverick comes with handwarmer pockets and an insider pocket standard on the jacket

Does the standard Maverick on Vanson’s website have hand warmer pockets?
I can’t see them in their pictures and I didn’t see them listed. This is what I plan to buy next and would really like those pockets!

For example, I don't think this jacket is bad.

I quite strongly disagree. VERY strongly. It actually is pretty funny.

I like it, but not immediately love or want to have it... if a denim jacket style that I want to wear then I wear denim jacket or cord or duck canvas, it is almost the same like wearing crosszip in anything but leather, feel kind of odd, not hating it but I prefer wearing it in its proper material

TBH anything in leather looks 10000x better. Pants, too. That's why I love 'em. Textile is nice but it's textile, suede is just pretend-textile & leather is leather. You will look better in leather than in textile. That's how the universe works.

can be too much of a good thing sometime sometime I already wear my leather jacket and then I rethink again about the places and activity I am going to do, and somehow switch to denim jacket. basically on bicycle ride I always wear my denim jacket, but if I drive car or ride motorbike or walking I tend to wear my leather jacket

I can definitely understand that. I think the only reason I like my jacket is because I dont actually like type iiis in denim very much. I much prefer a type I. In that way I feel less like my jacket is in the "wrong" material. However, if you actually like all denim jackets then I can understand not liking leather versions of them at all.

I personally don't like most leather versions of denim jackets. There are a few exceptions though.

The FineCreek and Y’2 leather type 1 and 2 are exceptional looking jackets. And I own both.

Yes, from the Heavens above through Lost Worlds. I was looking for this picture when discussing the shrinking of my Fine Creek. If this would have fit (it did not, size 42) I would have stopped my Leather Trucker quest. This one was an older model with the right tough horsehide. I've had another couple of other LW that were very different.

You have always had the perfect Type-1/2/3 line-up. Literally the best. Is the LW Lee gone? I always wanted that one but if I'm not mistaken, you sold it some time ago - Just when I had zero funds.

Yes, the LW was sold here long time gone. Don't recall who bought it, and it was not an easy sell!!

Trucker jackets are fun, easy to find, and can be Cheap.

Just bought this Reed black suede trucker for $75 shipped

I love it when you pull out the trump cards, Terry.
Usually ends the discussion right there.
Long live the King.
