Leather Trucker Levi's / Lee / Type-whatever jackets!

Westride WR101JWB.

That Westride looks beautifully made, though markedly too long in the body for my tastes.

Just picked up another one of the damn things. Side laces made me do it. Turns out to be a really nice jacket. Tough, heavy hide. Vanson Comp. weight grade. Really thick, warm lining which means I won't even be able to try to jacket on for the next three months... But yeah, cool jacket!

...seems kinda shitty now compared to that brown HH one that was recently listed on eBay.

Hell no, that is a sweet jacket. There was one for sale a few weeks back for $200 that I chickened out on. I think the buyer now has it for sale at $650. That is a slick jacket man.

Yep, seen it. Cheyenne, one that's styled like a Lee jacket, right? Seems to be gone now... But yeah, those are fantastic jackets and the one I got is my favorite of the lot, but after you see something like this...

That’s the one. I am not up to speed on the different type of trucker styles but the Vanson Maverick and Cheyenne look cool to me.

AFAIK, it's mostly just those two; Levi's Type III (or your standard jean jacket) and Lee 101J which is basically what Cheyenne is.

Cool jacket!

Why the Hell I didn't bid on this I have no idea. Look at that hide. Yeah. It's God tier. Or whatever tier is just above that. I watched the auction end, thumb was stuck in neutral...

Because some clown threw in a bid and ruined the BIN for everyone, which was fairly low, considering what this jacket could've easily been listed for. It was what, $500 something? I'm pretty sure we won't see one like it any time soon, if ever. . .

What bothers me the most is that it probably would've fit me better than the one I have, according to the numbers @Hh121 posted.

. . .and then I realize that I wasted more $ on stupid cotton jackets than what this HH Vanson sold for.

IH aren't a waste tho! Man those are the CXL of denim and they age even better than any leather could ever hope to.

Cool jacket!

It caught my eye. Nice looking jacket, especially for a trainee label. A bit much asking price for a trainee jacket, though. I'd jump on it at $350.

Never save the pics. Makes it hurt all the more.

More I look at that Vanson, more I'm determined to get one from Aero in CXL. Would it be as cool, though?

Anyway, little update on the Aero Lee. So far, of all the jackets that I have had, this one got most compliments. It is nice.

That’s because it’s beyond cool!!
I love it even more without a liner.
Don’t you still have it? Hope so.

I just took these photos. This one's never leaving my side. I know this has been said many times in the past here but I'm serious about this jacket.

Looks like Aero is working on something new. Took this photo from their Instagram.
