Lee Trevor Wrangler Styled Cowhide Trucker jacket

[tmitchell59]

Trying to figure out what to say about this jacket. Part of the problem is selling a jacket I really like and probably won't see again.

I believe this is the coolest leather trucker. Just look at it. You can find lots of leather truckers, but they tend use the standard Levi or Lee pattern. I have not seen any other brand using the Wrangler pattern. It makes for very interesting jacket.

It is cowhide and has the same sweet smell of Connolly Steerhide. Maybe it is.

I've owned 2 Lee Trevor truckers. (both are in the album) Their use of L, M, XL is odd and doesn't seem to match the fit of the jackets. Best to ignore the M tag and go by the numbers and the fit pictures. I'm 5'9" around 185 in the pictures. The problem I have with the fit is through the waist. Trim there and you can get a lot in this jacket.

This is a hard one to part with, so the price will reflect that.

This is a beauty. Good for a V-shaped bod. My shoulders are too narrow. GLWS.

10/10 jackets. Sturdy, tough hide, excellent make, beautiful to look at. I'm a fan. Get this. Finding a leather trucker of this quality isn't easy. At all.

I think I'm going to change my description and just put in your words.

Unique, different, everyday wearable.

Damn, 22.5" back is short....

Very interesting and very very nice french jacket from 80s, would just like to feel that sweet rose smell from the leather which Terry mentioned in his video.
Should fit spot on any athletic guy with very wide shoulders along with narrow waist, Carlos this nice jacket looks to your side mate!)

If it had 24.5" back there would be a PM on the way already.
Unfortunately with 22.5 it's pretty much a sexy leather top on me.

How is that a bad thing??

Lol, but seriously, few Lee Trevor that I had were all really short on paper but didn't fall any different than my Schott jackets. Like, they'd reach the same as if they were 24" back. I mean, they were short jackets, don't get me wrong but didn't look like you'd imagine a 22" back jacket would. Something about the cut. Dunno.

The leather on these is beautiful, too.

Middle or high waisted Iron Hearts and the problem is resolved! If this jacket would have its shoulders around 17"-18", I would have been all over there already! Over 20" is a bit too wide to my frame) But I still am thinking of this beaut, esp. considering it's from prof. Terry!)

Same here. 20-21" is WAY too wide for my shoulders. My sweet spot is 18"; drooping shoulders is an awful look. 19" waist and 22" p2p would work for me, though. I need to lift much more, lol.

Extremely wide shoulders is quite typical for that time of late 80s-early 90s, that was the time when drooping shoulders look cool. Ken from Aero wrote that this french company Lee Trevor mixed some vintage features (the idea was taken from Wrangler Blue Bell in this particular case) with modern (for that period of time) new features, so to me that explains the situation with such extremely wide shoulders on this leather improvisation based on well known Wrangler. If I understood correct, such mix of vintage and modern features was the key idea and the key strategy of Lee Trevor then.
Anyway, this jacket from Terry looks cool to me, still am thinking of this beaut.

No way, all i wear are IH 634 and 24.5" looks like that:
I would need to wear my pants above my belly button for 22.5" to work...

Man, that's one cool jacket!

Indeed it is, i heard it lives in a Croatian sex shop now, what more can a leather jacket ask for?

Very interesting jacket. I wodner was it a licenced version? (note the use of the Wrangler 'W' pocket stitching, which is RTM protected, as distinct from the 'up for grabs' nature of the overall jacket design).

I wish WRangler would cut 'em a little short; this looks so much better than the current big W's denim versions, which (even in ther "icon" series) are practically blazer-length!

 

[tmitchell59]

I must be asking too much?
