Heresy. In my system of jurisprudence, that is a hangable offense.We're still awaiting fit pics from you The coat is really unique and piece of art and I like it even if I'm not a Peacoat person.

Nice leather for sure. The back is billowy and, from a design perspective, is somewhat less successful than the front.
Beautiful jacket,,,,but for me it’s easy too big all over ,,

Incredible taste @red devil once again. I keep thinking what a great cold weather coat this is to take a stroll in.

WWII French Army Motorcycle Coat
LW has removed the epaulets!
This overcoat (paletot in French) was used by French military motorcyclists, in motorized and armored troops.
We can still find some in army surpluses in France.

1940s period photograph showing French motorcyclists wearing this "palelot". One of my great uncles who served in a tank division (French military) still has his overcoat. Needless to say, he's not very young anymore.
I received my LW GS Courier Pea Coat last Thursday. Quite impressive. My first Goat. The overcoat weighs about 7 lbs and has a strong odor of new leather. Fortunately, the smell seems to dissipate over time. It's very comfortable, maybe a tad too large (it's a 42R and I usually wear a 42R), but still fits pretty good. I will post pictures (including fit pics) and deliver my impressions in more detail next week. Right now, I'm too busy with the Canadian election that will be held next Monday.
reviving this old thread, I'm thinking about purchasing a lost world deerskin jacket, would love some more insight from the community, how does the deerskin compare to HH in terms of durability? also does the deerskin squeak compared to HH (I don't mind the HH squeak from LW, but if Deerskin doesn't squeak thats an added bonus for me), any other information the community could provide would be much appreciated! And OP would be interested to hear how this jacket has held up over the years!
