Just received my first custom order from Leilah.
The jacket is awesome. It became a stock model and my exact jacket is on the website.

Leather looks great! if I didnt know better I would have guessed this jacket was a lot more expensive

I haven’t visited the thread in a while, thought I’d catch up over my morning coffee today.
Every time I log onto TFL and search for RW I’m a bundle of nerves. Are the responses going to be great or will I be ripped a new one? Today I’m elated. Seeing some of you enjoying your jackets and posting pictures makes the once weird leather jacket collecting kid in me jump up and down with joy.

If anyone has any other feedback/suggestions/questions, feel free to shoot me a line. Always happy to chat!

Hope you’re all enjoying the leather weather.
Leilah

Just wanted to share some pictures of my Rugged Rider 2.0 in Black Bison as it starts to break in. I'm really enjoying the jacket.

Hope it’s ok to bump an older thread!

Just came across RW co on Instagram and instantly became interested in the Stockman 30s style leather Cossack (been going about this style jacket for months Now haha).

I read through the thread and everyone seems to be happy about the company and the jackets they got! I am almost set to send an email and see if I can get one…

Couple questions-

Was it confirmed that jackets are made in Pakistan?

Do the jackets you all purchased fit well aka true to the dimensions detailed on the website?

Thanks!

If I'm not mistaken Leilah still has issue with shipping to EU, which might be very relevant to your plan to purchase something from her. If I'm mistaken - let us know.
The jackets are made in Pakistan, but she is involving some London people in some parts of the process (at least when ordering custom).

Thank you for the fast reply! I am located in San Francisco, California, USA, so hopefully there shouldn’t be any issues?

Good to know about the manufacturing. I am generally hesitant about imported products, but the overwhelming majority of positive reviews on this thread is easing my concerns a bit.

I did read that some people who purchased jackets said that they ran larger (I believe someone who wears a Large normally got a medium).

I guess I’ll email Leilah and see what the exact measurements would be for a 36/xs Stockman!

That I did! In conversation with her now and she seems more than happy to help.

I’m debating if I go forward with a custom jacket, as the preset xs / 36 seems to run much larger than the jackets in 36 I have at home.

Money is tight right now, but ~200 dollars more for something that would theoretically fit perfectly is very tempting….

Unless I hold out and save the money and continue the hunt for a vintage leather Cossack….

Decisions.

As she would be shipping to US then a return would be quite expensive if you take stock. No returns on custom. Tough choice yeah.
At least the stockman has better stock measurements (back length of 23.5" for XS). The one I want (rugged rider 2.0) has a back length of 25.5"
16.5" shoulder on the XS stockman sounds pretty tight though.
