That’s pretty impressive. It looks great for an amateur job.

If the cuffs on the sleeves are cut off, it will be perfect

Looks like a TFL meet up.
Lol. I am the short guy in the beanie to the right and behind the guy in the red hat. Lol.

I love the Rubber Soul jacket John wore. This guy sells replicas, but Im not sure what kind of quality they are. He also has other pcs of Lennon in the jacket.View attachment 491295
Recently came across the uncropped/unwarped photo that was used for the cover of Rubber Soul. All of the lads seem to be in suede jackets, besides George (who may well have one under his greatcoat). We have the clearest look at Lennon’s and a bit of research determined that it was made by the bespoke tailor frequented by all four Beatles, Dougie Millings.
A closer photo from its current prison on display at Hard Rock Cafe.
Some interesting details here. The jacket, unusual for a trucker, has epaulettes (which seem to have been torn off, perhaps by a mob of fans, not as a ‘fashion statement’ the way Fine Creek customers like). The chest pockets seem to be quite long, too, though otherwise it seems pretty accurate to the Levi’s type design. The cuff is quite different as well.
Certainly an interesting entry in the history of British Americana wear, alongside things like the Lewis Western or Bronx jackets.
I've seen that guy's site before. It does come across as a personal project rather than some cash-in like those sites you get whenever you search a famous person or character's name + jacket.
The question for me is where the quality lands given how low the prices are, but he doesn't seem to be trying to pull a fast one. Given the age of the site it might well be that these prices are well out of date, in which case it would make much more sense.

I just emailed him to find out what he has in stock. I'll let you know.
He appears to use the same web developer as Lost Worlds, LOL.
Very cool indeed. At least US one-percenters wouldn't have a problem with these MC insignia. They might be envious of the gorgeous graphics though.

He´s in remarkably good shape for his age. I just wish he had left his face alone. The last job left him looking like a cartoon character.
He´s coming back to my area next summer, but prices are EUR 200. That´salmost four times of what I paid last time around. I am still considering it as I never saw a bad show of his. Big family gatherings with nothing but positve vibes. Priceless, really.
That is really a great coat! I bet it weights a ton, inner jacket an all that. This one needs to fit EXACTLY RIGHT, but then it´s gonna be a stunner and will get better with the ages!
I should be in the general region ca. Feb/March next year. maybe I´ll try to make an appointment...
Yes, I think they're great too.
I still have to get in touch with them. I just asked by email whether it would work without the inner jacket.
In terms of weight, I'm not so sure whether it's really that heavy. I don't think the chamois-tanned leather is necessarily heavy (but not light either ;-))
I came across this tannery from an Instagram account that makes newsboy caps from this leather. Also very cool. But I'm not sure if that's not overkill in combination with leather jackets.
