Ah a fellow jacket collector.
I really do like that one in the fifth photograph-It looks like it could be an RRL?
Though I haven't seen that particular one before..
Really very nice.
Someone on another Roughout thread posted a photo of the "Roughout Rancher" by Rugged West,which is a 'cheaper' type 3 trucker..I ordered one & it arrived yesterday - one of the poor quality buttons promptly fell off the cuff..snaps would of been better..I'll head over there in a minute & mention that so that anyone considering buying one is aware.
The lady there,Leilah,was very helpful & friendly though & she amended my order to a larger size just as it was about to ship.
I might try & use super glue & baking soda to glue the button heads better into the 'stalks' (Will have to research the correct term).

You’ll never get glue to hold a riveted button. Better to simply replace it. Maybe replace them all. It’s a very simple process. Literally could do the whole jacket in a matter of minutes.

They all look amazing.could you please share the names of those @ton312 ?

Unfortunately the site won’t load my images for me but I can tell you the brands in no particular order, Schott, tregos, buckboard, JCPenney, Regius (the two tone orange and black), Quintal, and a couple no label.

Was that question directed to me? The fifth photo is a Vanson Cheyenne. Got it from @Al 916

Hi,yes I was referring to the short trucker in the fifth photograph ..I did look on Vanson's site but I didn't see anything like that there..
I like short trucker jackets,not long ones.
I did a search & saw the Vanson Maverick,but the Cheyenne is way nicer..& pretty rare too..at least here in the UK

Hi,yeah that did occur to me,a little belatedly it must be said..
I watched a YouTube video on replacing Stud & Tack buttons (I think that's the correct term) & ordered some from Amazon..
I forget exactly what tool the Youtuber used to pry the original buttons loose..I'll do a little more research before attempting the job.
I really prefer snaps Tbh..like on the Y2 Roughout trucker..
The amount of money I've wasted trying to get the ultimate jacket is ridiculous..
I have a list of jackets that I was planning to sell on eBay to recoup some of what I spent..I guess I could offer the best ones on here too,see if anybody is keen..(got a couple of Eastman's (a 44" B3 & an ANJ),a Cockpit USA B3,an Aero custom C.H.I.Ps & so on & so forth).
My gf made me promise not to buy anything else after that Simmons Bilt Ranch Jacket & the Black Bear Rough-Rider..
She gets much of her stuff from charity shops so the guilt was getting to me anyway..
I had a 1960's Roughout Levi's type 3 & a Schott which I donated to her wardrobe as they were a little small for me.
And I've this kind of thin goat Roughout Alston style affair (pic) which I decided to size down on,is a keeper & the Drake's Roughout shirt (in my profile pic)

Yep, Vanson does no longer offer the Cheyenne as a standard model. They might do it as a custom order but I don’t know for sure.

Awesome jacket,very heavyweight looking..
It reminds me a bit if this Drakes Chore Jacket I just saw earlier on their site

Indeed, they also drape really nicely. Unlike most other steer jackets I've ever tried. My navy one is my favorite jacket of all time.

 

[vilkin]

Yes, it is pretty awesome. I do also like the earlier iteration in unfinished natural horse. I don’t buy into the hype with the waxed canvas versions, although I am sure it’s a perfectly fine jacket. The new leather ones in goat are not for me. I’d rather try to bribe TJ from The Shop Vancouver into giving me a slot for the new pattern Y2 Chore Coat…

I don’t mind the occasional fibre flying around. It’s gotten better (as one would expect), so I a, just going to wait it out (Other words for too lazy to proactively going the brush route).

Which new pattern Y2 Chore Coat are you talking about? I have a deposit down on a persimmon-dyed horsehide Chore, but haven't heard of a new pattern... might have to get my wallet out even earlier!

Yes, I have the persimmon dyed one as well. Great jacket.!

The Shop did offer ten or so slots to pre-order a new brown-red OD coat in a new pattern a while ago.
The pattern is more fitted but has shoulder gussets to compensate that. Also a zipper/snap button closure instead of the donut-push thru buttons.

The new version foregoes some classic Work Jacket features in favour of functionality, IMO. The new coat is more of a “Field Jacket”, if that makes any sense.
Certainly an attractive piece, if one can ever get their hands on it (and afford the price…).

Joe McCoy Rough Out Western Jacket - got a great deal on this unworn one direct from Japan, looks pretty new but time will sort that out, smells nice, super comfortable, and - surprisingly for one of my overseas purchases - it even fits me pretty well I think.

Oh I remember that one. It came around 3500 CAD before tax - a steep price! Looks awesome though, and you’re right.. it is more of a field jacket.

Anyone have the Rrl Alston roughout jacket ? Thoughts on it ?
I’m back and forth on it

 

[TLW '90]

For me personally I don't think I've ever seen anything cooler than this early 70's Pioneer wear.

At least not anything that I think could be pulled off by just about anybody.
ton312 has some awesome pieces that he pulls off well, but I'm not sure how many others could get away with wearing some of them.

I like the design. I think the Ralph Lauren design team had a good look at one of those Eskimo Comfort jackets.

I’m also a fan of the RRL Alston. But I don’t feel compelled to pay RRL money for it, I struggle to spend a lot on suede as I find much harder to differentiate between cheap and expensive suede compared to leather where it’s really evident. Also, I have concerns about the fit, it’s kind of weird. And it seems to have some “pre-distressing” effect even if it’s subtle.

I’ve been looking at the Iron & Resin clone as the price is much more palatable and it looks alright in pics.

Supposedly it’s rough out “buffalo” and flannel lined.

I could be wrong but seem to remember that Golden Bear makes leather jackets for Iron and Resin. Nice looking repro.

I might give it a go. I’m way less picky about “quality” than most around here, I usually mostly care that the jacket looks good, and with leather as I said it’s important that it’s decent or it will look bad even if the design and cut are good; but with suede, not so much. And suede tends to age worse than leather anyway, so I’m not dropping €1k+ for a suede jacket (I think! I’m very happy with my Electric Leather Studio Highway so I had their Bay model in mind as I think it would look awesome in some rich coloured suede like green or burgundy, but I’ve spent way too much this year -and not mainly in jackets- and as I said, suede makes me reluctant).

And the problem is, seemingly 90% of suede jackets these days seem to be based on Levi’s denim jackets and to be honest I find them really boring because they’re so ubiquitous, especially the type III. Actually I’m trying to find a replacement for my tan suede jacket because it’s a type III and I think it’s boring.

I really liked a Master & Supply (def. not FL-approved!) prototype they posted in their Instagram so I asked them and said they had no formal plans or ETA to release it.
