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.

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.

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!
