Regius Built Reproduction Sears 50's Square Pocket Half Belt

That is one beautiful jacket. I am strongly tempted to get a jacket from him.

I'd get in line now; it appears everyone who's had one from him already has an order in for another one

Perfect fit and overall great outfit!

Thanks, most of my styling cues come from other FL members

Thanks, he's a great resource to have here on the FL

Thanks. I'm literally wearing a brand new vintage jacket with upgrades and a custom fit. The money I spend on misfits and damaged jackets is way better spent with Regius.
I'm not saying I'll never buy a used jacket again but a new "old" jacket makes a lot of sense to me

I hear you. For a number of reasons, I some time ago stopped looking for genuine vintage clothing and segued into reproduction. For all sorts of stuff - including leathers - there's a lot to be said for a good reproduction that you can guarantee will fit well and that you can take out and wear without worrying about "destroying history" or it falling apart with wear.

I like that sleeve lining a lot.

Thanks. I think most quality repros are a celebration of the original vintage models. I think we appreciate what and how things were made years ago, but as you said they are more frail and rarer to come by( and increasingly costly).
I think it's difficult to find a " new" old school craftsman or company that can mimic the same style and craftsmanship as the original masters so I appreciate it when I find one. It should be viewed as an acknowledgement of respect for the past; in my humble opinion

Thanks, Regius was really helpful(and patient) with helping me understand what would fit me the best

Haha, same here! Thankfully nobody else looks like us...

You are not kidding. I spent a half day walking in NYC the other day, and I was the only one rocking a vintage leather jacket. Where is @Davisleathernyc where you need him???

I know right? I almost never see anyone as "put together" as FL members. Colors matching, well fitted, possibly overdressed but tastefully done. Most members tend to be in "reasonable" shape and are well groomed. I find all people- booth men and women react differently to me when I approach since I became a lounge member. The women smile and start flicking their hair and usually giggle at everything I say. The men straighten their stance, get a slight annoyed look on their face, and they start tucking their shirts in and sucking in their bellies. Makes me grin every time

I too have hardly come across a person in NYC sporting either an original nor repro leather jacket these days, but I know the collectors exist there. I once saw a customer scuttle away with a massive McCoy box from the then-in business Real McCoy shop. He must have bought a nylon or sheepskin.

Learn something new everyday. Been contemplating something in deer, elk or goat. Is that something up your alley?

I assume you mean this for Regius yes?

Worf, haven’t seen you here in a while! Feel free to send me a message

 

[Kunja]

That looks perfect! Congrats all around.

Thanks, now I have to get another one

 

[KBlake]

What hide is this? How has it evolved? The fit and back shape is excellent.

 

[Tom71]

Looking at this again, you nailed everything about it! Can we see some updates?

”A brand new vintage jacket with an upgrade and custom fit.“ Now that is something that appeals to me!
