Simmons Bilt Jacket Underway

[Sheepdog149]

I recently purchased my 1st Simmons Bilt leather jacket, thus it's in the mail. It's a "Road Scholar" in brown vintage horsehide.

How long did the process take?

I bought the jacket on eBay, as the measurements were spot on with what I normally wear. I don't see that particular model on their lineup...

I'm not familiar with that model. Could you post some pictures when you get a chance?

Here's the jacket (Road Scholar) I purchased, thus I borrowed the pics from the listing:

Very elegant jacket

I like that a lot. Olive drab liner is nice. Great grain to the leather as well.

I wondered who purchased that ( I nearly did) if you haven't experienced the brown vintage clayton horsehide ( which I believe this one is made out of) before your in for a treat the photos don't do the leather justice, I have a SB in that exact same leather its glorious I never want to take it off ( can I be buried in it???) BTW I believe this is a modified SB Roadster if anyone is wondering what model SB it is.

Niceee! No, this is my 1st SB...I was immediately captivated by the jacket's plainness and character-rich hide. The seller said the same thing - "Wait until you see this leather."

I noticed this popped backup for sale on the sellers eBay page did you return it or is he selling another one and using a stock photo?

Nope, I received mine and I love it...Last time I checked, he was selling 2 more "similar" jackets, but different than the one I bought (Road Scholar). But, I just checked, and I see 2 more like mine, size 42 & 44.

SB still mysterious for me, I never get chance to know their jacket and their hide from horween(like what's the difference between their steerhide and Aero's steerhide). They indicate their horween steerhide is 3oz with 1.4 thickness, I guess that is mistake because 1.4mm is actually 3.5oz.

That'll be one Bobby Drifter of Drifter Productions. This chancer was barred from here a few years ago after a short burst of abuse hurled at members here who objected to using Aero's name in his eBay ads - a practice he's not quite given up. In short, an obnoxious pillock not unlike the people he deals with over at Selkirk but seems to be happy to flog a lot of their returns. He may still be lurking here under another name, nothing would surprise me with that guy...

Despite what anyone has to say about SB and associated characters they do make a good jacket, I've just today taken delivery of a Black Shinki Memphis can't fault it, the whole order process was easy, service and delivery were top notch Debs made the whole process easy, I can see why people don't like SB and I've read most of the threads, would be a real shame if this turned into a SB bashing thread, I for one would like to see some photos and hear the thoughts of Sheepdog149 in regard to his new jacket.

Nobody is telling you not to buy, most here won't.
The info is here for the reading, so I guess you haven't looked very hard.
Enjoy your jacket(s). Just don't expect much love here is all...
