Trade: Lost Worlds Ryder Leather Vest, 40 (L)

[Monitor]

Never had I made a thread with more reluctance (though I doubt it something will come out of this) but simply put, this vest does not fit me anymore.
I can comfortably wear it over my sherpa Levi's Type-3 so you can imagine this no longer is for me.

Regardless, I absolutely LOVE this piece and would much rather trade it for something similar I will love just as much. Money it can bring in won't cover anything nearly as cool so... Yeah.

I'm interested in a leather vest or a shirt or a great pair of boots or something fun like that, size 38 or true 40 for clothes, 46 for boots.

Lost Worlds heavy horsehide. Of four LW jackets that I have had, this leather is by far the sturdiest. It feels indestructible. It's not overly heavy and the leather isn't any thicker than what you would expect from LW but something about it makes it seem extremely tough.

Original small no. 5 which I kept has been replaced with a large military #10 paperclip Talon and this was done by LW.

Vest is unlined. Three pockets on the outside, one deep horizontal pocket. As versatile as it can get. Looks great, fits even better and it will outlive you by generations.

Measurements...

• P2P: 22" / 56 cm
• Waist: 19.5" / 50 cm
• Back length: 24.5" / 62 cm

Other than the main zipper replacement (or upgrade, I should say as I can imagine the original crappy small zipper broke the first time the vest was zipped up), no issues of any sort. Clean, no smell.

Dude, don't do it, you told me so many times that you loved this vest and would never let it go.

Another one you will regret my man. You have a more daring style and vests are so versatile. It’s too cool a piece.

Of course, if I thought it would fit, I’d be all over it and my advice would be to sell.

Hahaha, I'd love to but I feel SO good right now!

Dude, don't do it, you told me so many times that you loved this vest and would never let it go.

I still feel that way, it's my top three best things I bought but I can't wear it anymore. If I could have it altered, perhaps but I'm not sure how that would turn out. . .

I will, I know but I'm also sad knowing it'll just sit in the wardrobe... Well, this thread is wishful thinking, anyway. If nobody offers up nothing good for a trade, I guess it's meant for me to keep it.

Dude, I’m gaining weight.

I'm pretty sure a competent leather tailor could just trim the side panels to fit you but the difficult thing would be to find one that is able to do it.

Did you cut out the liner?

I was thinking the same & might just get that done should this raise zero interest but figured I'd ask first.

Nope on the liner. I'd never do that. Bought it as it is. I don't think the previous owner did it either because while there's some fabric around the arm holes, I can't find any remnants of it anywhere else so I believe it was made that way.
