Late 40’s Two Legs sports jacket made by Rough Wear. Excellent condition. Fits me perfectly. I’ll try and get some fit pics up soon. Leather is surprisingly soft and supple.

My favorite jacket of all. Ever since seeing Terrys' black one many years ago.

Sheesh, Lou!

Gotta give it to you, mane. These are some nice finds.

Found the original liner in my Hercules jacket, meaning mine is actually a Roughwear model from 39-40 which is what @jeo suspected all along.

I'm pretty happy. I feel like I got a better deal now haha.

That was me, I bought it. These rarely come up yet I’ve now bought two in a matter of a week. Crazy.

It appears to be in extra fine condition. Congratulations.

A totally crappy one recently went for what, 5 grand? This one is mint, I cannot think of a price I'd ask for it if it was mine.

@Leigh H I was drooling over that one this morning. The condition is insane. Probably quite spendy.

If I’m not mistaken it’s sold already - caption was updated. Whoever in the world got it should send it over to the Midwest for a day for a quick @tmitchell59 try on

Oh well no chance either way then. It's drooly worthy for sure. Terry making a video on it would be awesome

I've never owned a Peters. There was one on ebay that tempted me. It was solid but not too distinctive.

Some one should some do some background on Peters. I know nothing about the company. Their location on Mission St was home to the bay area Leather makers.

Interesting to speculate on the relationship between these many bay area companies. No doubt knew who was doing what. Think of the names in this area; Ralphs-Pugh, Block, Levi, Peters, Mission Leathers. When you include the rest of California you have quite a list.

Given so few of their jackets show up, I would say they were a very small shop and sold expensive Tailor made jackets. No nonsense, not fashion jackets, but look the flair. They wanted your attention.

Yes, send me the jacket. I will give it back

I'm curious about the buyer.

Where was this jacket advertised?

Peters Tailor made is so rare, so rare. Only Johnson Bros could be as rare as I've yet to find even a picture of the original jacket. I wonder how much that Instagram Peters went for.

Some more Peter's porn, different pockets on these two than most three pocket Peters out there:

And not overlook their straight zips:

The Peters at the very top is available for new lottery winners, little over 10k, US Dollars.

I did a bit of research on Peter's. From what I found it could well have been a one man show, definitely small as you mentioned. I'll do a post on it when I can.

Every one I have seen has been an amazing design and they look to be top quality as well. The rarity sure is reflected in these $$$$$ asking prices.

As someone said above, a lottery win is needed for one like the recent instagram jacket. Think a Bill Kelso repro is the closest I will ever get to a Peter's.

 

[Will Zach]

C'mon guys, y'all should beat a path to @regius door, he'll make you a Peter's.

 

[Marc mndt]

I've handled a handful of Peter's on my recent trip to Japan. Indeed highly detailed jackets of exceptional build quality.
