This is my first foray into leather trucker jackets. I think it was fairly successful.
Great vest (and look!). Who’s the maker?
Is a custom vest according to my ideas. Five Star Leather did it again.
This time I tried the "Capeskin", which is a lamb skin. Unusually light for leather, but pleasant for summer. I will take even better photos.
View attachment 231715 View attachment 231716 HUGE shoutout to @Monitor for posting this in the finds and deals thread. 50 gbp trucker jacket arrived from eBay today. I absolutely love it. The description said there were stitch holes on the back, but I can’t find them anywhere. Leather is real thick and nice, high quality, beautiful stretch marks. It’s a bit of a chore to do the buttons up. Fit is good I think (I was afraid it would be too small, I normally take a medium/40 and this is a small), arms are a little too baggy but that’s alright.

Oh crap, I wish you didn't post this! At first I thought it'd be perfect for me, then figured the back would be too short but now that I see it... I'd work! You're taller than me, too. It's AWESOME and I mean it! I know people'd think it's too short but for me, that's how a trucker jacket must fit. You hit jackpot with that one! Glad I shared the link, really am.
You just need a good hat and you'd fit in the American west.
