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.
This is my first foray into leather trucker jackets. I think it was fairly successful.

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.

Super cool. Looking forward to seeing more of it.

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.

Thanks again, buddy! Yeah, I’m with you on the trucker length. Nothing ruins a trucker more than 26 inch back length, it just looks wrong.
I understand that people don’t want a huge gap between trousers and jacket. However, the solution to that problem is spelled Wrangler cowboy fit jeans and only costs 20-30 $.

I’m really happy you posted this as well :). If I ever feel like I want to move it on, you have first dibs!

You just need a good hat and you'd fit in the American west. "Torf Goes Out West"
Looks really good!

thanks Monitor, wrong pants in fact, these are the loose fit carhartt pants that I doubt no one in West Berlin wore, i need to put on some polyester 70s pants.
