LW Trojan. I’ve been wearing this non-stop for a bit and the front panels are finally giving in.
$5 sweater
$12 pants
$4000 leather vest
This is perhaps the most New Orleans vest which has ever existed.
30F here in Iowa and it's feeling a lot like Spring may be on the way! TRD crosszip. Did a review in the TRD thread that Guppy started.

I neither have Field Leathers nor do I plan on getting one at the moment but I swear, I saw the pics before reading the text and as I'm not good at remembering who has what, my first thought was "Man, what is that, Himel? Why do people say they don't make brilliant jackets 'cause this is absolutely brilliant!" and then I read it's FL.
To someone who's probably spent a better part of their life during the past 10 years, staring at photos of leather jackets (sad, I know), Greg's work stands out. I don't know how or why but it does. Fantastic in every way. Something special.
Spring is in the air. Wearing my favourite jacket for the moment. FL Route66.

Time to bring the forum photography level down a notch with my pics. Temps supposed to moderate in the next few weeks. Cold today but no wind and some sun. Tootsie roll hunt in the front yard.

Sun was out again today and so was I. I got the Bill Kelso Duke out of the closet. The Duke in Victory Horsehide comes up from time to time in discussions of the "Greatest" leathers. This was the claim of BK back when this jacket was made. Seems very few are out there. The cost was always quite high.
It looked so good I put together a slide show. Not saying it is the greatest, just saying it sure is nice.

Looks great! Congrats on this again! I just noticed the beefy main zipper, what make and size is that? Looks super cool!
Thanks, Jib. It’s a No. 8. I have never asked about the maker. The puller basically looks like a paperclip. Very reduced. Glad, I went for it too. Those „period correct“ No. 5‘s can get messy after one or two pints...
@Jin431 Thanks, man! Yeah, my little 4-year-old photo bomber always keeps me laughing and making me happy and satisfiedLooks great! Congrats on this again! I just noticed the beefy main zipper, what make and size is that? Looks super cool!
Love the shawl collar action here and the boots is just awesome! Looks like you have a little photo bomber on the background too!
That leather is glorious! Great job on wearing this so well! Up top!
Wow! Talk about grains right off the bat! FL I tell you!
That jacket is looking even better! The fit is just superb as with someone who knows how to work Aero's odd measurement system! I think you made the correct call on getting nickel hardware, that looks fantastic!
Love the jacket and the leather looks special! Thanks for sharing!
