Rich Sher Steerhide Police Jacket lately, usually paired with the ubiquitous black hoody. Lovely one piece back with delightful graining throughout. Quilted lining. View attachment 315927 View attachment 315928 View attachment 315929 View attachment 315930
Rich Sher and Ralph Pugh seem to almost always be beautiful and real finds. A few years ago you could find them for less than old Cals and Langlitz. Not so much anymore. Seems like the secrets out.Amazing. Rich Sher always seem to have beautiful grain.
Indeed. And as an added bonus, $1750 less than the Fine Creek equivalent. This jacket is very much like horseshoes and handgrenades...in this instance...close enough.

It’s a bit ironic that I like this paltry H&M jacket as much as I do. Ironic and sad. Nevertheless, it is what it is. That’s my legacy. The mall jacket guy. LOL. See you at the food court or Ruby Tuesday’s, Musicland, etc...

Could be, though I prefer Annie’s pretzel. But if you saw this jacket, I’ll call it the Fine Creek “Cletus”, chances are it was me. I know FC has the James, the Eric, etc. this could easily be the Cletus.Then that was you I saw in line at the Cinnabon!

I got my Rich Sher for $45! It was a gamble, no measurements & terrible photos. But in the end, a real gem! Is it pronounced "richer"? I've always wondered.
Pre distressed. I'm a huge fan of RRL jeans. They look great, they don't loose their shape and they're indestructible.
Thank you! Its a good start to vintage jackets, I love how relaxed the leather is. It might be sacrilege but I'm having the sleeves trimmed/shortened so I can wear this better.
Agreed. It must have been a custom. I’ve never seen anything like this one. If it fit me better I’d never have gotten rid of it. Straight zip with a collar lapel that’s incredible and the shearling collar is a ridiculous(ridiculous in a good way) color I’ve never seen. But being a custom it’s measurements are all over the place. If it were a run of the mil Cal I would say you should flip it. But it’s not a run of the Mil Cal at all. If you can get Dena or someone to tailor the sleeves it will be super badass. I just don’t have the funds at the time to do it. If you do @Jin431Not sacrilege at all. I wasn't going to say anything but, since your went there, IMHO the sleeves are way, WAY to wide in the bicep area. Given that you are already narrowing the upper sleeves, you might consider narrowing the shoulders and chest at the same time, while you are altering the adjacent sleeves. IMHO, the shoulders are too broad and the chest is too wide. The foregoing tailoring ain't cheep and I would not recommend it for a run-of-the-mill jacket, but your Cal is something special and it warrants the investment.
Ralph is the OG. If I could only wear one brand it’d be Ralph - he has everything covered. Denim/western/bohemian/Bedouin? RRL. Suit/black tie/formal? RLPL. Everything else? Polo or mainline.Agreed. I too am a big fan of RRL pre-distressed jeans. Really well made. Thats what I was wearing in my FCL post made yesterday.

That looks so much better with a little wear already, nice!

Me either. I think this one was only offered to the European market. The US only saw front quarter, full grain pleather. I used to shop H&M for work shirts, they had nicely fitted button downs for like $17. Haven’t been in the store I’m probably 10 years.I was never able to find such nice mall jackets! Not fair
This is fantastic. The large back panel is dope afRich Sher Steerhide Police Jacket lately, usually paired with the ubiquitous black hoody. Lovely one piece back with delightful graining throughout.
