Sleeves are long but otherwise I couldn’t be happier with this Freewheelers La Brea // thanks to Jake @almostvintagestyle for passing on this gem

So damn good. This reminds me exactly of my Phillips jacket (that @Marc mndt discovered was made by Rich-Sher). Shawn got the collar perfectly right. He should rename this model the Rich-Sher Halfbelt.

This jacket DID turn out bitchen. Particulary nice graining on that left side.

@ton312, Being that I also have one of the referred to P66 HBs (mine is Steerhide) and have never been able to find out much about who might have made them---could you kindly direct me to the thread where @Marc mndt determined the maker to be Rich Sher????? Somehow I missed this revelation!!! An interesting development I need to get more info on if possible.

I spotted this Rich Cher which shows a lot of similarities to the P66 jacket.

Marc sent me these off IG. All the details look super close to the Phillips, minus the rear yoke, and AB, pocket piping is a little different, but overall, the basic pattern looks the same, same liner. I’m fairly convinced.

KILLER detective work!!!!! I am gonna try to get mine out tomorrow and go over it close. Very cool. Connecting the dots on these jackets is part of the fun. Interested to see what @tmitchell59 might know about this too. Maybe I'll start a new thread on these. Kind of a tight niche but it still might be interesting to have it in one thread for archival purposes.

Thanks boys!!!!!
