Trojan jackets were just cool designs. Few makers were as interesting to look at. And not just the MC D-pocket, but pretty much all their styles.

Nice one you have there Caballero J. I was wondering what size is your trojan. I love the original belt on those. I got some very nice HH from Stu. I will be making my early 50's production belt. I have been using my LW j23 belt, which is not bad either.

Gracias. It’s a 44, perfect fit with or without layers. As you know, LW sizing is jacket dependent.

A cold snap no kidding. It is going to be below freezing in your neck of the woods tonight. Balmy here, still flip flops and tank tops weather.

Haha. Yes, cold few days here and perfect for riding, even as the temps increase slightly. If you are lucky, you’ll have maybe five such days all year. It’s good to be gone but absolutely understand the allure of the place. I do love it when I’m there and settle back in quickly.

Lee Storm Rider, 60s? Probably from a thrift shop.

That really doesn’t look green.
It looks as though the actual name is olive drab. There's brown finish over a green flesh on this Shinki hide. I don't know if freewheelers finished this leather themselves but it's very unique. Here's a photo where you should be able to see the green poking through the collar.

Interesting. Thanks. It’s a beauty jacket.

What's the tan colour on the rack behind the olive one?
