Shamelessly posting in here too. LW Lee 101J - to me, the best trucker design by far.


Sturdy copper jeans buttons:


Nice draw on the back panels too:

Trying to figure out how to take decent pictures without the help of my 15 year old son (which gets awkward in a hurry). I have a lot of practicing to do!

CXL cowhide LL Dominator I bought new in 2003.

No shame, that’s an amazing jacket!

RMC j-100. I go back and forth about whether this is too small or not. View attachment 652116

It does look great. Which by experience means it probably is a hair to small.
You know like Daniel Craig wears a full size down in all jackets/suits in his James Bond movies for the “hero shots” (i.e. when he’s more or less static as opposed to scenes where he actually has to move, run, fight).

On the plus side, should you really decide to part with this one, it should sell without a problem.

Both great jackets, the Don and the Bronx. Nice, subtle patches on the later, too. No reason not to wear all the time. No one will mistake that for biker colors.
Special kudos for maintaining your shape over 20 years. Both jackets still fit to perfection.

Funny enough I never had heard that about the "hero shots" but it totally makes sense. If I can find some to try on in person I may try a 40 from the new pattern of the jacket which I've heard is slightly roomier or even a 42. Then I can be ready for hero shots and also functional living lol

Thanks for the kind words, Tom! Unfortunately, I’m trying to ditch the extra 10 lbs I picked up somewhere along the way. Both jackets have been kind to me fit wise though.

I had them professionally removed. They took on a crease i didnt like from being an 1” too long and mostly wearing on a motorcycle.

Vanson Model B I picked up in the Classifieds. I think it might be a keeper:

Been wearing this bad boy every day for a while now, LL Dominator, sheep skin, super comfortable, really hard not to wear.

I own this exact same jacket. every time i put it on i say, "this is so damn cool." it's pretty much a perfect jacket (as is my brown sheep Corsair) and i should stop looking for other jackets.

You’ve had some real beauties that fitted you very well over the years, but IMO this one is your best fitting and the one that suits you best. Keeper and should become a trusty companion for years to come. Congrats.

I haven’t seen you post a jacket yet that didn’t have the standard of being a keeper, somehow you always nail the fit.

The zipper is the only thing that feels weak with this. Luckily it’s not that cold yet. Eastman B-3

The jacket fits you well. If the jacket does not restrict movement, wear it with pleasure

Amazing jacket Jonas! förbannat bra!

I got this beauty delivered today, a Y2 D-pocket(HR-55 i think) that I found on Mercari for a real steal. The jacket was sold as used, but it sure feels like new! super chuffed.

Cheers all!
