If Bruce Banner were wearing that, I don’t think even the hulk could rip his way out of that beast!
This is it, no need to say more.
Edit: when you are riding in a LW jacket, it's the road that is afraid of you spilling over

Olive rhombus-quilted (polyester) fieldjacket. I wanted to get a new little stock of bulbs and prefered the jacket's versatility.

It's a fantastic jacket indeed, if it's not a fantastic fit.

Sure, you’re not 18, you can’t work out 8 hours a day. Take a cool down lap in the Vanson.
That makes me wonder, is there a phenomenon where the anerobic effort required to break in the sleeves in a LW causes one’s arms to grow and no longer fit said sleeves? Does a 1st time LW owner need to size up in bicep diameter to account for this?

The WB is from Hartford Wisconsin. They had a bit more design than some of the other Deerskin makers. Some of their older jackets are very collectible.

I always feel for a second like your taking these photos inside one of those new Catholic churches with really modern stain glass window designs.

Incredible how much softness of the leather can affect the look and the fit of an entire jacket. I would never have even guessed that's a Vanson! Never seen a Model E look like that. Tremendously good pattern.
Actually there's more truth to that than you might expect. It's seldom discussed around here but the truth is, upon placing an order for the dreadnought 4oz plus hide, Stuart administers a variety of grueling physical and mental tests to potential customers. Fearing a man bun wearing, metrosexual might slip past, he revised the tests (with much more grueling standards) I believe around 2003.
The original tests can still be taken tho. It's now called the entrance exam for the United States Navy Seals program.

Then I definitely don't have what it takes to join the brotherhood. I guess it's lambskin for me.
