What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

This RP-Ward cross zip fits me fine but it's best for someone two size smaller. The flap chest pocket is a bit too high due to my build. Judging from many old photos of cross zips, those guys definitely sport it oversized.

May just be the style of the jacket. Post another pic. The upper patch pocket may not work for you. Some jackets just look better in different sizes. I don't have a RP jacket this old, mine are more "modern" early 50s.

I made this belt clip with the last piece of my left over leather from my natural vegtan jacket, I need a black belt clip, i really used every last bit of the left over leather they gave me back with the finished jacket

thanks! it's a really great quality steerhide, a little long in the sleeves for me as you can see i turn them back and it's nicely broken in, they're quite smooth looking from new as you can see here https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/the-real-mccoys-steerhide-welders-jacket-sz-40.95871/

Really awesome combination here! I really like how all the colors work together as well. I am not usually that good with the color-match esp. when fades are involved.

If you ike the welding jacket concept but are put out a little by the price of this one, try something like on the link below. It will be a durable jacket, we have dozens of them around where I work.

Here is a Ralphs-Pugh Steerhide c.1950. From the estate of Harley Racer and Dealership owner in Northern California. Looks like his racing days were pre WWII.

Wow, that looks awesome, the grain on that steerhide is really popping. And the jacket looks in remarkably good shape for its age and still has the fur collar too! Plus it looks to be a good fit on you too… another winner there. I like the way the belt is designed - leather covered buckle with no tang, means finer range of adjustment and nothing to scratch the motorbike tank…

Yay! It came! Inner tag says size 36, outer tag says 34. Size is definitely closer to a 34. I think it fits OK. It's a little tight about the chest, but wearable. Jacket was basically new with tags, so there might be some room for it to break in. I would've gone for a 36 if I had the luxury of choice, but for around $420, I think I did pretty good here. Leather looks like it is some sort of Veg-tan - leather on the inside pocket is a little lighter than everywhere else. Really incredible details and stitching!
