Another nice one. Which Lewis is this and what sort of leather?. How do you rate these in comparison with say your Aero Premier HMN? Thanks

 

[Mawashi]

It will be a girl this time! Hoping one day she will develop a fondness for leather jackets like Mr.Propers little one...

Although that may bankrupt me

Leather jackets Pssst!... that's can tuna compared to the to the ladies stuff.

Max Mara, Chanel, Gucci, Prada... you won't just feel broke you'll be broke.

We're talking can tuna to caviar... so good luck rofl!

^^
See guys? We're wearing museum pieces.

Wait I thought we ARE the museum pieces lol

This is the Lewis Leathers "The Corsair", dark brown veg tanned sheep.

I don't want to rate them at all, because both the Corsair and the PHWM are cool jackets.
Sheep and steer is like day and night. The sheep is soft and in the brown rather thin, whereas the steer is thick and rather firm.
The LL wears like a cloth jacket or fashion leather jacket and the PHWM is a leather jacket.
What I like less about the Corsair is the pointed shoulders and slightly larger neckline.
If I were only allowed to keep the Corsair or the PHWM, I would take the PHWM. Fortunately, I don't have to choose.

Very strong first post. Great outfit, head to toe! Welcome!

 

[torfjord]

Such a cool jacket!

Fun fact: Half an hour earlier @torfjord explained to me how he was perfectly content with his current line-up and that he really didn't feel the need to buy any more jackets.

I keep thinking about this.

Finally got some decent quality shots of my new to me late 40s/early 50s Sportclad jacket. Thanks again to @jeo For getting me to try it on. It's probably half a size big on me in the chest and one or two sizes too big in the waist/bottom opening. However, it fits so well everywhere else that it really doesn't matter. Its also a little longer thsn i usuallg go for, but not too much so and its not meant to be a short jacket. Plus, it's comfortable, a beautiful color, and in really good condition, especially for what I paid.

That’s a hell of a vintage jacket Dude.
The hide beckons. Great color, class all the way!
I quit buying jackets but i’d buy that one if you ever tire of it.
Props to @jeo.

Amazing!

I know you like your jackets slimmer but I don’t think it’s big at all. These vintage cuts sometimes are bulky but that’s not the case here. This is exactly how a leather jacket should fit. Looks great both unzipped and zipped. You can layer and you can even bulk up a bit so you can wear it for years and years to come without fear of outgrowing it. Can’t get better!

Just an awesome jacket. Fit looks just like I like 'em. I have to say Sportclad make both my favorite MC jackets and halfbelts.

Love everything about this, the artwork and of course the whole outfit. That's the new J-24 pattern isn't it? Love it!

I think you rock all your jackets well, especially the Vanson, but this one is the bee‘s knees. Looks like it was made for you.

That's an amazing looking jacket, congrats. I don't see how it's too big though, imo it's spot on for the style.

Said it on Instagram and I'll say the same here, those broad shoulders! Epic. I agree with the guys above, that's a beautiful fit. The hide has aged in a way that can't be replicated, no matter how much intentional distressing some might try. Thats a gem you've found.

After this jacket, everything else is a step down. A big step. I hate the term, don't believe in it but I would say "Grail" could certainly be applied here.

The jacket fits you perfectly, one day you will appreciate wearing a jacket that gives you enough wiggle room for a comfortable fit…
