How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

[Benny Holiday]

I was going to wait untill i had the jacket in hand before posting pics, but i can't keep this to myself any longer, i think this jacket is just too cool not to share.

I don't know how much she weighs, but Stu said she was super thick and heavy, apparently they used 5+oz leather and lined some of the pockets (the patch pockets and the hidden gusset pocket) in their heavy canvas. I am expecting an absolute beast!
It isn't an exact copy of the Appalachian, more a LW interpretation than a real repro, but i think it really came out great.

Unfortunately i am leaving on sunday for a hike across Corsica (Gr 20) and won't be able to see it untill i come back on the 15th of July, i can't wait!

If any of you guys are into it, it should be available on the website soon...

Wearing my germ mask is all that's saving my jaw from hitting the ground. Great design, great leather. Looking forward to fit pics when you return!

I am always searching for lighter jackets due to my location.

I'd love to see you wear a red Lewis Leathers Lightning on the beaches of Hunolulu. You're not a size 42 are you?

I like:

23.5" or 24" P to P
19" or 20" Shoulder
27" sleeve
22" bottom hem
26” or 27” back

So more like a 44 or 44L, sometimes a 46

A morsel compared to the Carlos and Marc's feast above, I have this vintage Lee vest with the interesting pocket heading my way. Consider it a palate cleanser.

Carlos840's thread inspired me to look at Vanson jackets on Buyee, so I've got this Cheyenne Maverick on the way now.

There is a black one in my size as well, but I liked the two-tone look of this one, and I think the brown color will be a little more versatile.

Very cool, though this jacket is called Maverick. Cheyenne is a Lee copy, Maverick a Levi's.

Good catch!

This is as good a time as any to post the ultimate Vanson, ultimate trucker and ultimate leather jacket that ever was and will be.

It also sold for a bit of coin. Deservedly. What a jacket.

Snagged this cop jacket off Etsy. Was posted in the finds/deals thread. Was able to get it for a very low price. The measurements are completely all over the map and made zero sense. Thankfully it’s returnable but I hope it works. Little TLC and it should be a great beater. Leather looks stout, big fat Talon, could be cool.

that leather looks thick!

you can probably make a profit on the zipper alone.

Yeah it does look thick. Truthfully that’s the only reason I wanted it! The style itself isn’t particularly of interest but that collar looks like a thick cut pork chop!

Seems I have not been in the thread for some time. I do have this Hercules coming. The last two I had incoming were two Hercules MC jackets. Guess that makes me a collector! This jacket showed up on the Lounge and I need to have a look at it in hand. It may not fit me, but it will fit someone incase I need to move it along.

I do like the "vertical pocket" jackets. this should add to the data on this particular style. I've never owned one, don't recall if anyone here has. There is a great thread here on these map pocket jackets. Don't have the link as I write this.

I am convinced this one is made by Appalachian Tanned and Tailored. More details when it arrives.

Terry, I was the bidder under you I was not aggressive and if I knew you were in the game I would have stayed out.

Did you receive the Sportclad?

Ye, I been busy selling my 40-foot sailboat and varnishing my newer 46 sailboat. The hide is fantastic, the fit good, and generally in good condition no real issues that need attention, the leather. is strong. I do plan a review coming soon. My boat closed today

Congrats on the boat sale and what I assume is an upgrade to the new sailboat.

Nice on the boat and the Sportclad. I thought the final price on the Hercules was fair. Taxes are really adding to the final cost even when the shipping was very reasonable.

I did get some back story on the jacket. I should have it Thursday. I will do a review. Looking forward to a Sportclad review.
