Thanks. Good to know about the hardware colors, and, as I said, it didn't bother me anyway. I agree that Johnson Leathers did a great job on that and also on the Harris Tweed lining, which I didn't mention. They did an alteration on one of their own jackets for me and it was perfect, but...
I bought this jacket from the guy who bought it from this seller. It is a great jacket. Complete beast. You can see the stitching where the replacement zip was sewn on (if you look closely) and the new zip doesn't have the same color (now that I told you this, you can see it in the photos)...
Let me ask a variant of this question. I bought a fantastic LW jacket on the classifieds a month or so ago. It is fractionally big everywhere, though I still like it. It is heavyweight horsehide. Is it likely to shrink a little if I soak it through? I would love for the sleeves to...
That's a nice jacket. I just bought the standard D Pocket design in black from the Classified in a 40 (the one with the Harris tweed lining). It's an awesome jacket but I think a 38 would fit me better. I don't need two but I was close to grabbing yours and then selling mine. Glad you...
Another suggestion for you. I have a Lost Worlds G-1 that fits me wonderfully at the chest and shoulders and through the body, but is a bit long for my taste. Like you, I think this looks best as a shorter jacket sitting at the top of the hips. It is fine in the back but, because of...
My initial response was - what the hell is wrong with you? That looks perfect and there is no reason to sell it. After your reading your response, it seems like you have come around. All is good in the world.
There is a lot of talk about LW G-1 Leather being too think. I don't know where that comes from. It is not heavy horsehide. It is not as heavy as the steer hide in my Johnson M200. It is goatskin and all I said about it was that it is tough and sturdy feeling. It may be heavier or thicker...
This is partly corrcect. On a closer look, this is not real shearling, but rather leather, maybe calf, lined with wool fleece (the body is lined with a sheepskin backed by leather or suede, which I can see where the sleeves and body join. So I could get a similar lining for the sleeves - but -...
To be honest, I am kind of annoyed LW won't custom adjust one for you. I love mine and wanted you to get one, too. It is awesome. Also, in the back of my mind I could imagine getting another myself at some point. Literally, every other jacket I have gets taken by one of my daughters so I can...
I started this thread to post my thoughts on and experiences with the jacket I got. And as I made clear, I don't care at all about authenticity or faithfulness to a particular contract model. In fact, I would prefer some non-authentic features, like an additional interior pocket. The color or...
