These look nicely done. The Lewis is, of course a Lewis.... As you're obviously aware, Sid's Lewis Dominator was worn much more by him and for long in his short life than the Perfecto type the Japanese jacket represents. The Perfecto type - which I believe was an actual Schott Perfecto, if memory serves: as a reward for behaving themselves on their first radio interview in the US on the ill-fated American tour of early 78, Malcom bought each of the boys a leather jacket. Sid wore his the most, and it's often (especially by US fans) regarded as the definitive one... probably, as much as anything, because he wore it in the Great Rock and Roll Swindle. A lot of punks have historically worn Perfectos or copies thereof, though on the London scene back in the day it was all about Lewis for those who could afford them (or Mascot and others for those who couldn't). Even the Ramones wore Lewis at a time; it wasn't until, as best as I can make out, around 1980/81 that the Schott Perfecto became the definitive Ramones uniform jacket.

The "Mywayman" label is really cute - a lovely little pardoy of the original Highwayman label used by Rivett's of Leytonstone in the sixties. What sort of price bracket was the Japanese jacket in? I'd be curious as to where it was made; not many companies left making leathers in the UK these days (assuming the "London Tailored" designation means anything), so if it was made here, it could have been Lewis, I'd guess. Looks nicely done. I like the contrast stitching on the quilt liner.

Hello Edward,

Many thanks for your comment in my post. Yes, one thing is the lewis dominator and another the mywayman replica dominator. For me the best of this replica is that has the same cut/ pattern as the dominator of the 60's. The actual dominator has a variation on his shape..

Yes, Sid wore the LL dominator given by Viv Albertine (see photo of her wearing the future sid's jacket) after this model he used the Steve Jones biker jacket and finally wore his famous biker jacket wore by him in the last days of the band and himself. Personally i don't know who was the manufacturer of the original jacket. But i'm pretty sure that wasn't a perfecto. In my opinion this fits better than a perfecto is shorter and light.

There's no liner On my mywayman dominator Jacket but i have separate. (I modified as sid's one)


Any other question about the jackets on sale will be attended. Many thanks

Thank you! I wish the Dominator was a couple of sizes larger... Those are great jackets.

Interesting looking at the Rakuten link how all the '666' jackets are labelled "made in England" - I wonder are they made by Lewis? Certsinly all seem to be based on Lewis designs. Not many leather makers left in the UK now - ELC, Aero, Wested do some of their stuff in England...

I'm a bit confused. Is the Dominator for sale? is it a 38?
What are the measurements please of the Dominator AND 666 copy of the Dominator?
(did I get that right)
Thanks.
