Been wearing my new Lee 101, trying to break it in before i post a review...
It's really a much nicer jacket than i was expecting it to be, leather is thick and spongy with a slight LW vibe going on, construction is very good, fit is very comfortable, i really have nothing bad to say about this jacket.
If anything what annoys me is that it is nicer and fits me better than both my IH Type 3 that are supposed to be "higher end" jackets...
Welcome to my world. I've been feeling the same for every high end jacket for about a year now. That Levi's cross zip I recently picked up, that jacket absolutely anniholated mostly everything I've had fit & functionality wise except that it was a bit too light for me. Even that had its perks though because that made it fit even nicer. But the leather was so gorgeous...
Same as I don't think I'll ever be wearing any other sherpa than the 70's Levi's. While there's an Iron Heart grail sherpa hanging in the wardrobe right next to me. Just sad.
In any case, this Lee seriously and honestly fits you as good as any leather jacket can. Beautiful jacket. And really, why not consider this a high end jacket? If it looks and feels high end, that's what it is, regardless of what you paid for it.

Very nice. What are your thoughts 4oz v 3.5oz. I much prefer the 4+.
Dude, that looks great! I need to find more used LW, where are you guys finding all these lovely jackets?

Same here, 4oz or plus always my first choice, but lighter hide is from LW is extremely nice and robust as well, including his goatskin, you will not be disappointed, I guarantee you.

Religiously check Ebay. To the point that my wife has mentioned an intervention. When they pop up under $750 or so you better hit bin or it’s a no-go. LW is my kryptonite. But I’ve been selling other jackets and my Star Wars collection off so its been easy to justify. I’ve got about 2,000 pieces of toys left to sell. Lol. That makes my wife happy. More space for her stuff.

Just met a bunch of Argentines on Enduro bikes who were wearing Vanson. Amazing how these jackets kick off interesting conversations.

Which one you feel thicker between Trojan and J23?

I would say they are the same. Not like my CHP, which loosened up rather quickly. Same 4oz leather though. The Trojan has to be from around the same period as the J23.
