Any fit pics with the Trojan? Not to many available online, and I know that has a very unique fit

Here’s mine.
Didn’t you get a two-tone Trojan sometime back? Lol

Wow you have a good memory! I did indeed, got a black and white one, but I’ve still been on the fence about whether the fit is for me (though mine fits very different on me to yours)

Jeez @JMax , talk about being a brand ambassador, stunning LW collection!

I’m an amateur compared to a few folks here with LW stock options and board seats.

So Your the one... That was a quick one. The LW should hire you to be their official model. I have been following the forum for about 15 years but do not have access to the internet and hardly post. Your nice jacket was the one that got away.

There need to be a FAIRER selling policy for used LW jackets on this forum LOL! But great to see these jackets being worn in not just sitting as a collection and gets to be worn a handful of times a year

And I can’t recommend enough the LW canvas jackets. Great stuff.

One day I’ll stumble onto one of his denim offerings to try out.

not easy to forget a 2-tone like that
It's on the boxier side in general - but I believe your one came from an older pattern which they've reworked since

Maybe you don't have a board seat yet, but that collection puts you in the running

Wow 15 years is quite the wait... better luck next time
This is basically me on the prowl for any used LW gear as I'm sure are many others

5oz Lee - it's not hard to start seeing results in just a few months.
Still remember those damn buttons chrome tanning my fingers
Now they work like a charm

Day 1

Around 7 months later today

What did you have in mind by FAIRER? lol

Will a little conditioner help make that fold disappear? I love that jacket style and never considered that they might crease like that. Makes sense though.

 

[NamoAmituofo]

If you’re talking about the fold that forms when the collar is snapped open - nothing wrong with it - in fact you’ll need this fold unless you intend to wear this jacket zipped up to the top EVERY TIME

No fold/crease will ever disappear from leather, whatever you do.
Leather creases, that's what it does, if you don't like creases don't wear leather.

I’d probably hit a few buffets and fill out that area.

If that’s all that’s stopping you from getting a Leathertogs, it’s a non-issue imo

 

[Trouser Bark]

Leather creases, that's what it does, if you don't like creases don't wear leather.

I disagree, Carlos. Leather typically doesn't crease like that unless force into a fold. As with a catenary curve, a sinusoidal wave or a parabola, leather will form a smooth arch when allowed to hang, even in instances where the angle is relatively acute as in the leathertogs example when the snaps are fastened.

That prior fold was likely a tight 180* bend which would not be the natural rate of repose for jacket leather.

It means it's been force folded at some point. Laid in a pile, something laid on top of it, etc. My question assumes that the folding happened some time ago and isn't still being done in which case removing evidence of what had happened previously isn't all bad.

It doesn't detract from the appeal of the jacket and one day I'd like to have one; who wouldn't? It's ok to openly wonder though and no, 180* fold creases don't happen if you make an effort to avoid them.

Interesting take, but you might be mixing metaphors and missing the material science (PhD here). Leather isn’t a tensile cable suspended in a vacuum; it’s a complex organic material with grain memory, variable fiber density, and surface tension that behaves differently depending on tanning, finish, and wear history.

Your “catenary curve” analogy is confounding as leather doesn’t behave like a cable under uniform gravity, it creases from micro-compressions in the grain layer, not just from “180° folds.” And what you’re calling a 180° fold is more likely a natural break from wear or storage under uneven pressure, not necessarily mistreatment.

Plenty of leathers, especially softer chrome-tanned hides or heavily oiled veg-tan will show similar creases from rolling, sitting, or even being on a tight hanger. It’s not a physics demo, it’s just how skin works.

I feel like I logged into the TFL of some alternate dimension
Gonna need a textbook to parse through this meeting of great minds

I got this from @JMax who could confirm your idea if it was folded that way as you think. Honestly, he could have packed it up like an origami butterfly and I'd still be wearing it.
