So, now that my Aero Bootlegger is getting daily wear and will soon be broken in and I own Langlitz, Vanson, Eastman, Goodwear, Schott, I came up with this idea to reduce my collection to one jacket per manufacturer. Therefore, will sell much but also need a few more; in particular a Lost Worlds.

Styles that I am particularly interested in: Bedford, Suburban, Ryder, Speed Demon, Rigger, Raider.

Leatherwise, I am kinda set on 4 oz HH, but ey, if you got some of that Forrest green moosehide or the perfect jacket in russet hide, I'm surely not turning anyway..

Would prefer to trade for one of my Aero/Vansons and pay only difference.

Please pm me if you have anything interesting you have not worn long enough to consider being able to live without :D

I genuinely wish you luck on this one. I have really loved the jackets I have from Stuart (J23 and Speed Demon), definitely worth the boot camp break-in period. If you can’t find a trade partner, ordering from Stuart isn’t a bad end result.

Ordering new from Stu effectively costs me more than 2000 USD due to high shipping costs overseas and 25ish % customs fees. I'm not in such dire need of a jacket to drop that kind of money. :D

Yep, completely understand. I'm speculating it will be difficult to find someone looking to trade an LW for an Aero/Vanson +cash. Doesn't mean it won't happen. I've seen stranger things.

Thanks for the links guys, I did contact both sellers back then, unfortunately it didn't work out for either of these jackets.

Still looking, the Roadhouse style is growing on me, so if anyone owns one of these... I believe some forum member once mentioned he got one, (un-)fortunately can't remember who or would be bugging poor guy via pm already!

I am pretty sure @sweetfights owns one. Killer jacket.

Roadhouse is my favorite from LW. It's the one I'd get first.

Yeah. At first glance this looks like an amazing jacket, nice and thick horsehide and everything. But under the right chest pocket are multiple scratches and I believe even holes in the leather (you can see the blue lining through one of them). This jacket was up for auction before, offers went up really high to my surprise but the buyer must have returned it after noticing the holes. Kinda surprised people are bidding as high as 350 USD on it yet again. With holes at such a prominent spots this jacket is unwearable for anything else than garden wear in my books.

OK, I haven't seen the holes, just saw the description "LNWOT" and thought that it is as described.
