So sad we're only drooling over US jackets when stuff like this gets unnoticed. Gorgeous, beautiful jacket.

here’s another one going the wrong direction IMHO:
I mean, the guy makes beautiful versions of old Toyota Land Cruisers and Broncos that sell for $250,000 and this is the jacket he puts his weight behind?!?
Seriously, a Blackbear/Y’2 leather N1 would’ve been more appropriate.

This looks like an old, stained lab coat. Even has the same cut.

Yes, they are definitely a cool shop. I have two of their vanson Commando collabs as well
I am close enough to the shop where I am able to go try one on, but just wanted to see if there any fit pics of the aging on this particular jacket. I really love that red internal lining Addict uses

For those who have been curious about the Sam Walker jackets, here is one:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/124855005667
I have owned one of these, and I would personally stay away from it. The hide looks pretty good in photos, but feels more plastic like in life.
I did have a great Sam Walker jacket long ago, but it was a very different model.

Weren't some of these produced by Aero?
Aero once made Highwayman jackets that were sold in the Sam Walker store- they were tagged Aero...Then SW decided to copy them. There was also a Cheyenne / car coat copy that weighed a ton. This lining is a giveaway that it isn't an Aero, this is the SW tartan.

A nice jacket for the price. Stupid measurements... No intl shipping.
A crappy smaller one is for sale, but for $1400 you have some mold and a broken zipper...

Ha. That’s crazy. I have one of these. Different label, no storm cuffs. Absolutely recommend for the pattern and fit alone. I can deal with shorter jackets (I’m short), but for those that can’t, this is one vintage jacket to look at. It looks good on different body types too. Just a nice pattern. And in a thick HH that ages very well. The HH version is not easy to find in wearable condition. I lucked out on a mint one, but it cost me too.

In good conditions, this is a nice HH Fidelity. No one at my size anyway here.
I noticed too the storm cuff with zip sleeves, kind of strange looking ? Original ?

You know, I don’t know if the storm cuffs are original. I’ve never seen them on this jacket before, but that doesn’t mean anything. If I had to guess, I would say no. Maybe someone here will go for it and let us know.
