    Thank you for the feedback! I think I can live with the snaps as they are, these small cracks are only visible on the inside of the snaps and not on the front part of the snap that is visible. When inspecting my other LL jackets it seems that the snaps for those were also not quite perfect and...

    As a follow up to the star lightning received today, I have just had the time to sit down and examine it after work and I found a couple QC issues when it comes to the some of the snaps which seem to be damaged or have holes in them as seen in the pics below. As many of you have much more...

    Same - however I believe this might be due to the type of leather used as we haven't seen many Rutland Sheep jackets from LL across the forum..(or at least i haven't) The leather also appears to be much more broken in and grainy than my cowhide or veg sheep jackets from LL..

    Finally received my Rutland Sheep star lightning. (Last pending LL order I had) The Rutland sheep leather feels just like the Veg tan sheep but is a bit thicker and shinier + heavier. Below are some pics that can better show what the jacket and leather look like.

    If it is any consolation, I also cancelled an order with LL almost 2 months ago and was assured 3x that the order was refunded, I was even shown a picture taken by Aki using his phone displaying his computer screen and the order cancellation, but the debited amount is still showing on my credit...

    Tbh sheep leather is also MUCH lighter than the LL cow I have, so it overall feels like more of a lighter warm weather jacket as opposed to my lightning

    The longer sleeves would bother me as they kept hitting my upper palm/wrist area on my lightning, so I decided to experiment, I know the sleeves are meant to shrink as they develop more rolls but I feel like as the back shoulder area stretches, that well offset the sleeve shrinkage, so all in...

    Thank you - yes I asked Rip to shorten the sleeves from 68cm to 65cm based on the fit of my first lightning jacket - might have been hair too much but not bothered about it too much. Kinda balances out the longer body of the jacket on this one vs the lightning. (this one also being 3cm longer...

    As a follow up to the LL Saga, seems like my second order (green sheep cyclone) has just arrived ahead of my first jacket ordered (Rutland sheep star lightning) The interval between both orders was about 11 days. Here are some pics out the box of the jacket. I think the review of the sheep...

    Sorry to hear you've had such a bad experience but yes, as mentioned, you should not settle for a jacket at any cost, especially at that price range. Customer service and communication should be top notch as it was under the old regime. Hopefully this is a temporary crisis for LL and you'll get...

    Just got some good news - one of my LL orders has shipped yesterday. (Star Lightning in Rutland Sheep) Delivery is meant to be for Friday 20th. Although this time around I did have to pay 80 bucks import duty, which I didn't pay when receiving my first LL jacket in 2020. Also - RIP had sent me...

    Thanks for the feedback, that helps a lot with my decision. I think LW will be the next maker I order from :) ps: let me know if you have any recommendations on the different leathers they use and which to go for if I would want a leather that breaks in and patinas nicely whilst still being...

    A bit off topic but I have been considering getting a lost worlds J23 jacket but 2150 USD is indeed a steep price (Could almost get a Veg Cow LL and Sheep LL for the same price). I know LW is revered as one of the top leather jacket makers but, in your opinion is the new price still justified or...
