Show us your most broken in Lost Worlds HH jackets

[f2002q]

Five months of daily wearing the Appalachian. It got lots rain and snow in the North East this winter and the mouton collar was a welcome addition. It really does help with the drafts. Sadly, this jacket still needs more beating, but I can now move my arms but I’m still not able to fully raise them above my head!!! It’s definitely softer but still stiff in some axis.

This one came in recently, and now the work starts! Unlike my Buco PJ27, which is a tank that would take 30 years to break in, this is "lighter" horsehide and is already COMFORTABLE!

looks good. I don't think you're meant to do jumping jacks in them, the stitching and pattern isn't designed for that.

Gorgeous cross-zip. If I were to buy one from LW, it would be between this and the Trojan!

They break in great. You just have to wear the hell out of them. Out to the bar 1x a week four months of the year will take time. This one is 15 months old. Hiked in it, biked in it, wrassled a bear…..you het the idea.

Got any pics from that time you "wrassled a bear"? The jacket came out without a scratch!

Wow, that’s an amazing jacket. Looks so comfy too!!! I love the black mouton collar too.

100% agree with you, I wouldn’t want to do jumping jacks with that monster on either. I would like to lift my arms though or access the pockets while wearing it!!! At this rate, it will be another few months, hopefully before I put them away for summer.

"Definitely softer" he says about the jacket that looks like it could take a ****** without flinching

Softer means I can touch my nose with my fingertip while wearing it. I couldn’t do that five months ago!! LOL

Oh the Trojan, yessss!!! I also had a tough choice: It was between the Appalachian, the Trojan, and the Leathertogs B. The Appalachian won because of the large vertical pocket (map pocket) which comes in very handy. Any of those jackets is grail worthy. I have to start saving for the Leathertogs B and to think of an excuse to bring it in the house without getting divorced.

Leathertogs B is definitely worth it! If you ride, you can say that the pattern is the most comfortable on the bike and that makes you safer
