Reg is ledgendGood choice, in my opinion his pattern looks far better than FL.

Nice one.Eying this cal leather
I don't trust the size tag LW put on their jackets. I have/had three LW jackets. My size 34 A-2 is a like Western size 38. My size 38 J-23 is a true Western size 38 but my size 36 Ryder is more like a Japanese size 36.So I found a size M canvas Lost Worlds on Mercari for around 40€ and bought it. It will take a while before I get it but at the price I'm gambling about the fit.
I lost a Ryder size 38 for less than 180€ but I didn't have any money at the time...
My search for budget price Lost Worlds continues. I'm gambling a bit on sizing but I can't commit to +$1500 without having a size try on for reference.

Schott 568 Vandals Jacket - $1,250 The classic Perfecto motorcycle jacket, in a very special limited-edition Schott double rider style. I don't trust the size tag LW put on their jackets.

Thank you.Best is to talk to him about sizing and preferred fit. He nails it more often than not.
Looking good! The front cuff zips are custom right? I'm tempted to give the Cafe Racer Sheene a third try with the thinner CXL. I would spec it just like yours, with the zips in the front and not the back.Yet again the statement "That'll do" has failed again!
Just ordered another Sheene but this time in black Badalassi.
Love this style.. View attachment 456919
Yes they are custom however, for the black one having them put on the seam to give s slight differential.Looking good! The front cuff zips are custom right?

Nice! Received notice today that my black Badalassi Sheene was shipped today, will be arriving on Friday according to DHL! Have optioned two chest pockets, zipped hand warming pockets and an an August collar And some additional goodies…Took about two weeks from ordering to delivery…Yet again the statement "That'll do" has failed again!

Jacket arrived. Think it can work. Though the upper is a bit wide, the length is right and the leather is soft so shoulder is not sticking out like horns.I have this coming in. A Montgomery Ward. This one is likely to be too large for me but I have to give it a try as the price is very reasonable. Flaws as far as I can see are only the broken zipper pulls on the sleeves (zipper still works) and torn lining at a few places.
