    Original Lewis Holster of Los Angeles- Inspiration to the Freewheelers Muholland

    I came across another Lewis Holster jacket and it looks to be where FW got its inspiration, not the Californian, not Cal Leather or Seattle Woolen. This Lewis is different from the one in Tanaka's book.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Yes, mine is capeskin. Thank you very much for the info. I was surprised because FakeAlpha listed mine as Pony Hide but I knew they are wrong the moment I got my hands on it.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I am not into heavy hide but these are so soft that it does not have the crease and grain which I like.

    Lesser Known Japanese Jacket Brands

    1) Unless you can find someone who writes Japanese, there will likely be lots of miscommunication; 2) To protect their dealers, they are unlikely to offer any discount; 3) Quite a few Japanese shops are getting more weary of taking overseas direct order. Their practice is no return, no change...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    For close to 680 bucks after discount, I'd not say that one is a real bargain. That version has unimpressive soft light weight hide.

    Interesting that it seems to come without belt loops. No tell tale sign of DIY job.

    Vintage Outerwear: Threads of the Past

    Well, I am talking about WW not the Etsy seller. WW has the jacket and any experienced vintage dealer would surely notice the repair. Yet he lists it as mint condition and is selling it for $1300. He is either inexperience and reckless or else. All I am saying is check carefully and don't...

    Vintage Outerwear: Threads of the Past

    You beat me to it. So I will just add that anyone should triple check the items that shop is selling. I would not trust their description on an item. I first met the guy in a vintage market many years ago, he listed a pair of engineer boots as 50s vintage but inside the boots, there is a "...

    Freewheelers Mulholland Alternative

    The older more expensive Westride are slim cut clones of Langlitz that are made in USA. The cheaper ones have weird elongated pattern. Attractions are good but very few leather jackets. As to the leather, I would pick my FW over the LW any time.

    Freewheelers Mulholland Alternative

    I am not so sure about that. If the hype is about brand and leather, the other FW models should have attracted as much interests as the Muholland or pretty close to it. Fact is there are much less "hype" about San Mateo, Centinela, La Brea, Speed Demon, Four Corners or better yet the ever more...

    Freewheelers Mulholland Alternative

    Seeing how quite a few people prefer the Mulholland and Mobster, I would agree that the badge holder and laces may be a turn off to them and those people are likely more attracted to small details besides the leather. IMO it is possibly similar when people much rather go for a repro A-2 than...

    The Deck Jacket thread.

    Thanks for the correction. You caught me. I was lazy without clarifying about the contract numbers and the various versions.
