Also horses are not killed for leather, they are sourced from Europe after they have been eaten. I love horses too but after knowing they are used for their full potential during life and after death is a grace of Man. Enjoy a horse hide

Football armpits will solve your issues there. Also gusseted backs can be made In numerous ways. The Schott Perfecto has this dialed. The back to me in your images doesn’t seem that bad considering you’re not riding in it.

I think it definitely would depend on the maker of each design. I don’t think there really is a solid comparison for warmth unless we had all makers side by side of each design. But as you know the ANJ4 is basically all the shearling military coats combined to make the most efficient pilots...
You have to keep in mind that every coat Lost Worlds makes is unique to the owner! Every coat he makes he does improvements be it through selection or production and even design. I think it would be fair to say that LW shearling is the finest and looks the best with that spoilt milk color. Also...
Most accurate reproduction is the Lost Worlds! It’s worth every penny. I have never loved any material item more than my motorcycle and the LW sits dearly in my heart! I even have it on its own jacket Valet[emoji1303].

That’s awesome to hear Bfd70! I love inspiring people, that’s why I love instagram. I equally love being inspired my man. I am 5’11” 185lbs and a 34 waistline. My coat is a 42R. With the sleeves rolled the leather line is parallel to the waist while the wool storm cuffs extend past the...
I have found that the jacket works more as a coat with the collar flipped up and the sleeves rolled down. It makes for quite a different piece of equipment and performing more like a jacket with the sleeves rolled up and the collar down. I always have the waistline pulled tight to hold the heat...
I have had mine in Norway since November. I wear it everyday I find anything above 4c the jacket must be open. I have only needed a sweater under for a short walk with the dog at -10c. A long walk with a sweater would be a no go. It’s incredibly warm. Your LW fits much different than mine. Did...
I live in Norway now so finding a local expert would at best be myself here! Thanks for the advice, I will check those other guys out!

Thanks! Still haven’t really found any answers to my questions online. Maybe that’s a good thing for me! The suits are tucked away right Now but I will be pulling them out in the next few days. My legs are short and the suits have been tailored but I don’t think they have as much reach in the...
I have two size 40R Merc suits. One is Gold Tonic (Vintage out or production) and one Black Pinstriped (also vintage out of production). Does anyone have an idea what they may be worth to sell?

Would like to bump this post as most images have gone away due to photo buckets fussy incompatibility. It’s been two years since this thread had some traction. LETS SEE YOUR LOST WORLDS!
I believe this is intended. The mobility of the inner arm is important for a pilot to use the hand controls. The outer arm panels should be tough. That’s why for instance the ANJ4 has heavy Hyde shielding on the outer arms and cuffs. Considering this is a pilots jacket, I believe you got what...
