    U.S. 1 Leathers

    Hey all. I just stumbled across a leather company based out of MA that I never heard of before, U.S. 1 Leathers. I couldn't find any info on here either. According to their website, they offer 4 1/2 to 5 oz thick steerhide as well as cowhide and horsehide. They also do custom work. Apparently...

    LW Suburban 42 Russet

    Hi gents! Up for sale is a Lost World’s Suburban in heavy Russet, size 42. I bought it used awhile ago and am now finally getting around to selling it since it never fit quite right on me. It’s spent about 99% of its time with me in the closet. No rips or tears and zippers work good. There are...

    The Hunt for the Least Restrictive Leather Jacket

    Does anyone have any experience with the Schott 673? It has a bi-swing back. It's reminiscent of the Vanson Oxford. I always thought their brown waxy cowhide looked good. Is Vanson generally better than Schott in the 'range of motion' category or does it simply depend on the specific jacket style?

    The Hunt for the Least Restrictive Leather Jacket

    Truth be told, I don’t want to tarnish the Suburban’s reputation. It is indeed FQHH but it never fit right. It is slightly small for me ( though tagged in my size 42) and purchased second hand off EBay awhile back. The Aero, however, was a custom order purchased directly from them. The fit is...

    The Hunt for the Least Restrictive Leather Jacket

    Thanks for the pics, measurements, and info! When you say you ended up spending extra money on return shipping, was that because Vanson didn't get the fit right on the first go? So Bruce doesn't currently have that jacket in stock but offered to make it in that brown distressed leather. Not...

    The Hunt for the Least Restrictive Leather Jacket

    Well thanks for the pics Terry! And those jackets look great. I’m leaning towards the Enfield because of the ability to layer, plus I like the one piece back. I do, however, like the classy collar of the Oxford. Wonder if they’d stick that on the Enfield for me? If you’ve had both styles, did...

    The Hunt for the Least Restrictive Leather Jacket

    Interesting. Any thoughts on the Walter Dyer jacket pictures I initially posted? I know they're not as well known. Seems to bear a slight similarity to the Enfield or possibly a Highwayman. Here're some pics of another jacket in that same style that another member posted several years ago...

    The Hunt for the Least Restrictive Leather Jacket

    Great feedback and pics guys, thanks. One of the things I've noticed with the Aero HB is that the low armholes feel like they would always be restrictive, regardless of whether or not the jacket is broken in. The Vanson Enfield definitely seems like the one to beat. Though it's a completely...

    The Hunt for the Least Restrictive Leather Jacket

    Hey guys. I currently have both a custom Aero Half-belt and a Lost Worlds Suburban, both heavy FQHH. Due to the feeling that the jackets, especially the Aero, are restricting me, I never wear them. Simply driving in the Aero can be a chore. I’m looking to sell the Suburban . As a result, I’ve...

    Full grain leather?

    Thanks again for the informative responses and also the welcomes. Truth be told, I’m on the hunt for a lighter leather jacket with a pattern that can offer good range of motion. I was about to launch into this topic and hijack my own thread, but I think this subject might deserve it’s own...

    Full grain leather?

    I appreciate all of the feedback. I knew it was a shot in the dark. A very long shot haha. I suppose I liked the style of the jacket and was hoping that the various markings on the leather were some indication that it was something more than it was since I was under the impression that cheap...

    Full grain leather?

    Hi all. I'm curious to see your opinions on this leather jacket. Roundtree & Yorke "100% genuine leather" Given the variations in the leather, could this possibly be full grain? Thoughts appreciated. Thanks!

    FS: Walter Dyer Heavy Brown Cowhide Jacket 42; $300 OBO

    Hi there. As it so happens, this is my first post here as well! I'm curious about the Walter Dyer brand. What jacket size do you typically wear, and do you mind giving your height and weight? Do those gusseted shoulders really help with range of motion? I've never seen a Walter Dyer in this...
