The time factor makes sense as just about everything going UPS is taking twice as long inside the US. I can just imagine going to the UK would take longer.
You really have a nice one there. I have not seen that lining for quite awhile. I had an LW J-27 with the same Red/Black lining about 10...
You might check out ebay for Womens Harley Jackets Made in the U.S. ( the imported ones are crap) My daughter has one she wears that has some similarities to Schott and other brands that is a decent Steerhide. Here's a shot I made of her wearing it before she went underway on the cutter she was...
Here are 4 different Bike Jackets I use on a regular basis pending on the weather. The wife wanted to make a few shots yesterday of my current group for posterity sake so here they are:
1. LW J-23 in Russet with green quilted lining in body and sleeves. Super warm for winter riding!
2. LW...
Yes, Aero was cleaning and repairing a 1947 Indian motorcycle jacket for a customer and decided to match the jacket completely. http://www.aeroleatherclothing.com/product-detail.php?id=63
That included the lack of snap receivers on the top collar, the lining, Indian tag and the one handwarmer...
You might try putting it on ebay, I think you could easily sell it there. I would emphasize it's spring / summer wear as well as it's historical replication from 1947.
The green quilted is warm to me. I have used this jacket for winter riding with 3 different bikes over the years down to the low 30’s at around 60 mph. It helps that the sleeves are lined with the quilted lining too. Note the quilting is much tighter than the black. This has been my winter...
Here are a couple of shots showing some linings I have procured from Lost Worlds over the years. The Green quilted lining is exceptionally warm and this jacket has it in the sleeves as well. It wears well too as I have owned this jacket for about 7 years. The black quilted lining on the J-24 has...
The main zip is crap and looks to have been changed, notice how it doesn't go to the end of the lapel. Also the jacket looks a little off to me.
I have owned a couple of those early jackets that I purchased for my wife and daughter and the leather was very light weight. They were ok but let...
Good for you Jon! The way the collar lays alone makes this one of the best LW's I ever owned. You should post some fit pics of this jacket off the classified section in a new thread so everyone can see.

It’s about 10 years old and was ordered with the thickest horsehide Stuart had available at the time. The jacket was considered a grail jacket by myself and was not worn that much over the years. It is in excellent condition.
You probably are best at a size 48. I am a 44 / 46 and have 2 size 46 J-23's and 1 size 44 J-24. The 46 fits best as the 44 is cut slim from the chest to the waist. I would imagine you would enjoy wearing the 48 a lot more unless you prefer not zipping up your jackets. Sleeve length can be...
It's standard sized. No Customization. Bear in mind like the original Windwards there is a bit of elastic on the sides in case you need it. Overall it's a lovely jacket. I am only letting it go because I have another jacket on the way in.
Wow! That is good to know. I bought mine off his sale site many years ago. It was a 46 and fit perfect except at the waist. I friggin loved that jacket but could not ever get it to fit execept by suckin it in so much I could not breathe. I even tried to ride one day wearing it but just would not...
But the Leathertogs is a lot shorter than the J-23's. I had one for several years but sadly had to let it go as I would have had to start running a 10K daily for 6 mos to get the damn thing to fit around the waist.
