    Lost Worlds G1 - anybody had one?

    I have a M422 from goodwear and you talk about the most supple leather EVER!! I got the M422 because the G-1s are really common and I much prefer the reddish/purple lining to the ever present brown lining on the G-1's.

    M422a Interior Finish

    What ever you get it sounds like You NEED a mid winter jacket. Not a Heavy winter like the B-3 or a light jacket like the A-2. You want something like a B-6. Since you want the fur collar that would work and have the lining you want. OR you can get your M422 and layer underneath, like a...

    B-3 vs. D-1: Which One Is The Best?

    Depends on where you live. Here in the Mojave the B-6 is fine or my M422A. But when I go to the mountains and it snows 8 feet in 3 days while I am up there for the holidays the B-3 (goodwear) is the only choice.

    Anyone have experience with US Authentic?

    I had a USAuthentic A2 I bought from them. Nice jacket for the price. Hide was nice. Lining was nice but the snaps and clip werent that authentic and thats where they save money. It was bullet proof however. The horsehide was very thick. For $1000 you should be able to get a nice Eastman B-3...

    Real McCoy's B-3

    I agree with Andrew, I have a Eastman B-3 and Andrews B-3 is an order of magnitude more luxurious. My Eastman B-3 doesnt have that much contrast in the seams, the ELC being more of one color. That Jacket Andrew looks very much like John Chapman made it with a longer shearling and a deeper more...

    Leather Jacket for Heavy Outdoor Use

    Based on your requirements and my intense familiarity with the Sierras I would suggest any shearling jacket that is short on your waist. Your going to be riding a horse so you have other things below your waiste like saddle bags etc. You can buy a B-3, or a ANJ-4 or an Irvin. As you know, you...
