Navetsea thanks so much!!!!

Now that you mentioned it you're right about the cutting perhaps https://www.carnivoressoul.com/
Is a better deal as its heavier but at a similar price.
it has cool back pocket corner embroidery in red thread in the shape of tiger head or other symbols for their special releases, I also haven't tried, I like their arc enough to not apply thread ripper instantly, just haven't tried yet since I'm a new convert

so far I have tried WWco in their EX series 21oz, very nice, it has lining on the yoke, and the hardware rivet button are very nice or perhaps the nicest of indonesian brand I've seen or seen picture of. also the nicest looking arcuate in my personal opinion, the pants itself is nice, mine was bought undersized totally my own risk, so I don't know how they supposed to fit when bought true to size, mine fit slim on me, slightly taper toward the leg bit more modern.

BMU brand I also tried also have nice arcuate, and their cut is more straight bigger leg opening with sailor theme a bit much toward its sailor theme.. but mine fits fine, shrank alot nearly became too short after washing, their web is gone though

there are lot more brands exist in instagram, once you add one probably other would be suggested to you, that's how I found most of them.

That looks great!
What is the bottom hem measurement of your size L?
Do you still think these are better than IH quality wise?
Bottom hem is about 20-20.5”. As far as a plain dark indigo goes I do prefer it over IH. Construction is not as good as IH and for any other color (overdye or black) IH wins hands down. I’m just not a huge fan of IH’s “hairy” indigo selvedge.

Carlos,
I briefly owned the Brave Star version of the Lee Rider jacket. I also own the Iron Heart version of this jacket, as pictured in the photo above by Monitor. Both jackets fit very similarly, as if they were made from the same exact pattern. I would agree with Ton that the quality of the Braveheart was not quite up there with IH, but it was a perfectly adequate jacket and it cost less than half the price of the IH.
