Stuart is always open to new ideas and projects, if it's a jacket he likes and it fits within his brand he might do it.
Link?

What is this speciel jacket you would like to get a repro, I am curious to know, as you already have so many :)

The explanation is in one picture. I will do it tomorrow. I had just seen pictures of Carlos in his Lost World, I got this new jacket, put it on, looked in the mirror, had a Vision! The jacket just looks Lost Worlds to me, like a Trojan. I saw myself wearing a new Lost Worlds!

The picture will better explain.

just stands out to me as a LW jacket. LW has many models available and probably have no lack of jackets to inspire them. This Californian looks, to me, like their neighbor in Southern California, Trojan. This jacket is a size 44 marked. Has that "square" body with broad shoulders.

I think these are the best CR style jackets bar none. The fact that they go for such reasonable prices baffles me, but is great for those aficionados that appreciate a find and a deal.

I have always believed the same about the Kehoe. Its a widely shared view that the Kehoe pattern is pretty much THEE pattern for CRs. But recently I picked up a pre AMF Harley Davidson Sportster (while label -- which I understand is later than the black labels and pre the AMF aka Brooks models) and it SMOKES every other CR I have and I have WAYYYYY too many. I currently have a Walter Dyer (maybe 2), 4 Schotts, 4 Fidelitys, 3 Brandeds, 4 Lescos, a Brooks gold label, a vintage Endura of CA and a Kehoe. The fit, the look and the leather on the HD is a great combo IMO. Excellent graining on the hide but the fit is crazy perfect for me and its actually a tagged 46 (vintage sizing). The Kehoe, the Endura and one of the Schotts were my top 3 fitting CRs. Now the HD holds the fit crown.

The Kehoe's though continue to be undervalued though. I routinely see them at very palatable prices for some reason. In most cases you WILL NOT go wrong with a Kehoe for fit, look and price. But if you can get a stab at a pre AMF HD, I highly recommend you go for it (if priced reasonably of course o_O). Great jacket I had for some reason sorta ignored. Not anymore!

Roughwear Clothing in Middleton PA is best known for their A2 military contracts. Very few of their non-military jackets show up. This Roughwear motorcycle jacket really surprised me, never seen one in the 50s crosszip motorcycle style. I have considered what companies Roughwear may have made jackets for. Very few of their labels show up.
