Is he selling his entire closet?

Menlo copy about to be released. Unfortunately this guy is really passionate about Bond films but knows little about jackets. Since the original isn’t great, this is only going to be worse. Still, I’m glad he’s out there doing his thing (and the Matchless, Tom Ford, Varvatos and Y3 jackets he does are actually pretty awesome)

Unfortunately sold. I have not seen a Kit Karson like that, ever. Wow. Hopefully someone here got it. Or it could show up in Japan for 5x. PS - It was a Kit Carson, before they were forced to change it to Kit Karson for copyright reasons. My only consolation is that it was way too big for me.

VTG 40S 50S MENS L KIT CARSON WOLF HORSEHIDE LEATHER MOTORCYCLE BIKER JACKET | eBay

Very sick leather motorcycle jacket. No major flaws just regular wear. Leather is still buttery. Not thick or stiff. Very wearable and comfortable. I’d say it fits medium/large. Measurements are provided in the pictures, any additional questions please feel free to contact me, thanks for looking!

I am sure as a massive company they couldn't really care less but you'd think Levi's would be smart to try and actually re-release the real thing considering there's clearly a market for it. Would love to get a chance to see it myself but no way is the original worth $1k+.

Would also love to find the real deal matchless one but oh well.

It’s not a style that appeals to me and I’ve read (on this forum) that the pattern and quality is not good. I do wonder what sort of following it would’ve had if it wasn’t shown in that film.

Would also love to find the real deal matchless one but oh well.

I own the Royale version of the Marchless, after having handled the original and I prefer the repro! The suede is more robust and less flimsy/thin/soft, it doesn’t have branding on the sleeve and I prefer not having collar hooks to get in the way.
