Fan favorite by Lee Trevor, their magnum opus & the best piece they've ever came up with - As the assholes over at Standard and Strange would put it, a subtle but brilliant update (read: blatant copy) of the Lee J101 leather trucker.
Seeing how Vivism is selling their 90's lambskin faded trucker for 10 grands (one that's sh1t at that), I figured what exactly is stopping me from selling an actual 90's leather trucker (one that's actually not sh1t) for just as much? Common sense, that's what so I won't be asking $10K for this jacket. I ain't asking for $5,000, no - This jacket can be yours for just $279.99! Plus shipping. Paypal, F&F.
Seriously though, I don't think there is a significantly better leather trucker alternative out there - Or at least I didn't see it, other than Vanson Cheyenne.
Lee Trevor used to do what Vivism is doing now, make insanely priced knock-offs of classic styles, only in the best possible material you could buy.
Made from an artificially aged, heavy, thick, full-grain and overall highest quality, vegetable tanned leather, the jacket features all the standard 101J details; Two chest pockets, two lining pockets (one zippered), waist adjusters, etc. Fully lined in pure cotton drill. What else..? Oh yeah, double snap cuff closure, for cuff width regulation.
Wish I could properly describe how beautiful the leather is. Massive natural grain and character, very sturdy, no acrylic-finish and the faint rosy smell that comes from vegetable tanning.
►CONDITION
Barely worn and pretty much as new!
There's just 1 cm across pinch under the left arm (see photos), which will definitely even out with wear & it's not damaged or nothing but I gotta point it out, considering the jacket indeed does seem to be worn like twice.
►FIT
Fits a bit 90's boxy but nowhere near obscenely so & the exact numbers are...
• Chest width (P2P): 60 cm / 23.5"
• Shoulders width -_-;: 52 cm / 20.5"
• Waist width (max.): 52 cm / 20.5"
• Sleeve length: 59 cm / 23"
• Back length (w/o collar): 59 cm / 23"
►MISC
Why am I selling it if it's so cool? At 59 cm, the sleeves don't even reach my wrists. And this is my 2nd attempt at this jacket, how much I love it! Oh well...
Any questions? HMU. Shipping from EU. Thanks!
Oh, and if you want to see this jacket in action, @tmitchell59 (I hope Terry won't mind me linking to this video) made a Youtube vid of the same jacket, only in XL, so check it out here...
