Jackets have arrived just in time. Normally I can wear leather jacket only for one month or so in local weather and that month has passed but surprisingly there is an unusual cold front this weekend making it possible to wear leather jackets for the next three days and just so happened I got three newly acquired jackets.

Just as I guess the sleeves of the half belt have been shortened as well as the length. Oh well, it does fit me perfectly altered. There are also repair work done to the belts.

The Toyo Lewis Holster repro is a bit small for me. Still can wear but difficult to zip up.

Third one is the Sears Hercules D pocket. Photo posted in the Sears thread so I won't post again here.

Total impulse buy. An IG purchase from hoosier_clothing_store. Saw that it was a 36, reached out for measurements and next thing I know I'm sending payment...

Communication was excellent. Fast shipping. They marked the jacket as "polyurethane" w/ a low value on the shipping/import slip, which I thought was awesome. They even threw in a FW t-shirt as a gift (the one I'm wearing in the photo). Overall great seller if anyone is ever interested in buying from them. I had a really great experience.

I've always wanted a jacket that has a collar like this ever since I saw a picture of old vintage Californian years ago. RMC made a reproduction of that Californian jacket. @tmitchell59 had/has that RMC jacket. Bootleggers had a version of this jacket in goatskin back before they were called FW. Besides those two, I can't think of any other makers that made a jacket that has this exact collar. I think it's pretty cool and unique.

As @dudewuttheheck can attest after owning his for a while, this deerskin is SO soft. Fit is pretty snug, but despite that it's instantly one of my most comfortable jackets. Loving this thing! Onto the pics.

Looks like a great fit!
Do they actually have a web page? I went to the instagram, tried hoosierkyoto.blogspot.japan/ and nada.

Thanks, saw the IG page already, .com was what I was looking for.
Got it. The website seems to be a blog more than a store. I would recommend direct messaging them through Instagram if you want to purchase. I'm sure it'll be a lot easier that way.

That looks fantastic. You will love the deerskin. I don't doubt that it will be the go to jacket...it really wears like a sweatshirt so comfortable.

I still kick myself for not purchasing one of the Bootleggers one last year for under $700 and another recently but money money.

Thanks. That’s such a great way to describe the deerskin. Along with the super soft felty type of moleskin lining, it really wears like a sweatshirt.

What size do you wear? I see them come up every so often. Next one I see one, I’ll send it your way.

Thanks man. The cut on this one is really nice. It doesn’t have the weird rounded shoulders that the Caboose, Mulholland, LaBrea have. It is simple yet has some really intricate details.

Unbelievable. It looks like it was made to measure. And then deerskin too. My envy is with you. ;)
