How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

I've got a Helikon M65 coming.

Every time we get hit by another weather system with a person's name I wish I had a jacket hard enough to hit back. Now I will.

Lord knows whether it'll fit. I'm expecting to have to exchange it for a smaller size.

What maker is that?

Dextro was wearing a Seattle Woolen.

Here's the original. The Freewheelers Bodie is basically a reproduction of this Seattle Woolen jacket.

y. I think it's just a movie jacket copy, it has full inside facing and closed lining where as I believe the 40s Seattle Woolen would have been lined to the zips with only a half facing up top and open back lining right? And it looks like he is recycling through the old patterns from the early Mccoy days before the split up. The guy next to Dextro also had his jacket copied before:

No, the original had full leather facing all the way down and closed lining.

I'm not sure, this back design was done by many makers and I don't believe I saw this front design anywhere in the movie.


I've identified a few makers of jackets in the movie. Here are a few.

Two Hercules. D pocket on left, iconic half belt on the right.

And of course it doesn't fit.

I ordered a Medium, which the size guide suggests is suitable for 35" to 39" chest.

I'm 39 to 40, so it should be perfect as I know they fit big.

Except the Medium is 25" P2P.

TWENTY FIVE. INCHES.

And the sleeves are not only stupidly long, but trouser-leg wide. And not just straight-fit jeans wide, pantaloon clown-trouser wide.

Back it goes.

A fit pic please before it does... as a warning to others...:)

Type 3 from lost worlds came. Super cool. First Stuart pattern that pretty much fits me. Still mulling over the fit compared to my high large.

Awesome grain as usual.

Very nice. I really appreciate the triple stitch underneath the sleeves. Usually most just do a single butterfly stitch there. For HL I would want their Wrangler design trucker.

This Taubers Trucker is in the Truck coming east. This looks to be the twin of my current Taubers trucker. My current one is a bit big, I'm thinking marked a 46. If this one fits me better be on the look out for a size 46 for sale.

This is more worn, mine is much nicer condition.

Crazy! Just realized this has a zipper and mine has snaps! I'm really excited now!

Beautiful trucker. Short back with a nice front drop, curving along your pelvic line. One of the best if not the best trucker pattern.. Mine is brown and fits me nicely.

Wow! put it on! What size is it? I came here to post a Trucker coming my way. I owned a couple of LW truckers, one to big, one to small. I have a Fine Creek too.
it's 36 but fits bigger than high large 38. Similar in the chest but bigger sleeves, bigger shoulders.

Woah nice! Older model with the metal chain, enjoy it! The leather looks fantastic!
I had one of these but it must've been a custom order because the measurements were really messed up.
Thanks! The buffalo hide does look great. Fingers crossed the jacket fits.
