That one is 99% too small for me and it was relatively cheap! I will keep you posted. The design is exactly what I've been looking for, so I had to try!
That Lakeland is cool! You could always try to stretch it like @Marc mndt did

The thought had occurred! The liner is the only thing. I’d hate to shred it.That Lakeland is cool! You could always try to stretch it like @Marc mndt did
The Original belts seldom show up. You do see this model, but not the belt. These are fine jackets.Waiting on this California Sportswear jacket which looks in pretty much deadstock condition

Is this an original belt? I thought they came with one of these. Or did this particular model with the patch pocket have a different belt? Those rivets do perfectly match with the snaps on the jacket.The Original belts seldom show up. You do see this model, but not the belt. These are fine jackets.

The 10% just got me. Hope mine looks as good. Can't wait.
Wonder what kind of vests they will have for WW 3 ?Just in time for summer we have a WW2 C-3 Aviator's Vest
It washed up nicely. Trying it on this morning I’m going with a lazy Cossack fit. With a faint hint of Bea Arthur.that green is cool

I took delivery yesterday of my horsehide Lost Worlds vintage trench and it is everything I thought it would be and more! Stuart was wonderful to work with and accommodating when I inquired about changing the size of the coat shortly before it went into production. The fit is absolutely fantastic and the grain of the hide is unlike anything I've seen before, total old world vibe! This weekend I'll take some nice photographs I don't want to post anything here that wouldn't do it justice.Hello! First time caller, long time listener here.. this forum has been a great resource but I figured I would finally make an account as I may have something to contribute... About three years ago now I bought a Buzz Rickson William Gibson horsehide peacoat, I had been eyeing it for a while and thought it was long sold out until one miraculously appeared for sale. I snatched it up only to be evisceratingly disappointed, particularly in the 'tea-core' finish of the hide which quickly became a mottled brown mess! The coat fit nicely and the construction is great but I just couldn't get over such a cheap looking finish on a supposedly premium product.
The search thus continued and I last year acquired a very lovely Made in UK 'Indian Motorcycle Co.' half belt in a pitch black chrome tanned steerhide. Around the same time I stumbled upon LOST WORLDS and resolved that, though I would continue plumbing used listings.. the answer would probably in the end be Lost Worlds. Now I've just wrapped up the process of spec'ing a coat with Stuart and should have it in 4-6 weeks, I'll certainly post some photographs here when it comes in! In the meantime I'm hoping to move this Buzz Rickson.
Man you are clearly in shape, there is no way I could pull off jackets as tightly fitted as you wear. Mind you, I like a bit of room to move and layer and so slightly looser fit is just me. Fantastic green!It washed up nicely. Trying it on this morning I’m going with a lazy Cossack fit. With a faint hint of Bea Arthur.
