I've ea

I wanted one ever since I saw yours, its been a long time coming! Thx

I see that you used some of my ideas, added some of your own, and came up with a jacket that just simply kicks ass!!!

 

[Robbie79]

Really nice. Perfect fit. Congrats!!

 

[jacketjunkie]

Very impressed with the fit, perfect in body and sleeves, nice and trim. Certainly better than many other LWs I have seen, in particular the trim sleeves. Stu and his team outdid themselves.. congratulations!

Thats a great jacket, how do you like the deer in the wrists?
That's one of my favourite LW things.

so I love to do custom jackets with stu and I have been patiently waiting for the most recent to get here. The jacket weighs 10 lbs in 4oz hh. I have gotten nickel hardware the last two times because it matches the #10 crown. Well this time I did nos brass talon pocket sleeve zips an a diamond talon pull for a chest with the #10 crown. I like the mismatch hardware an originals mixed them sometimes. I deleted the epaulets, the badge holder, the belt loops, collar snaps. I deleted fur from cuffs also an added deer skin. I added a chest pocket which I really like. Another thing I did was add custom cuffs, i saw a langlitz jacket that had similar cuffs and wanted them instantly. I really like how it turned out. It is stiff and fitted and I think its going to break in lovely. The stitching, build, and construction are flawless, its an example of a l.w. jacket that their known for. Now pics.

I love the deerskin in the wrist way better than fur! Its a nice touch

I actually don't have a bike its unfortunate, I drive a truck daily so the jacket won't "ride up" after I break it in. Im either going to have to put my other jackets in "jail" so I can break this in, or sell them??

Perfect John! Looks great on you too.

These pockets are the one thing i dislike on my CHP, i find them unusable, they are too far back for me and i can't put my hands in them.

Can you guys measure the stitch lines that go around the pocket on yours please.
The ones going from main zipper to top of pockets are 12.5cm/4.92"
The ones going from the belt line to bottom of pockets are 6.5cm/2.55"

2”:: Bottom of pockets to top-stitch line of belt. The uppermost stitch line of the bottom hem, just above the thick portion of leather.

4”:: Top of pockets to zippers stitch line.

My short arms have no issue with the pockets. I sort of do an upright row and they then slide right in with elbows by the body/jacket. The angle of my pockets helps, they don’t seem as vertical as yours.

In The old pattern a reg. Horsehide label was used, now a trojan label is used to reflect the pattern change to a trojan repro

Great Work John - Socked that one right out of the park -- Home Run!!

I also really like the simplified CHP straight-zip less the belt loops, fur in the cuffs and with the chest pocket instead of the badge holder. Excellent specificaiton and looks like it should break in amazingly well. It will be a great "truck jacket" as already indicated too.
