Here is a little Worship:

Relatively related, here's a very interesting Perfecto / Trucker jacket mix from HD.

I really like that Jacket. There are a lot of interesting Jackets out there. I have to walk a way from a lot of stuff. I just have too many. I like the upper pockets on this one.

Is this Crazy? I think the Cycle Champ is the coolest of the Vintage Harley labeled Jackets. There is a beautiful one in HH on ebay. But they are just in small sizes. They are my favorite.

Cycle Champ is the coolest! I love it too, and the Cycle Queen too of course. But they're always priced insanely high. They go for even more than Buco's even though they're not remotely as popular or even known. Luckily, there's an excellent alternative made by a several Canadian makers, most notably Brimaco and Wind Cheater. But HD made the coolest one, yeah. The one with the large flap pocket is also cool, don't know what it's called. Around the same time as the Champ.

If you ever decide to clear some space there, that guy in the shrine may wanna be interested in another worshiper. Hell, trucker from LW would instantly take care of this particular itch.

I see so much and I buy too much. I plod along and keep getting older stuff and never quite sure what is worth what. This seller on the LW Trucker also had a Brown Levi Style for sale in size 40. It also sold on one or two bids. I don't recall seeing any others turn up second hand. Other LW stuff but not the Truckers.

I look at the Levi stuff, I get close and loose interest. I don't know much about it. The newer stuff is very confusing. I like the Schott model better than the new Levi. It has a substantial look to it.

I don't see the older ones like this leather too often. Most of the older jackets are in the rough out look. I've had a few chances though the yeas to buy those , just didn't.

There is one on etsy that looks to be older than this example and much less condtion and price about the same.

I've got my eye on an oddball, but it won't fit if I do get it. There are some interesting takes on the theme. They just don't fit. I've got enough cool jackets that don't fit.

I got a Levi's-store in the next bigger city, here. But, I would NEVER pay 399,95 EUR (!!) for their black buffalo-leather type III-jacket. ;)

But, I'm still looking around after a nice new type III-cord jacket. I like these hazelnut or especially the burgundy-ones, as you can see at Amazon and so on. But Levi's will not get my money.
And I'm prefering the type III-jackets without a sherpa-collar. :)

Does correct fit and sizing seem to be an issue with LW? Some time ago I purchased and tried on a biker jacket - according to the stated measurements it should have fit well but when I tried it on it was at least 2 sizes too small. Since then I have sort of dismissed LW even though the jackets look great on the website.

My experience with 5 LW jackets is they are as close to stated size as anyone is making.

This jacket is a good example. It is marked as a 42 and fits like one. i had this style in a 46 and it fit like a 46. If I ordered the Trucker new from LW I would get his 44.

To me Biker jacket (Double Rider/Perfecto Style) are not an easy fit no matter the brand. If that is the style you are talking about.

sizing hasn't been an issue for me with LW jackets.

For Lost World's there are two jackets that I advise a "size up".
The J23 and the J100 both are a classic old school slim fit and require a size up.
