Ah a fellow jacket collector.
I really do like that one in the fifth photograph-It looks like it could be an RRL?
Though I haven't seen that particular one before..
Really very nice.
Someone on another Roughout thread posted a photo of the "Roughout Rancher" by Rugged West,which is a 'cheaper' type 3 trucker..I ordered one & it arrived yesterday - one of the poor quality buttons promptly fell off the cuff..snaps would of been better..I'll head over there in a minute & mention that so that anyone considering buying one is aware.
The lady there,Leilah,was very helpful & friendly though & she amended my order to a larger size just as it was about to ship.
I might try & use super glue & baking soda to glue the button heads better into the 'stalks' (Will have to research the correct term).

You’ll never get glue to hold a riveted button. Better to simply replace it. Maybe replace them all. It’s a very simple process. Literally could do the whole jacket in a matter of minutes.

Was that question directed to me? The fifth photo is a Vanson Cheyenne. Got it from @Al 916

Hi,yes I was referring to the short trucker in the fifth photograph ..I did look on Vanson's site but I didn't see anything like that there..
I like short trucker jackets,not long ones.
I did a search & saw the Vanson Maverick,but the Cheyenne is way nicer..& pretty rare too..at least here in the UK

Hi,yeah that did occur to me,a little belatedly it must be said..
I watched a YouTube video on replacing Stud & Tack buttons (I think that's the correct term) & ordered some from Amazon..
I forget exactly what tool the Youtuber used to pry the original buttons loose..I'll do a little more research before attempting the job.
I really prefer snaps Tbh..like on the Y2 Roughout trucker..
The amount of money I've wasted trying to get the ultimate jacket is ridiculous..
I have a list of jackets that I was planning to sell on eBay to recoup some of what I spent..I guess I could offer the best ones on here too,see if anybody is keen..(got a couple of Eastman's (a 44" B3 & an ANJ),a Cockpit USA B3,an Aero custom C.H.I.Ps & so on & so forth).
My gf made me promise not to buy anything else after that Simmons Bilt Ranch Jacket & the Black Bear Rough-Rider..
She gets much of her stuff from charity shops so the guilt was getting to me anyway..
I had a 1960's Roughout Levi's type 3 & a Schott which I donated to her wardrobe as they were a little small for me.
And I've this kind of thin goat Roughout Alston style affair (pic) which I decided to size down on,is a keeper & the Drake's Roughout shirt (in my profile pic)

Yep, Vanson does no longer offer the Cheyenne as a standard model. They might do it as a custom order but I don’t know for sure.
