I will sure try this when it's finished with it's slow drying out! Didn't realize it was the same jacket as you have too...

She’s a dang cold one in the desert this week.
3 young Bobcats getting a drink in the canal, caught a little of the last one before he disappeared.

I've owned a bunch of 60s / 70s suede truckers. Schott and Pioneer Wear made the nicest ones with the Schott having the edge because of their thick suede. I never managed to find a Levi's that had a proper fit.
This 70s Schott Rancher is as good as it gets imo.

Schott suede is the best suede for that ropen' and ridin' life.

Agreed. Schott suede trucker is by far the best I've seen. Levi's is a joke compared to it.

This could be the oldest jacket I own. The original that contemporary makers are duplicating for their high $$ reproductions.
I've thought the same with the same back adjustment I have seen on Shanhouse. These jackets were in the catalogs through out the 20s and early 30s. Probably a style made by others.

In my opinion I own some fairly nice jackets made from good quality naked cowhide . However, this early 2000’s Vanson comp weight is the nicest, heaviest hide that I have touched, felt or worn. Because of how heavy it is ….it is considered weight training when I wear it.

Getting more attached to this jacket the more it breaks in. Stiff horsehide, it’s like body armor in cold weather.

Looks like a tank, and love the toss-it-on-the-ground-in-the-elements approach haha. CXL?
Why limit myself to just one? I wore four cross-zips today!!! 
. Thought I'd amuse myself (and TFL) with a snowy comparison. It's fun to compare the cuts and fit of these 50's jackets. We won't haggle about an inch here and there fit-wise; I love them all. I welcome comments on the cuts! From left to right: Red Label Cal, Guide Master by Wolf, Kit Karson, Spiegel.

Can't fault a single one, all have their perfect little nuances, beautiful jackets. Above all, it helps that you're in top shape!Why limit myself to just one? I wore four cross-zips today!!!
