Oh, I love the jacket as it is! I do agree though that a front dip is great for styles whos backlength would otherwise result in the belt not covered in the front. My next jacket is actually going to be the Aero Cossack, which is their 1930s HB pattern with the front dip. I'm making up my mind on the leather at the moment. Want something that doesn't age as quickly as CLX. Considering seal goat.

Terry, That's the best one !!..............Although The Belt Police will give you a summons and a lecture !!
Terry this 40s HH is the real deal. Really dig the back.I have not been able to get this on. Lost some weight so on it goes. This is the "real" trucker jacket. Late 40s by the zipper. Horsehide.
It was hanging there so I couldn't help myself.
True "Trucker" length.
Thanks Monitor.Class!
Thanks marmalademan. I found that in a local thrift and sadly they had the pieces scattered in different places. I'm almost positive I saw h.i.s jeans there a week or so ago, but didn't see any of the other parts. I got the other parts and realizing it was a suit went back to look for the pants. Sadly, they were gone. Not that I would have necessarily worn it as a suit, but I like to preserve the full history of an outfit if I can.@Michael A that denim blazer ensemble is a great win
Is that Trucker made from the typical mythical 4oz or 4+ horse? Cause I couldn’t imagine having to button that up on that kind of leather.LW Trucker

I browsed through Aeros Sale Page yesterday, nearly bought a jacket, but then it came to my mind I still had this one... Mendels 9+ lbs Highwayman.. spent the rest of the evening treating it with some beewax leather conditioner and wore it out today.
Lengthwise it just covers my belt, which is awful because people stare at my wide exposed navel all the time. Rather than this dandy look, I really wish it was three inch longer (which wouldn't turn it into a car coat ofcourse).
Length looks fine to me, not a grandad in sight. What's the need to condition though?
