That's a serious winter jacket!Finally in low 30s so I broke out the lost worlds B3. This jacket is extremely ***bersome, maybe because it’s not broken in yet but it is a ***** wearing it in the car also sleeves seem about a half inch to short for my liking bust still get the job done I now know why airmen in the 40s switched other less ***bersome jackets. I like the quality of this lost worlds jacket but for 2100$ I think THEDI and AERO would be better bang for buck. Still love the jacket View attachment 370204 View attachment 370205 View attachment 370206 View attachment 370207

Classic!!Aero Highwayman, again.
The funny thing is this wasn't even a custom jacket. But gets the most use.

John Lofgren Monkey Boots Shinki Horsebuttt - $1,136 The classic monkey boot silhouette in an incredibly rich Shinki russet horse leather.
Grant Stone Diesel Boot Dark Olive Chromexcel - $395 Goodyear welted, Horween Chromexcel, classic good looks.
Schott 568 Vandals Jacket - $1,250 The classic Perfecto motorcycle jacket, in a very special limited-edition Schott double rider style. Without question, this jacket was made for you. I think this style suits you to the ground and frankly, it’s my favorite of all your jackets. I know it’s not “the best” but I’ll be damned if it doesn’t look it. Superb!Late 50s/60s Hercules (truth be told I can never remember what label it is as I post the pics. Pretty sure it’s a Hercules). Unremarkable, stiff leather but it has very nice slim tailoring.

The more I think about having them on the outside, the more it makes sense- certainly less risk of scratching the gas tank on the motorcycle!The zippers on the outside of the sleeve is standard for Route 66.
I actually don't have a good photo where you can see the detail well. Lol
Even though I like it on the Route 66, I had the zippers on my other jackets all done on the inside of the sleeves. It's more subtle somehow.
The zippers on the sleeves of the R66 please me from the feel extremely well. Only the threading of the main zipper is quite annoying and you have to be very careful.

Edit:
Still found photos of the zipper.
Since you just can not tell if they are outside or inside

To me it has a very similar feel to for example the RMC Buco J-100, which is regular HH. So my claim is that the pony and HH can be almost exactly the same. On the other hand I have jackets in HH, like the FW Mulholland, that have a tougher, thicker and heavier feel to it...I just received a Pony Hide Vintage jacket and ask myself if anyone uses Pony Hide. I did not now until you posted this Fields. The Old Pony can vary from being very soft to being like regular HH.
Do you notice a difference with your new Pony over regular HH?
