I've only worn for a few hours. You have to be aware of the back belt catching on things. Other than that I don't notice it. The adjustment pokes another couple of holes through the belt. I will adjust as needed after some wearing time.
I have a Freewheelers denim early style with the same belt.
I first saw High Large posted here several years ago. I was in love! This is a different leather than my Fine Creek. I bit less stiff, which is fine with me. Size 44 fits fine.

I'm so intrigued by Cals. How many do you have? Don't suppose you have an instagram where you display them as well?
Just a couple and a few Al's straight and X.

I picked up a leather trucker jacket for work a few days back, I hope some of you could give me more info about it … I know very little other than it fits pretty well as a work jacket and seems bombproof, it’s a similarly style to a waxed Levi’s and a blanket lined Carhartt I own. It was sold as Horsehide but I really have no idea as there aren’t any tags other than what is shown.

Expert? No way. But I’ve had a few. Hard for me to opine w/o a better view of the hide. Also, Is it heavy or more medium weight? I’d say 70s, but maybe a bit earlier. Main zip and teardrop pulls sorta point to that timeframe too. Message me some more pics if you want. Beetlejuice out.

@Adamonthetools looks like a late 80s or mid 90s jacket.
Leather ones are hard to come by.
Lee introduced hand warmer pockets to the Storm Rider after 1986.
Nice find!

My wife would kneecap me if I sold it.
I’ll check out the Cal pics in a bit. Beautiful jacket.
Teardrop talons =70’s-80’s.
Thanks Ton and JMax.
Guy I got it from said he bought it for his job from Star Leather in '81.
A completely different (reminds me of riding elephants) hide) to the Stealth, it sort of doesn't feel '80s. It might be getting a bit of an Obenauf's tomorrow. (not sure how it will take it (It looks thirsty) tester first).
