In the market for a Suede trucker/type 3 jacket. Looking for a lighter shade- sand, warm golden color. I wear a size 42. PM me if you have anything that’s been sitting in your closet that needs purging. Cheers!

Truckers are so easy to wear.
I tried an unlined one out the other day (just a cheap Gap) however the drape was not pleasant. I suspect a better brand would solve this (keeping my eyes out for a suede Maverick).

If anything that might suit you guys comes up this side of the water I will post in Finds.

I keep seeing older Aero Type 3 jackets on Yahoo! Japan auctions, and they are typically under $300, which I can't understand why they don't sell at that price. 42 is a bit uncommon in Japan, most are 36-40, but you will see them from time to time.

Last year when I was on the hunt for a suede trucker, I bought several, looking for just the right one, and I can probably stand to part with 1-2 of them. When I get home I can write up some description notes and send you photos.

Thanks for the link. I owned a vintage Levis type 3 suede a while back. The suede on those jacket is simply amazing...the right color, thickness, hang, etc. The only problem, and the reason I sold it- the sleeves are rediculously too short...at about 22 inches from shoulder seam to end of sleeve cuff. Otherwise, I would still own it :(

Does the jacket not drape well on me, or do I not drape well in the jacket..........

Hope it works better on you than it did on me.

Yeah, I've been looking at the Gap Suede jackets. I'd be interested to hear more comments from anyone who has owned one. I've been holding back on the Gap suede jackets, solely based on the fact that they're made in China...but maybe they would work...the price is right.

But yes, please PM me some photos and descriptions of any Type 3s that you're letting go.

Yep. Definitely looks too loose on you. A Type 3 should have a snug fit...IMHO. But it's difficult to know until you try it on...

Yeah, I think this is more on par with that 90's look... This one's from feb/2000, by the inner tag. It's a size M and looks like the XL Levi's I sold lol
The measurements are almost the same

I think the problem with most newer versions of the Type 3 is that Gap/BR/Eddie Bauer/etc. inevitably make the body way too long and wide in the waist...maybe in an effort to fit as many customers as possible. The earlier Type 3s were typically shorter and tapered in tighter at the waist- and I think they had a much better look because of it.
