I got this jacket back in 2001 from Lee Keppler and to my knowledge, it was a second or something back then. It was a 42 made to measure and I guess it didn't fit.
Anyway, I don't wear it much, it doesn't fit me that well either, but I thought I would take some pics to share.
Note the leather though and some of the texture.
Here are the rest

Re: An older G&B
Interesting jacket. It looks fairly 'Bantu Wind' like in design other than strap anchoring

Great jacket although I don't see much more texture (or "different" texture) than a USW I got last summer or other standard leathers. Looks nice and soft, though.

That may be. I was just noting the texture in comparison to some of the smoother offerings out thereRaider S wrote:Great jacket although I don't see much more texture (or "different" texture) than a USW I got last summer or other standard leathers. Looks nice and soft, though.

An earlier version of the pockets too. More LC than raiders, almost square with long flaps. Rundquist had a jacket that looked like this too - a prototype, perhaps... A nice thing.

I don't know the full history of it, I know that there were changes made to their pattern after this jacket. I am not sure what changed though.CM wrote:An earlier version of the pockets too.
