CUSTOM BUCO J23 MOTORCYCLE JACKET
Russet Horsehide Leather
Genuine Alpaca Wool Lining
NOS Vintage Crown Zippers
40R
Brand New
Regular Price - $2700.00

This brilliant, masterly BUCO J23 RUSSET HORSEHIDE MOTORCYCLE JACKET 40R was one of (3) fully CUSTOM-MADE in July 2009 for an upcoming movie project. Only (2) were used, so this is available at unbelievable savings.

The regular production J23 we make is notable for its very trim fit. The movie production company specified that we add 2.5" to the diameter of the top sleeve for the starring actor, who was a lifter with large biceps. This required a full pattern modification which the production company underwrote. So if you're a guy with big upper body development, the pattern's already been paid for you to save huge $$$.

Now to the unique details -- 4.0+ LOST WORLDS Russet Horsehide Leather, simply the standard by which all horsehide is judged, even vintage jackets. Note the grain in the back shot below, before the jacket's even been worn. This is what TRUE premium Horsehide looks like. If it doesn't it ain't!

100% Pure Alpaca Wool Lining -- soft, comfortable, non-itchy, great warmth and water repellency.

NOS 1940s CROWN Military Spring-Load Front Zipper -- the Art Deco benchmark for design, beauty, action, tooling. The most beautiful, perfect zipper ever made. Like nothing else.

(7) NOS 1950s C&C (CROWN) Brass Pocket and Sleeve Zippers. The same die-cast tooling as above, scarce, sought-after. COATS & CLARK ceased zipper production in the 1960s!

Matching Horsehide Belt with Sand Cast Solid (not stamped) Nickel Domes made for LOST WORLDS in England.

Genuine Lamb Shearling Detachable Mouton Collar.

The original 1950s BUCO J23 is fanatically sought by collectors and prime examples on eBay often command outrageous sums. Duplicitous vintage merchants routinely "misinterpret" the size upwards as most originals were small sized and small fitting. The LOST WORLDS BUCO J23 reproduction easily exceeds the terrific originals in leather quality, workmanship, fit and hardware without changing a single specification (original BUCOs varied from jacket to jacket). The natural armor of our benchmark American Horsehide chrome-tanned to perfection has saved lives and limbs in major motorcycle accidents. See the descriptions on our website. Added to this is amazing water repellency -- water beads and wicks right off our hides -- and astonishing beauty. A jacket that will easily outlast you and us! American workmanship of almost unimaginable perfection and craft. You must see it to believe it.

All the while you're saving 50% over original cost!!!! A jacket of this pedigree isn't for everyone, just the knowledgeable and lucky.

CUSTOM LEATHERTOGS
Russet Horsehide Leather Motorcycle Jacket
c. WWII
Size 42R
Brand New
Reg. Price: $1650.00
Special: $1350.00
 


 


We just made this one-of-a-kind perfect copy of the scarce WWII Custom LEATHERTOGS Horsehide Motorcycle Jacket
in the LOST WORLDS COLLECTION for a European customer. It proved a little trim for the customer to layer under (he's from chilly Scandinavia), so it was returned for one size up (44R).  Accordingly, an absolutely extraordinary example of American craftsmanship is avail. @ reduced price since this is the only one we have. (We can make others but only @ Regular price, sorry, but cheap @ the price anyway.)

Our reproduction copies the original to the limit. Stout but supple signature LOST WORLDS 3.5 oz. Chrome-Tanned Russet Horsehide, unduplicated anywhere. Peerless strength, beauty and water repellency. A vintage motorcycle design done our way for the ages.

Heavyweight 100% Pure Rayon Satin Lining; 100% Cotton Drill Interlining; Black Deerskin Wrist Facings; NOS Nickel Talon Zippers; Die Cast Nickel Belt Buckle and Trim Bars.

Sizing is a true 42R, w/ 25.25" Sleeve Length, for guys, 5'8" - 6'2", weight 160-185 lbs.

We could go on and on about how proud we are of this custom recreation but the pictures speak for themselves. For the guy who knows (and cares), this is truly a special opportunity.
 





   
CUSTOM B-2 FLIGHT JACKET
Black Horsehide
Alpaca Wool Lining
NOS Crown and Talon Zippers
Size 44R
Brand New
Reg. Price: $1500.00
Special: $1150.00

 


 The B-2, issued from 1931-33, then replaced by the famous B-3, is truly a unique design. We make most of them in Russet Horsehide, per the original AAC issue, but through the years customers have ordered them in stout but supple 3.5 oz. Black Horsehide, like this fully CUSTOM gem, both for motorcycle use and visual oomph! One bold, arresting American classic, challenging to sew, but executed by our LOST WORLDS craftsmen to standards that shock and awe, pleasurably so of course. Marvel at the intricate double-stitching throughout this masterly jacket whose performance and longevity humble pretender jackets that look the part, to the uninitiated, but crumple, crease and fold under loads or in mishaps on the road. In a LOST WORLDS jacket form and function are indivisible. So unique and cool equally at home on boulevard or atop blacktop.

This perfect, BRAND NEW example was  made December 2009 but the customer decided a 42R would suit him better so we're able to offer this 44R @ a great price.

Specified were NOS vintage American military zippers. The Front Zipper is the scarce & "cult-worshipped" WWII-era #9 Military CROWN Spring Load (@$250.00), simply without an atom of hyperbole the peak of Art Deco American fastener machining and operation. CROWNs were die-cast and the fineness of the teeth and unduplicated smooth action are more like jewelry than industrial fasteners. The detailing on the spring-loaded Slider is Art Deco at its finest.

For the Sleeve Zippers NOS 1950s TALON Black Oxidized Finish Copper #5 Military Zippers (@$25.00), themselves flawless examples of American tooling and durability, now, alas, long gone.

As in all our B-2s, the beautiful Lining is 100% Pure Alpaca Wool, soft, non-itchy, superb comfort, warmth, water repellency.

The Collar 100% Curly American Lamb Mouton.

The attached Belt Buckle is Die-Cast Nickel, made in England to our specifications.

Brass Original Rau Nipple Snaps.

CUSTOM BUCO J23 MOTORCYCLE JACKET
c. 1950s
Cream Goatskin
NOS Vintage Wool Plaid Lining
NOS Vintage 1950s Crown #5 Brass Military Zipper
NOS Vintage 1950s Talon #5 Copper Military Black Oxidize Finish Pocket/Sleeve Zippers
Matching Belt
Detachable Mouton Collar
Size 44R
BRAND NEW
Reg. Price:     $2410.00
Special Price: $2000.00

 

We did this amazing, one-of-a-kind Custom BUCO J23 MOTORCYCLE JACKET for the customer who seeks an ultimate LOST WORLDS jacket without equal anywhere, past or present. A jacket that exemplifies the peak of our ability to provide a motorcycle jacket that functions both as super-durable riding equipment and stunning, stylistic heirloom of unbelievable American craftsmanship.

To this end we sourced materials of both finite and limited availability from our stocks of NOS vintage hides, zippers and linings.

The leather -- mind-boggling, perfect 3.0+ heavyweight Cream Goatskin, tight-grained, supple yet with an underlying firmness and body. You just have to see and feel it to believe how perfect this Goatskin is. And we only had enough for a single jacket, this masterpiece. While our Horsehide is rightly acclaimed as the world standard, primo Goatskin takes second place to no other hide. Original jackets from the 1930s and 1940s were often made in Goatskin and the wonderful dense grain adds much to the jacket's visual signature. LOST WORLDS Goatskin is  lauded highly by enthusiasts.

The lining -- NOS Vintage 100% Wool Red/Dark Green Hunters Plaid, dating to the 1950s. Period-exact. Heavyweight. Made for use, not decoration.

The zippers -- in front a super-scarce NOS Brass #6 Spring-loaded Crown with the sought-after ornate Art Deco slider casting. For the pockets and sleeves virtually unobtainable NOS #6 Talon Copper zippers in military black oxidize finish with bell-shaped sliders. These were originally made for bank cash bags in the 1950s!

Genuine 100% Lamb Shearling Detachable Collar.

Matching Goatskin Belt with sand-cast (not stamped) Nickel Domes and Smoothed Spikes made for us in England.

Artistry of this caliber and exclusivity doesn't come cheap. Nor should it. That said, this is a bargain if rarity, beauty and historical authenticity are the criteria.  It isn't for everyone, it's for the guy who knows and cares, the LOST WORLDS customer, that is.

Sizes 38-48R

Reg. Price: $1975.00
Special:      $1700.00
 

A fully Custom version of our esteemed TROJAN MOTORCYCLE JACKET, an enduringly perfect LOST WORLDS reproduction of one of the purest, most beautiful vintage jackets ever. Our goal was to make a one-of-a-kind classic using all original NOS materials and hardware from our limited stock accumulated (and offered in our custom jackets) over the years. This is the same TROJAN we sell as a regular production item except for the vintage components. But so many customers opt for vintage zippers and linings that we chose to incorporate the scarcest and most desirable in one Special Edition jacket.

The Hides -- our remarkable, ultra-heavyweight 4.0+ chrome-tanned American Horsehide, simply the best there is and, in our opinion, as good if not better than any vintage horsehide jacket, great as these were. Hides that have saved our customers' hides in many a road mishap. Like natural armor. Yet of unsurpassed beautiful grain. Natural grain, not overtumbled and tricked out. Firm but break in readily with use. Flourish in pouring rain. The ultimate motorcycle leather and available nowhere else.  Every foot of LOST WORLDS Horsehide is ours alone -- the heaviest hides are selected for us by our agents, then our tannery works to our specifications.

The Workmanship --  by a single craftsman -- will astonish you. Detailing and symmetry and balance that just are off the charts. But we're LOST WORLDS, that's what we do.

The Lining is 1950s NOS Red/Dark Green Hunter's Plaid 100% Wool. Heavyweight, durable, special. Perfect complement.

100% Black Flight Nylon Satin Sleeve Lining.

The Zippers -- in front is a NOS 1950s Brass #6 CROWN with the sought-after Art Deco spring-loaded cast slider, the ultimate. The sleeves and pockets use NOS 1950s Talon Copper #5 in Military Oxidize finish. Specially made for bank bags. Bell-shaped slider. Function, rarity and beauty.

Genuine 100% American Lamb Shearling Mouton Collar. Removable.

Matching Black Horsehide Belt w/ Nickel Die-Cast Buckle made for us in England.

Because we have the materials and components to make a few of these (unlike the Cream Goatskin at the top of the page), we're selling this at a very reasonable $1700.00 given the economic hard times most of us suffer these days. Just to help a little. To say it's a steal may surprise some, but given its unique character, that's what it is.




 


 

 

LOST WORLDS GRENFELL CLOTH TRENCH COAT

100% Cotton Gabardine
 Made in England

(1) 48R, (1) 46R, (1) 40R

$875.00

We found the last two of our unique, brilliant Trench Coats, made to our specifications in famous Grenfell Cloth, when we located several hundred yards of original material in England -- woven when the company was still owned by the HAYTHORNTHWAITE family and holders of a ROYAL WARRANT [By Appointment to her Majesty the QUEEN]. (This is no longer the case.)

This remarkable ultra-fine, ultra-high performance textile was long renowned for peerless wind  and water resistance and outfitted Hilary's 1953 Everest expedition. In WWII the US military copied its construction for use in flight suits and jackets. Gen. MacArthur was an enthusiastic devotee. Yet for all its strength Grenfell Cloth is lightweight and wonderfully comfortable, with a classic shape and drape unduplicated anywhere. Simply THE British Trench Coat, evoking the 1917 WWI originals. Since these were made to LOST WORLDS specs., we requested (of course) the classic "Lamb Chop" undercollar neck strap-and-buckle as well as multi-stitch collar stand; closed bottom pleat back (with adjustable ridng tab); genuine shell buttons; cotton plaid lining; and all the appropriate historic details to make it the coolest, most desirable, most flatteringly masculine trench at any price. These coats were acclaimed by every customer lucky enough to get one of the very limited run. After these, that's it!

 


 




EASY RYDER MOTORCYCLE JACKET 
 
Sizes 38-48Regular
  100% Wool
PRICE:  $500.00
 
We have customers who both ride and hunt so we unearthed this beautiful vintage hunting wool in distinctive woodland pattern for these guys and everyone else. The comfortable cut and perfectly functional biswing back/underarm gusset construction make our Easy Ryder a natural for road and field use. What's also nice is that when you're riding, the guy and his wife in the minivan behind you could, depending on the landscape whizzing by, mistake you for a torso-less rider. Lost Worlds gear is nothing if not fun. 100% Flight Satin Nylon Lining for additional comfort, durability and strength.



CUSTOM DOWNTOWN CAR COAT    46R   Black Deerskin. Brand New. Incomparably soft yet heavyweight American Deerskin done as car coat nonpareil, the LOST WORLDS way. Lined in durable, luxurious Silver Gray Morning Silk Satin -- for leather this unique, with matchless drape, requires a lining of similar quality lest it be diminished. The balance between the leather and the lining is always a factor. In our jackets every material and component contributes to the overall excellence and is selected without regard for cost, only for quality and suitability. The Deerskin DOWNTOWN is a coat that commands (and by a wide margin) but doesn't overstate. Yet its detailing, line and construction catch any eye with a modicum of taste and background. This is classy, cool and timeless. Brilliant price too for an all-American masterpiece of craftsman quality (or is it Snap-On quality!).

PRICE:  $1650.00



 






BUCO PJ27 MOTORCYCLE JACKET  48R Black Cowhide. Great savings on BRAND NEW 2007 spectacular Buco P27. For an overseas shop order we used a heavyweight 3.5 oz. American cowhide but in a  suppler hand than our usual cowhides and horsehides, giving both instant comfort with great performance. For these few remaining pieces (2 in each size above), we included the Optional Belt, @ no extra price. 100% Nylon Quilted Lining, Brass Talon Zippers. Unbelievable workmanship, fit and image. Matchless price for a current LOST WORLDS motorcycle classic in most desirable larger sizes.

REGULAR PRICE: $1150.00
SALE PRICE:             875.00

 




CUSTOM JEANS/MOTORCYCLE VEST   Sizes 38-48  Olive Horsehide. Brand New. We don't have enough of our gorgeous Olive Horsehide to do customer jackets but we can make a small run of vests in this hide, up to 5, we think. So another unique LOST WORLDS here for your inspection. Our heavyweight horsehide vest sparkles on the road or behind the wheel as it's really more a sleeveless jeans jacket than vest. Lined in 100% Flight Satin Nylon. Contrast stitch work. Interior snap pocket. Optional neck chain. Macho but refined as all hell. Amazing workmanship.

PRICE: $600.00




 
VINTAGE 101J-TYPE JEANS JACKET   42R  Black Horsehide. These were cut for an extremely small run for a European company. We discovered them during hide inventory and just sewed them all up. BRAND NEW.  And beautiful and rare. Lined in 100% Flight Satin Black Nylon. Copper buttons. If in fact this isn't the most exciting and visually arresting leather jeans jacket around, then it's our regular production but completely different JEANS JACKET.  Heavy, supple hides. And admire that stitching.

PRICE:  $850.00


STRADA CUSTOM JACKET    Sizes 38-48 Regular. Black Horsehide w/ Cream Horsehide. BRAND NEW. Years back we made this terrific 60s flavor racing jacket for several very high-end European shops. Using orig. NOS aluminum Talon or Scovill Zippers, with our signature 100% Flight Satin Black Nylon Lining, we designed the STRADA to have European flair in LOST WORLDS heavyweight Horsehide. European customers were amazed at the durability and firmness of our hides as well as our fantastic craftsmanship. But the jackets were very expensive. We made the STRADA as seen here and also with the so-called tab or "Nehru" collar of our EASY RYDER and BUCO RYDER. The customer can specify which he prefers. We found a bunch of already cut STRADAs, basically one or two in each size. Great jackets and really unlike the rest of our stuff in looks but not performance, build and materials.

PRICE: $850.00






CUSTOM B-2 FLIGHT JACKET  Black Horsehide. Alpaca Lining. 40. BRAND NEW. We found several cut but never sewn Custom B-2s in Black Horsehide from an overseas order that never paid. Beautiful 3.5 oz. LOST WORLDS Horsehide, genuine Alpaca lining, Curly Black Mouton Collar. Everything else is our regular B-2. These were ordered for motorcycle use and the B-2 makes an exceptional riding jacket. In the 30s flight and motorcycle jackets sprang from the same sources and highly resembled each other. As these had been already cut and we only make black B-2s as Custom Orders, you save big $$$ on a matchless LOST WORLDS jacket of amazing quality, durability, fit and finish. Just the best.

REGULAR PRICE:  $1200.00
SALE PRICE:              850.00


BUCO J23 MOTORCYCLE JACKET    Ballistic Nylon. BRAND NEW.  For years we made Ballistic Nylon versions of LOST WORLDS styles for overseas wholesale buyers. When we left that business we saved a small quantity of this material for our Retail customers. Ballistic Nylon is magically tough: it can't be torn and will reform when punctured! This is US military material but comfortable and flexible, exactly what serious motorcyclists require. The color is what we call Foliage -- the reverse side of Woodland Camo -- giving a unique, water color-like, subtle shading that resembles landscape viewed from altitude. In our famed Buco J23 it's startingly unique in the very best sense, combining 1950s design with 21st century textile wizardry. Lined in 100% waterproof military Oxford (81%Cotton/19%Nylon), soft yet tearproof. American zippers.  Interior pocket.

PRICE (as shown above):  $ 575.00
Separate Matching Belt :      75.00

Harris Tweed Car Coat
Lost Worlds Harris Tweed Car Coat
  DOWNTOWN CAR COAT  46R.  Genuine 100% Harris Tweed Wool, Gray Heather color. Morning Silk Lining. Several years back we did a tiny custom run for a Japanese company which provided this beautiful numbered, registered heavyweight Harris Tweed. We just found a small roll of leftover wool from that job and thought it would serve well in our Downtown. Which indeed it does, becoming a one-of-a-kind Lost Worlds treasure wearable anywhere. Duplicated, of course, nowhere.

GENUINE 100% AMERICAN BISON JACKETS.

After over a year of development we're thrilled to be able to introduce to our customers a new and scarce, spectacular high performance LOST WORLDS hide, available nowhere else. During the frontier era and into the early 20th century buffalo leather was prized for its warmth, durability and amazing grain. With the disappearance of the American buffalo -- thank you, Buffalo Bill! -- so went hide availability. The only buffalo skins since to enjoy commercial use have been Asian water buffalo, a leather we like very much but VERY different from true American plains buffalo.

Yet, amazingly, in one of the characteristic quirks for which history is known, American buffalo's staged a comeback. The cult popularity of buffalo meat -- esteemed for its lower fat and cholesterol -- has, as by product, allowed the hides to become available in limited supply again.

And what hides! We've had our tannery produce bison to LOST WORLDS specs. -- 5.0 oz., as heavy as our heaviest horsehide and on average heavier than most of our horse -- and was there ever a customer who thought any LOST WORLDS horsehide lightweight! (In fact "competitors" go through all sorts of hoops, all duplicitous, trying to match our weight and quality.) Yet as heavy as our bison is, we've given it a supple hand to compensate for its  weight, heft you need on a bike if the fates aren't on your side on a particular day.

Now look at the grain. Gorgeously rich and complex -- all natural. The sort of grain that other outerwear manufacturers print onto their cowhide to add character. Just staggeringly beautiful. And All American.

This bison will perform like horsehide. Great water and abrasion resistance and great shock absorption when function must override beauty to protect its owner. Not fashion, but  equipment, which is what a motorcycle jacket is as true riders know. Permanent leather. Of course that LOST WORLDS jackets are staggeringly beautiful is a nice "perk," but form and function are indivisible.

American bison isn't cheap -- try pricing buffalo steaks or bison accessories -- belts, wallets, shoes, etc. on the internet. But given its scarcity, its LOST WORLDS integrity, its uniqueness, ours, like our horsehide, is a true bargain. Not for everyone, of course, But what is? For example, this Trojan is $1350.00 + $200.00 for the belt. But try matching this it with any other anywhere for performance, beauty, craftsmanship, the heirloom quality for which we're esteemed.

We are taking Orders for existing LOST WORLDS styles in two bison colors: Black and Cognac (pictured).  Individual pricing per style, specification.

 




AMERICAN BISON BELT AND CELL PHONE WALLET

Two great accessories in our bison leather. The Belt is double-ply 5.0 oz. bison with a nickel US-made buckle. Heavy but buttery supple. The Cell Phone Wallet of identical construction with two interior Russet Horsehide dividers, allowing credit card and money stowage. Identical to our Horse Butt and Front Quarter models. Beautiful, distinctive and durable.

BELT                              $160.00
CELL PHONE WALLET     110.00


PEA COAT CUSTOM     15 oz. 100% Cotton Duck.  Dark Brown, Navy, OD, Black.  A very special and unique Custom Pea Coat design we sampled for a Japanese company but never put into production because the manufacturing costs were so high and the customer couldn't manage it. Their loss, your gain. Check out the one-of-kind details: fantastic arched button front that curves as it rises. Buttoned epaulets with oversized neck flap. Buttoned flap pockets with outline stitch. Adjustable cuffs. Cape Rear Shoulder Yoke. Lined in our waterproof military Quarpel OG lining. Really rugged, heavyweight cotton. One high-performing, tough-looking but smashingly cool and distinctive LOST WORLDS custom design.

PRICE: $525.00











PEA COAT     Sizes 38-48R   Gray Cashmere.  An absolutely stunning, peerless lightweight 80% Cashmere/20% Virgin Wool LOST WORLDS Pea Coat. Soft as down. Perfect for any occasion, from jeans to formal. Gorgeous workmanship. Silken 100% Flight Satin Nylon Lining.  We only have a single roll of this wool, enough for 7-10 coats. Compare our price for a Made In USA gem to anything else out there with comparable quality and wool. The drape of this beautiful Cashmere will garner accolades wherever you go. Yet all man, nothing effete about it.

PRICE:  $825.00








DOWNTOWN CUSTOM CAR COAT 38-48R. Black or Russet Horsehide. Years back we did a very small run of these coats for an exclusive shop. They were very expensive, made to the shop's requirements, which included large modifications to our regular DOWNTOWN. With added panels the front and back became dramatically different, making a very stylishly different coat. The rear horizontal faux belt panel is really very right. Sturdy, masculine-looking coat.  All the detail mods, in fact, worked great. Killer too is the price. We found a small quantity of already cut horsehide, long forgotten.

PRICE: $850.00


DOWNTOWN CUSTOM CAR COAT   38-48R. Dark Brown or Black Goatskin. As above but done in our lighter weight 2.0 - 2.25 oz. Goatskin for instant, unbeatable comfort and drape. No break-in here, it's buttery out of the box but no performance/durability weakling either. All materials and specs. per above. Great coat, great price.

PRICE:  $825.00

 








PEA COAT   Sizes 38 through 48 Regular. NOS Vintage 100% Wool. Years back we were lucky enough to uncover several rolls of a 1950s hunters wool. Having worn an old Woolrich hunting coat in high school through the very worst NY winters I 've always loved these gems and, in fact, still wear my original one! (Now Woolrich makes a soft, lighter weight 85 Wool/15 Nylon blend that's a far cry from the old material.) Our NOS wool is heavyweight and firm, with great water resistance, but softens quickly with use. As is our wont, we adapted this rarity to our popular Pea Coat, combining an amazing textile with equally impressive LOST WORLDS workmanship, detail and fit to render a Pea Coat alone in its class. From a casual classic for the best restaurant to shoveling snow, this splendid Pea Coat is, if not for all seasons, for most uses. Observe how the hunting plaid pattern lines up precisely in adjacent panels. This is American clothing of the highest echelon. Beautiful, masculine, assertive. And made in USA at our factory by a single craftsman, not abroad with some meaningless designer tag for dimwits who mistake labels for pedigree.

PRICE: $525.00


 
HORSE BUTT BELT   32 through 42 Waist. LOST WORLDS Horsehide is justly famous. Here's something very scarce and unusual. We sourced some vegetable tanned Horsehide Butt, thick and firm, close to 8 oz., and made this tough and distinctive belt. The tanning allows the hides to darken with age and immersion -- unlike our chrome-tanned garment horsehide -- endowing this nearly indestructible leather with great character. The edges are sewn in heavy duty US military OD Nylon threat for visual appeal. The construction, however, is single-ply -- that's how thick these butts are, which are usually used for shoe soles and welts. There's nothing like horse butt for strength -- and price. Costs a fortune. With sand-cast nickel buckle imported from the UK.

PRICE: $110.00




Horse Butt Natural Vegetable Tanned

Russet Front 1/4 Horsehide
HORSEHIDE PHONE BELT WALLET. Deplorable though the Cell Phone Cult be, we are all members, even the most stubbornly Luddite among us. Unlike, however, the high priests, those whose phones must be surgically removed from their heads -- with the instant demise of the organism -- many of us have semblances of lives in which we do things other than pursue the dream of perpetual self-absorption. Walking dogs, running, driving and manipulating. In our experience, the leather phone holders the providers provide have the strength of a Philippine condom.  When they fail the phone's often gone, unless you use the handy provided belt loop, ugly but necessary.

A second major deficiency is that we often go outdoors without a wallet yet need mobile storage: money, ID, credit card, dog biscuit (for the beast who won't come back off the leash), etc.

So we decided a durable, permanent, hand-sewn phone belt wallet in LOST WORLDS Horsehide would be a niftily handy little thing. And real good-looking too. We don't do things that aren't.

Construction: either Vegetable-Tanned Natural Horse Butt (see Belt description above) or Black or Russet Chrome-Tanned LOST WORLDS Front Quarter Horsehide. Inside: Black or Russet Horsehide-Lined, divided into three compartments, so you don't pull out what you don't want to. The belt loop is riveted to the wallet, not sewn. Military US Rau snap.

The HORSE BUTT version is heavier and thicker than the Front Quarter, which is suppler with, however, all the strength and performance of LOST WORLDS' hides. HORSE BUTT is for heavy outdoor use, like a holster, while the Front Quarter for heavy or lighter applications. Failure isn't a legitimate issue with either.

Pure function with LOST WORLDS craftsmanship and materials.

Black Front 1/4 Horsehide


PEA COAT  38 Through 48 Regular. 100% Ventile Cloth. British Ventile Cotton is revered for its wet weather performance and durability. Used by the RAF for survival clothing and bespoke outfitters for hunting and travel apparel, Ventile is, as enthusiasts know, very expensive and exclusive. When Willis & Geiger folded for the last time we bought the last few rolls of their Ventile from our jobber so this gorgeous Pea Coat, identical to our Horsehide version, is very limited. And it's entirely made by LOST WORLDS. Lined in our OG Quarpel Oxford Military Cotton, with beautiful tortoise shell buttons. It's fantastically stylish, very lightweight and detailed as only we can. It doesn't get any better or any rarer. (Or cheaper!)

PRICE: $750.00






A-1 Flight Jacket    38 through 48 Regular, Navy Camel Hair. For years we've done wool and cotton versions of our flight jackets for wholesale customers. The A-1 is a perennial favorite and works especially well in fine wool, like this 100% Camel Hair version. Our Camel Hair has a velvet, almost velour softness  yet with great rain resistance and not fragile. Just a beautiful, comfortable drape and matchless hand. Lined in 100% Khaki Bush Poplin Cotton, 100% Wool OD Knit. With its classic American trim fit and cut, this A-1 has no competition that we can think of for craftsmanship, style, quality and exclusivity. Flatters every build.

Price: $495.00




PEA  COAT   38- 48R, Black Cotton Duck. Our Horsehide Pea Coat is very popular, but for years we did a heavyweight 15 oz. Cotton Duck version for Wholesale only which continues to be highly regarded.

 We decided to offer this rugged and absolutely beautifully detailed and sewn Lost Worlds gem as a Limited Production item, avail. as the material remains. The Duck is firm (like our leather) but softens quickly with wet and use. The lining -- our superlative Quarpel finish Olive Green (OG106) military Oxford Cotton, 100% waterproof and nearly impossible to rip. Cotton Flannel pockets.

The WWII Pea Coat, preserved in form but adapted almost laterally -- the Cotton Duck is an outdoor fabric meant for rugged use (in slightly heavier weights than this dreadnought applied for boat tarps, tenting).  Add to great materials the nice "perk" of Lost Worlds American-made craftsmanship on a level all its own -- see the shot to the right. Presence, that's what our stuff has, and elegance and cool. What would these things cost if people knew our name?

PRICE: $440.00




B-15A FLIGHT JACKET   Sizes 36R through 48R. In the mid-1990s we made a handful of B-15As for an overseas shop. Due to interested queries over the years we decided to do a small run of our superb B-15As again. Collectors will appreciate our dedication to the fineries of this WWII AAF design. The shell is made of a 100% Vintage NOS Cotton US Army OG Sateen over forty years old. The lining is the fantastic woven Alpaca. 100% Genuine Mouton Collar of course and matchless 100% Wool OD Knit. Brass Talon Zipper. Genuine antique US Army melamine buttons. Original Pull-the-Dot radio cable clips. Russet Horsehide microphone tab. You'll notice that we do not reproduce an original WWII label or apply the AAF heat transfer to the shoulder. We can't afford to on the numbers of these we can make. These are for collectors and cognoscenti who know how fantastic original B15As were. Pilots routinely replaced the immortal A-2 with this warmer, more comfortable and more ergonomic flight jacket. An unbelievably rare and desirable LOST WORLDS jacket.
