The Appalachian --  a Lost Worlds benchmark reproduction of a classic 1950s vintage riders jacket.

Uniquely featured:

- Extended/Biased Lined Chest Zipper

- Commercial Flight Jacket-inspired Welted Lined Chest/Handwarmer pockets

- Rear Zippered Lined Biswing Pockets

-100% Pure Nylon Flight Satin Lining

-100% Cotton Interlining (increased wind resistance)

Our emulation of a fascinating, cool-looking rare vintage motorcycle jacket with a dash of menace and even mystery (what are the biswing gusset pockets for?) puts it back on the road in extraordinary proprietary Lost Worlds Chrome-Tanned American Horsehide or Steerhide (3.0-4.5+ oz., customer choice). Highest performance, water resistance, durability, beauty -- the whole package. Sewn to an elite level of craft. Better than originals.

 Our American Steerhide is tanned exactly the same as our Horsehide and is a premium high performance leather of benchmark strength, water repellency, durability and beauty. At a lower price than our famed Horsehide because there are a lot more steers than horses around and, significantly, steerhide yields more footage than horsehide. Why? Horses show range abrasions, marks, etc. so when we cut our horsehide, there's more on the floor than on the cutting table! Steerhide is the opposite. Same incredible workmanship that astonishes customers new and old. A lifetime purchase!
