These boots look good amd fit good. Leather feels a bit cheq0 but im use t9 redwings and thorogood boots. Let's see how they wear in.

I'm surprised how well-made this jacket turned out. It's heavier / more substantial than I expected (they're not kidding about 14 oz heavyweight) and the details are executed well. There's an internal (not mentioned in description) & external chest pocket, zip cover, triple stitching along the body and sleeves, waist pockets are properly positioned and sized, the elastic in the cuffs and waistline feels very strong, lining is comfortable and fit is awesome. The distress details aren't quite as pronounced on my jacket (the cuffs are much more intact), but I prefer it this way.

I'm 6'1 & 180lbs and Jimmy recommended a Large, which fits great. I could have sized up to XL for an oversized fit (similar to the model photos), but I prefer this more form-fitting size. I think the upper limit for sizing is probably around 6'3-4 (if in decent shape) and about 230lbs (maybe more with very athletic build).

The price feels reasonable for the quality; you can definitely get similar styles for less from more accessible brands, but this jacket nails the details and doesn't feel like it's cutting any corners. There's even Talon zippers, which were the gold standard before YKK stole the market.

Between Jimmy's customer service and the overall quality, I think it's a great jacket for the cost. It's definitely a new favorite for me and will get more usage than my other jackets.

Thank you again Jimmy!

This is a type II horsehide leather jacket with copperized buttons. Fit is 2-3 sizes bigger than EU-sizing. I wear L and am happy with 3XL in this jacket.
Smell was nice but not intense. The leather is very smooth, not too thick. Breaking in will shape the jacket, but it was comfy from the start. Workmanship is solid. Be aware that the pure black version is NOT tea core but grey core, which will still age but not develop the brown patina. It will fade to grey in rugged parts. I wore it in rain which went fine and made the leather even more appealling.

This is a well made jacket for $200.00.
Can't wait to see how it ages.

This model was my second CoR jacket purchase, imnmediately after buying the other CoR J-100 design (also horsehide, albeit with only the outer chest zip-pockets). I was so instantly blown away by that one, I bought this one because I was intrigued by its uncoated nature, that I had to have it. Jim, CoR's awesome Customer Service Ambassador, made certain that mine came from the same maker as my other J-100, and fit, quality, i.e., stitching, paneling, hide consistency, etc., are all perfectly on-point. I can't say enough positive things about CoR and Jim. Thank you, CoR Team!

Surprised to see it actually fits well and the quality is good. I also have a Schott 618 for comparison. Definitely double check on sizing as western sizing is not the same as Asian sizing.

Very nice shoes, better than expected actually and Jimmy from their customer service side is very friendly and helpful

Very good quality leather jacket! Very thick horsehide that will need some wearing in, but that's half the experience. Look and fit are fantastic. Great jacket at a great price! I'm 6 foot, 90 kgs and am wearing 3xl.

Great boot

For the price, I wasn't sure what to expect, but when they arrived I was pleasantly surprised. Construction is solid, stitching is perfect - lighter than an engineer boot and very comfortable. Leather is lighter than some better known brands, but still substantial enough for them to stand on their own. Asked for unconstructed toe and this was modified for no extra cost. Overall, a great pair of boots!

My first buy from Crush on Retro. The quality of the leather, and of the jacket itself blew me away. And not just at the price, it's simply a very handsome and very well made jacket... period. Stylistically true to the Barnstormer jacket it's inspired by.

I’m honestly very impressed with this jacket. The horsehide leather feels thick, durable, and high quality (around 1.4–1.5 mm), which is something you usually only find in much more expensive jackets. It arrived quite stiff at first and even had that classic leather squeak, which to me is a great sign of real, dense leather.
The cotton lining is very comfortable and breathable, and the corduroy in the sleeves is a really nice touch – both practical and stylish. You can tell this isn’t just a fashion piece, but something built to last and develop character over time.
For the price I paid (around €320), this is an amazing deal. It feels like a true heritage-style jacket that will only get better with wear. Highly recommended for anyone looking for real leather quality instead of thin, soft fashion leather.

I’ve had multiple work boots over the years. This is the most well made ones I have. I have wolverine 1000 mile boots, Danner Tans, timberlands. These are the elite of elite. The Horween leather is a bit stiff on this shoe which is a great thing for breaking in over time. The kiltie is an awesome touch. One thing I loved is they made them to order for me. And the price of these were extremely reasonable!

I bought these thinking I was taking a bit of a risk, but just got them today and they’re fantastic. The quality is evident; 270 stitch down welt, thick midsole, and Vibram soles. For custom shoes these are a great deal. I’m very pleased with these shoes!

Just received my lot 557 trucker horsehide leather jacket from Crush on Retro and it arrived in 7 business days with standard shipping which was very quick and the jacket was beautifully packaged. The quality of the horsehide is amazing and the stitching is strong and precise. I am around 170lbs and 5 ft 10 tall and I purchased a size XL which fits me perfectly thanks to Jimmy who got my body measurements and recommended a size XL.. I am normally a US size 40 medium. The jacket sits perfectly just a touch below my waistline and is snug around my body. This jacket looks amazing and I can't believe how well constructed it is for the price. Thanks Crush on Retro for a top quality leather jacket
great customer service and fast shipping.
