Plainsman No.393F

The Plainsman was another of the styles introduced by Lewis Leathers in the early 1960's. The design was no doubt influenced by the popularity of Western style movies such as The Magnificent Seven and TV shows like Gunslinger and The Virginian. Fringed jackets faded in popularity during the mid-1960's but made a comeback again at the end of the decade with the release of the 1969 movie 'Easy Rider'.

We take pride in making our jackets to the exacting specifications of the period in which they originated.

Great care and attention to detail has been taken to maintaining the heritage and integrity of our jackets and patterns, right down to the custom made reproduction zippers and even the linings. Because of this, our jackets do not necessarily live up to the present-day riding safety standards and are not intended to do so.
