Does anyone own the original gambler here that can post some pics? Im curious how the color has changed. I have the v2 with the liner and sheepskin collar, but really regret not picking up the original.

Funny you mentioned the Gambler. One of the buffalo nickle button shanks just broke on mine. I remember that being a common complaint.

I fortunately havent had that happen to any buttons yet, but I do always hang onto the extra buttons just in case. For some reason I have big pile of hang tags as well. Moving into warmer weather I find myself really wishing they would do another version of the gambler as that would be perfect in the PNW for cool evenings.

I just ordered some buffalo nickel buttons off amazon. The one that broke is front and center of the jacket. I think I'll move one of the buttons from the waist up and put the replacement there depending on how they look and how much of a PITA it is to detach/reattach. They're not sewn on but rather held on using leather ties.

Beautiful. Thanks for posting. If anyone knows of one in medium that isn’t getting the love it deserves, feel free to let me know. Thanks again Zippy.

That's a great wallet!

That leather jacket ain't too shabby either.

The original Gambler jacket is probably one of the best RRL pieces they ever did. I really regret not getting one. I have the Mendoza jacket from a couple years later that I love, but I'm not sure it's as good as the Gambler.

Great pics of your jacket! It's beautiful.

I live near the Melrose store and it is indeed boarded up. I was told that every single item in there was taken. Everything. My dog's daycare is across the street from it, and then even looted the couple hundred stuffed animals and squeaky toys lining the walls up front.

They have insurance, but still, it’s sad. Looting <> BLM

Looting doesn't equal Black Lives Matter. Don't put that propaganda on this board man. Looters have nothing to do with this movement. Those are opportunists, anarchists and agitators. Black people are fighting for their rights, not a pair of selvedge denim.
