How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

Yep! Saw this and instantly ordered a cafe racer from them using it. Super excited to see how this comes out. Guess probably time to sell the midnight blue I have from their original batch...

I'm not a CXL fan, but that August does look really great.

Denny sent me this pic when I inquired about this latest batch. I hope it’s OK to post this here but I think it really shows this batch is a true blue. This batch will break to light blue and brown almost like indigo. You can probably guess what that means for me.

Pretty awesome, but I hope I can still find some of the greenish stuff in the future. That was magical.

I really like the color and that collar is the shape of perfection on a jacket.

 

[handymike]

The collar is a good shape! But, it needs to be bigger .

 

[ton312]

Premier HWM, board racer style cuffs, Vader back yoke, shoulder gussets, brass hardware and red drill liner.





Is what I’m thinking.

 

[handymike]

Not quite sure that’s the pattern for you Ton.

Depending on what size and design, I may have something you’d like!

We should start a petition for a dark green leather, something almost black, like old German coats are made from/some kind of British racing green. Horween does have a very nice color I have seen some wallets made from.

That is definitely more the colour I think of when I hear Midnight Blue...the first was just a bit too black. If only it were Steer.... it would be incredible after the break-in....

Agreed! Mine felt more grey/green. I think this will break in really well but you’re right, the time to do so will certainly be greater.

I’ve got a 40 Cafe Racer in midnight blue (has the emerald green tint). Like new.

Curious as to why? Pattern too trim? I think if sized right it would work. I was thinking 44” drop waisted to a 42”. From what I can tell the numbers would jive. Not a whole helluva a lot of info available though...

 

[handymike]

Irregardless of the shoulder width, the pattern still has the "convex bowing" sides (like that IH jacket you didn't like). You seem to favor a straight tapered side or a concaved side panel.

That’s why I thought the tapered waist might help create a more v shaped pattern. You think no? You are right about the IH. I don’t favor jackets without a drop/V shaped waist. I’m stuck as I really love the collar shape and want to create something of an LL dominator mod. Maybe a sheene is the better option? But can I get that collar and waist buckles/ band? I’ll need to find out.

@technovox has the "Highwayman/ Sheene Hybrid". So I imagine yes.

I think that @technovox created a cross between a Cafe Racer Sheene and a Premier HWM with amazing results.
One of the coolest jackets I’ve seen. I think it was renamed around here as a Highwayracer or Sheeneman or the like, can’t remember. Still worth rediscovering that jacket as I think it’s pretty close to what you’re after.
