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

Highlighting the work of Greg at FL making this killer custom piece made of full aniline black shinki w/ Nickle hardware for me (FW caboose inspired front/RMC disfarmer inspired back/zipper closure gauntlet sleeves). Should be delivered later next week.

This jacket is a work of art, and I’m excited for you to get it and see how it works out! The olive contrast stitching was a good call and great overall design

Thank you, I am buzzing too as this is just done expertly by a Master craftsman! For me Greg is already up there with superior makers, I'm blessed he was happy to take this project on. I'm sure it will fit perfectly, this is my 2nd jacket with him and we had a mock up jacket done before the final pattern was done.

^ agreed, this one looks really special..

Thank you! I can't help but feel the same way looking at it but I'm sure it will Be even more special in real life

This Lewis Leathers Phantom is on its way to me from Spain. It's a vintage one from the seventies but it looks to be in perfect condition (apart from a missing collar snap but that's easy to replace). I'm not a huge fan of padded biker jackets but I couldn't resist this one. Plus I feel the need to handle a Lewis Leathers, experience what it's about :)

I was unclear- my brown vest is a custom piece from Johnson Leathers which mimics the look of a Lost Worlds Ryder vest, rather than being the brown version of the one you got. I attached a few pics of it below.

I’ve been strongly considering getting a black vest too since I get so much use out of the brown one. New Orleans isn’t exactly known for chilly weather heh.

Thanks man! Greg is just out of this world, so glad he started his own business and now doing his own thing. If you want a slim fitting bespoke shinki jacket, you know where to go.

That's so true, I saw the story on his ig and he's so meticulous with his work! Soon you'll be able to enjoy it fully :)

Any idea what's going here:

Greg doesn't skive the edges (yet) so that's 4 layers of unskived leather you're seeing. Pulled really tight because otherwise it would obstruct the zipper pull.

Edit: Maybe it's not as pleasant to the eye, skived edges make much smoother seams. But it takes a very skilled machinist to make unskived edges look as good as this.
