    How Many Hides to Make a Jacket?

    I can't come up with any more than 15 square feet or so of leather in one of my sized 42 jackets, would be more if it was long or had overlap like in an asymmetrical moto jacket. Obviously that wouldn't include any waste, and I'm sure that's substantial. Then it's a matter of whether you are...

    Polar Opposites

    That's a gorgeous Bates but as you observed, that price has nothing to do with the market for that particular jacket. $1000 is about the tops I see for really nice vintage Bates. But as the salesman noted, since there is really no "wholesale" market for vintage jackets (as DH used to be for...

    And yes, I agree that it's very clumsy.

    Thedi Leathers

    My understanding is that you email the owner/designer directly. Jackets seem to be in the 700-900 Euro range, but I've seen him discount them off of list when asked for a "best price." Just anecdotally I've heard that he's a pleasure to deal with.

    Eastman (ELMC) Throws Their Hat in the J-100 Ring

    Agree that Thedi is leading the pack in terms of turning out great moto designs.

    The liner reveal at the top near the collar is really striking in the revised design.

    Eastman (ELMC) Throws Their Hat in the J-100 Ring

    On IG, to be released next month. The pattern really reminds me of the DD J-100 (new pattern), which makes sense as I am sure Eastman is working from an original just as DD and JC did. Upper arms are pretty large and sleeves have a significant pre-curve. They also state it will be made from HH.

    Unless I somehow missed it in this thread, what do you have coming from Himel? This looks like it's worth a plane ticket next year... EDIT: And thank you for your report!

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    -12 C (11F) and heading to -5F tonight. Filson waxed jacket with wool liner and Filson hunting shirt. Wind whipping pretty good to boot. Even inside the hotel lobby where I'm staying for the weekend they can't keep it warm because of the doors opening.
