Thanks! My friend who is proxying for me just got it. Hopefully he will be able to ship it to me shortly.
@jeo glad to hear such a positive description of the leather. I'm really excited to feel how different it is to the rather thick ponyhide on my Seattle Woolen aviator.
Thanks! I really scrambled to get it. Maybe nobody else was going to grab it quickly, but I wasn't going to take the chance.
Thanks! Very excited to get it.
That Taubers is nice too, we were just continuing a conversation from a couple pages ago. I guess that's how these threads go sometimes. It does make things confusing.
Yeah I'm quite excited to get it. Might take a bit of time as the seller is at Inspiration Japan so they won't ship it for...
Thanks! This thread has gotten me several great jackets. Late 30s-mid 40s aviators are my favorite types of jackets and my favorite leather color is mid-light brown so this one could not be any better. Plus the design is absolutely beautiful and unique and the condition was a big selling point.
@AerGuitar very nice work! I was goong to ask what the jacket was because it fit you so nicely and then I scrolled down and saw that you actually made it! Very impressive.
A couple more recent fits:
Dark brown jacket is a 40s Windward and the light brown is a late 40s Sportclad
Thanks! I'm not sure. I wouldn't expect that as the hair has been treated. It could still happen though.
Yeah I'm a fan of them obviously. I'm excited to get it!
It does indeed. I've made too many mistakes with custom jackets.
It's mid brown Shinki horsehide and the fur panels are natural off white cowhide panels I supplied myself because I didn't want any brown speckles in the cow fur.
