    Can someone please help me find this type of leather jacket?

    I'll admit the whole pressed/vegtanned/pebbled/chrometanned descriptions confused the hell out of me... but the photos of the various thicknesses are great to see. You guys are awesome. The thing is I have no idea what to request from a maker now regarding the whole vegtanned/pebbled etc., haha. :D

    Can someone please help me find this type of leather jacket?

    Alright, thank you. :) Now, in regards to thickness... another forum member said that this appears to be at least 1.3mm thickness... but for some reason - although I really have zero clue to be honest, it's just a hunch - to my eye it appears to be significantly thicker. Isn't 1.3mm fairly thin?

    Can someone please help me find this type of leather jacket?

    Is there a big difference between Cowhide and Steerhide? Because the Indiana Jones Replica I posted earlier in this thread, which in terms of color and "surface" almost exactly resembled the original jacket, is actually Steerhide according to the website. Thoughts? Or would this be insignificant?

    Can someone please help me find this type of leather jacket?

    It's interesting how this information differs depending on who you ask. This is from a post on the third page of the thread. The range being written here is $700-$1000, and in the more recent post by another member, it's minimum $1000 to around $2500. Another person said only $200-$300 when it...

    Can someone please help me find this type of leather jacket?

    I appreciate your insight, but I do want the shoulder seams to be where they are as in the original picture. Meaning, the design of the jacket, a "regular fit", would be with shoulder seams where they are supposed to be, meaning at the shoulders. But because my version will be oversized, it will...

    Can someone please help me find this type of leather jacket?

    Yup, gotcha. Seems reasonable. So... cowhide perhaps? What software is usually used for making clothing drawings? Wot? Some jackets I bought here in Germany cost 500 Euros, and they weren't custom made. That seems insanely cheap. Is the quality reliable? What are some places worth contacting...

    Can someone please help me find this type of leather jacket?

    Gotcha. And what you were saying makes perfect sense. I'm unaware of the differences between sheepskin and lambskin when it comes to leather, but I have plenty of lambskin jackets and they are very very light except for maybe two or three, but that's because of the stuff inside of them. For...

    Can someone please help me find this type of leather jacket?

    Because someone privately suggested it and I was quite skeptical, hence wanting to check with the experts here. No, I did not know about this 98% statistic. Thank you. On the other hand, even a leather enthusiast can, theoretically, be able to answer a question about non-leather material... or...

    Can someone please help me find this type of leather jacket?

    Before I leave the thread - and thanks again to all who tried / are trying to help - I'd like to set a few things straight so I don't make any mistakes in my quest of getting this jacket made in the future. 1.) Would it be possible to achieve this sort of color/look with fake leather? And if...

    Can someone please help me find this type of leather jacket?

    Bro I live in Germany. :D I also contacted "Wested" today, showed them pics, explained the situation, and they said they can't help because the only custom made things they do are the ones from the "custom" section on their website. Those are supposedly the only jackets they can modify. In my...

    Can someone please help me find this type of leather jacket?

    I also just noticed I received a "like" from user AeroFan_07 in the post with photos of my own jackets. Thank you, I appreciate it. :)

    Can someone please help me find this type of leather jacket?

    I understand you, but I need the sleeves longer though for accuracy reasons. As you can see in plenty of my pics, in terms of sleeve length that's how I want it. Although the jackets are different. Now compare the sleeve length of the original photos (TV) to the last two pics of my own jacket...

    Can someone please help me find this type of leather jacket?

    He only appears in two episodes throughout the whole series. In one episode he wears a business suit, and in the other one what you see in the photos.

    Can someone please help me find this type of leather jacket?

    Very insightful post! I'll have to dissect that info. :D BTW, while the majority are thinner leather indeed, the jackets in pics #3, #9, #10+11 are actually significantly thicker. #9+10 is the same jacket. It's also heavier compared to the rest, but #8 is the heaviest (although totally...

    Can someone please help me find this type of leather jacket?

    OK, here are some of my own jackets, among many. I have 23 jackets, but I don't have enough photos and am lazy to take new ones, so here are a few of the ones I very frequently wear. You can see five different ones here... To clarify (although it's pretty obvious): Pics #1 and #2 = same...

    Can someone please help me find this type of leather jacket?

    I'm gonna post a few pics of some jackets I own where you can see that they completely pale in comparison to what I'm looking for, in terms of artistic value. Lemme upload them, it'll take a few minutes...

    Can someone please help me find this type of leather jacket?

    OK I've talked to "Wested". They only modify the jackets they have as "custom made" listed on their site, which are one or two jackets. And they're also not available to do any modifications until March. Any other websites/companies you guys know of?
