    Johnson Leather Custom Aviator Style in Bison

    LOVE "walk the walk"! Looks amazing AND epic! Keep going with the poetic description of the jacket and trees, I endorse this feeling!

    Fountainhead Beta, another La Brea in a different name, for less?

    Pictures are not large enough for me to really compare details.

    I never have any intention to make someone make me something they don't want to make, I know this as a life principle. I did attempt three times to work with Stuart, not to make him make me a jacket, but to ensure I was correctly communicating with him. It was pretty obvious from his first and...

    That is something that I think is a little funny about all this. My Aero Board Racer in this photo is 3oz leather. I just made the mistake of calling it lightweight when talking with Stuart, because it is so supple and easy to wear! I can't press the like button more than once!

    I never intended to make anyone unhappy with my requests. Up until this point every single custom jacket maker I have talked to, or looked at online offered both forms of leather. I made the error of assuming everyone offered a variety of leathers.

    "We don't make Custom Jackets for first time customers." That is their policy... I believe he said that deerskin is custom order too... So I suppose I could not ask for a deerskin Buco Rider even if I did not ask for any other changes. I attempted to paint a bigger picture, that I wanted to...

    Will Stuart allow changes to a jacket design? Like delete pockets, add kidney panel, move cuff zippers to top of sleeves?

    Yes please. What is the color under the top coat? Any photos?

    I have just sent one more email to Stuart, worded differently, in an attempt to work with him. I feel like I might like a Deerskin jacket, in the Buco Rider style, I would like to see if he would consider that. I understand, but do not know first hand, that chrome tanned deer is soft and...

    I am searching for, as I have in the past, for a FW Speed Master in a 42. I know I would love it. Not 100% certain it will fit.

    I respect that he believes we are not a good fit together, at least for the jacket I asked for from him.

    I am not fixated. But I don't like chrome tanned leather, I prefer veg tanned. Either way, he closed the door on me. I should say, that I let him know that I could live with chrome tanned leather, but he still passed.

    I have sent a note to Johnson Leathers, will update. I am not ready to do a custom order from overseas yet, for those that have recommended overseas makers. I have also learned that I may prefer off the rack jackets, because it limits my imagination and expectations. The Japanese jackets have...

    Struck out. Stuart says he does not make a jacket that will meet my requirements. Pretty certain "lightweight" and "not chrome tanned" were words he did not want to hear. I can accept his disposition.

    I am waiting to hear back from him, as I had replied that I could live with chrome tanned hide, but he has not responded yet.

    First pitch... Strike one! I am pretty sure I struck out on the first pitch... I am not a fan of chrome tanned leather, and he said he was not the market I was shopping for. And he is probably right. Too bad, I was dreaming about Crown zipper and blue leather... My thoughts were, delete...

    I am going to reach out to Stuart today, just to wrap my mind around the legend. I will update. Here is my current J-100 homage for reference.
