    My new jacket, I name it greywolf

    Today I collected my new jacket.... hot damn I'm loving it, so cool it is cowhide, around 1.6-1.8mm but shaved on the edges so it looks thinner on the hem and sleeve end (it's a shame.. but otherwise they can't sew it). I don't really know what the proper name for the type of the leather, it...

    I revised my jacket design, any input is welcome

    The story is, I made two jacket designs previously, and now I tried to "upgrade" my first design which was the "tamer" of the two, with elements of the second design that I love. My younger brother asked me to design a jacket where we would ask the jacket maker (we went for our previous jackets)...

    is it possible to mix lighter and heavier hides in one jacket?

    Hello all, I plan to have a moto/ cafe racer-ish jacket made with heavy hide on the back, shoulder, and arm, while lighter/ smoother hide on the front so it can drape better and easier to sit/ squat in it, would it have any unwanted side effects when combining thin and thick leather panels in...

    Do you ever try to guide how creases should form on your jacket?

    Sorry if this sounds a little crazy, but since leather jacket will eventually form creases following our movement, and these creases would be more or less permanent and eventually also affect how the leather would fade leaving darker and lighter shades throughout our jacket, do you guys have any...
