    Just when you thought you had seen it all . . . (Warning: Not for the fainthearted)

    New style: unhoused chic

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    I have two Johnson jackets with heavy, 4oz+ horween CXL, and although they were quite stiff they were pretty comfortable for every day wear. But the hide you've chosen looks different from the one I've used. Looks great

    Was it more expensive that way?

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    Yup, JL have been absolutely on the dot for me and what I wanted them to make for me. And they're the only ones, that I know of, to provide mock jacket for fitting. Over all great service and construction for a price that is very reasonable compared, say, to Himmel or Lost Worlds or any Japanese...

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    As a person who can almost never find a jacket off the rack that would fit even approximately well, I have to order made to measure. Most of the times is a variation of existing pattern/design, with primary concern, functionality as I ride motorcycles and actually want to be able to move my arms...

    I forgot to mention that the two HH jackets were variations of patterns they had, plus the sizes are above the average jacket size. So all factors considered I found their pricing reasonable. I have not had any aero products, but from what I've seen their prices are quite comparable.

    Their pricing is also tied to the material used. I've had two CXL HH and a bison hide and they were in the 1300+ region. Had I chosen, say, goat or steer, it would've been a couple of hundred or three cheaper

    Straight zip would be my preference and button cuffs, sorta replica of the 1940's version

    Pictures? I'll ask JL if they'll get any more of that hide. I want a CHP. You guys are really bad influence

    That's a beautiful hide. Great looking jacket. Now you've got me thinking about CHP and shrunken...

    Here are a couple of pictures of my latest JL CXL HH jacket. Overall it is gorgeous jacket and the leather is...well CXL, still stiff but it's getting better. But I have the nagging suspicion that the hide on the left sleeve is a bit thinner than the one on the right. The rolls look different...

    Good looking piece of hide. What is it?

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    It's based on the classic Cossack with my own modifications, shirt type collar, hand warmer pockets and chest pocket. No extra charge for buttons. A wool lining would have been extra charge.

    Received the Cossack variant I ordered from JL in CXL HH. It is quite stiff will require some break in time. Fit pictures to follow.

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    Concur. This jacket will be my third from them and couldn't be happier with the previous two. But I would have to caution people about the mock jacket as it is just a canvas fit jacket and the finished product will definitely fit a bit differently. So when ordering and adjusting your...

    I am promised my new JL jacket by February 25. I ordered it Dec 6, but with holiday break and vacation they pushed the delivery date by a month. I had two fittings and hopefully the result will be as good as the previous ones.
