Up for sale is this custom made 1920's style heavy leather jacket, made by Alan at Johnson Leathers. Constructed from 4.25oz. CXL veg-tanned cowhide, it has a dark brown leather core hide, overdyed in Black. It has a button-up front with a button Left-breast pocket, button cuffs, slash hand warmer pockets, & is back belted with side cinches. It is also lined with a custom Japanese-made cotton lining that Alan used for a special jacket order for a store in Japan.
This jacket is based on the Neal Cassidy Switchyard Coat made by Freewheelers. They didn't make that style in my size, so I asked Alan to make one for me. This jacket is the result. As much as I love this jacket, it just doesn't get enough wear time. As a result, it's in pristine condition. I will say that the few times I did wear it, people would stop me on the streets and compliment the coat.
As this was a totally custom order, this jacket was very expensive to produce, and Alan was meticulous about getting it right. It cost me around $1,200.00. I'm looking to get $875.00 (shipped CONUS). An absolute bargain for this level of craftsmanship.
One last thing...this jacket is a beast. It is a heavy-duty leather jacket, and will stand up to any abuse you can throw at it, and hasn't even started to break in (although there is some graining starting appear, which you can see in the photos). This jacket is not for the faint of heart!
Here are the measurements:
Pit-to-pit: 21"
Shoulders: 20"
Sleeves (shoulder to cuff): 26"
Back length: 25"
Cheers! And feel free to ask questions.
