I wanted to rephrase that, but I figured it would be more fun to leave it as isMoo-ma mia!

Seems so simple in theory but as we all know the proper execution of a pattern is difficult, and impressive once achieved.So that’s how they get the “) (“ shape into the jacket without the cinches. I always thought it was those side gussets but apparent just the back panel…

And the slimmer back panel (bigger side gusset panels) gives the overall slimmer look and still wearable…. I learn something new everyday…
its always like that in pattern, and also if you do paper craft (making aeroplane by glueing panels of flat paper for example) that's how curved 3d shaped objects are made by connecting sides of panels with the same length but differently curvedSo that’s how they get the “) (“ shape into the jacket without the cinches.

It’s more so annoying for the people around it rather than the one wearing it.. but i still love the squeaky leather and will wear the squeak with pride!Nappa Lux is pretty awesome... But it squeaks like an old spring mattress on a busy night
I believe that he's getting in several shades of brown, along with bone, which Sam confirmed is a natural / undyed hide. I didn't ask about other shades of brown.Is he only doing black right now? Browns? or the Natural one?
Would love something in Wild Elk ShingleIncidentally, A. & A. Crack, the supplier whose website I linked to for the Badalassi leathers have some fantastic hides. My favourite is probably the vegetable tanned Horween Bison, which looks as though it's a tea-core, since the back side is brown. They also have wild Elk and Kudu from Charles F. Stead & Co.
Bone Badalsssi is what I was most interested in... ugh... Maybe just one more...I believe that he's getting in several shades of brown, along with bone, which Sam confirmed is a natural / undyed hide. I didn't ask about other shades of brown.
However, in an Instagram story, Greg mentioned that Badalassi offer sample packs, which contain enough leather to make up one or two jackets. From what he said, it sounded as though customers would be able to pick any colour, but Sam didn't think that this would be the case.
If he does open up all the colours, I'm tempted by Pugna, which is a deep purple, and R. Antico, which is faded red or pink that buffs up to a brick red. (See the third photo in the link.)
I am considering either a dark brown tobacco or bone for my upcoming FL.Bone Badalsssi is what I was most interested in... ugh... Maybe just one more...
I have a jacket in Nappa Lux Tobacco. I've worn it for about 2 weeks before it got too warm to wear a leather jacket. It's not that dark, but I think it'll darken a little (the swatch I got before deciding darkened quite a bit after me playing with it for a few days). It is very rich, though. Perhaps Chestnut is what your looking for.I am considering either a dark brown tobacco or bone for my upcoming FL.
Has anyone a recommendation for a dark, rich brown badalassi or experience with the bone badalassi?
Photos are appreciated as always.
Yeah, chestnut is a true dark brown (think chocolate 80% cocoa). I got swatches of them both, and decided for the Tobacco because I wanted something far from black. Chestnut in low light conditions look black to me. @Canuck Panda has a jacket on this leather, I believeThat's not dark at all! That really helped a lot.
Do you think chestnut would be dark brown, without too much of a red tint? (I have a aero phwmn in russet vincenza, so I don't want something too close in colour.)
Tobacco is a reddish brown. Starts medium darkness but can get darker as it patinas.I am considering either a dark brown tobacco or bone for my upcoming FL.

I want it! It's almost what I envisioned for mine. That, minus yoke, chest pocket and made out of Shinki Pony. And a green tartan liningNew Model from Gregs IG. Kinda Mulholland-PHWM-Hybrid in Badalassi. I like it.
Very clean jacket. I like it quite a lot actually. Good proportions on the pattern, no pointy shoulders. Nothing too original but I think it's a good alternative to these said models and great addition to Greg's lineup.New Model from Gregs IG. Kinda Mulholland-PHWM-Hybrid in Badalassi. I like it.
