after spending 10 minutes ~

did you use the grease?
If you buckle and unbuckle them every morning soon you'll have Arnold's biceps.

Getting excited for this one. Symmetry looks good, front drop on target, hide looks nice. Actually looking at these pics I think this would make a pretty cool vest too. It’s a 30’s-40’s pattern, but I trimmed the measurements down on this one to give it that late 60’s, short Cabretta jacket feel.

That looks great already! Is that a black or brown zipper?

The hide is russet steer but it does look dark! I always take the photos with a huge grain of salt when it comes to color. As far as the zipper tape goes I’m not sure, I only asked it be a Talon. The jacket will be lined in black cotton so either one is OK by me. That’s actually the only piece of hardware on the jacket. It’s a buckle-less Halfbelt. I also asked that Shawn use a leather tag, this to be precise:

I can hardly imagine that this should be a russet steer. I would surely ask immediately lol

I'm curious if that's a black Talon as he didn't have any Talon in black in the past and maybe he's got them now. I like the leather and that leather tag! I'll go for the 1.3 1.4mm goat this time and hoping is going to look good. Keep up updated as this looks really good.

I think my phone played havoc with the color when I saved the pics? Here’s a screen grab from email. But I did ask!!

Now that looks brown.

Hi everybody, I'm evaluating the possibility to ask to Shawn a jacket inspired from a "fashion" leather jacket I like. Something very clean and simple, lambskin, in a size that will be similar to an XXS. I don't have an idea, how much could it costs? How long could the entire process take?

The easiest thing will be to send Shawn pictures and ask directly. I usually contact him via fb messenger. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100008053320810

 

[ton312]

Well I’ve asked anyway just to be sure!!
