Shawn said he can produce aniline steerhide on demand if the quantity is big enough.
Who of you would have a fundamental interest in aniline steerhide?
Maybe we can get the amount we need
Not familiar with this type of hide. Is it thick and robust? Dyed right through? Suitable for a cross-zip style?Shawn said he can produce aniline steerhide on demand if the quantity is big enough.

. I provide bicep, elbow and cuff measurements and that seems to work. The All weather I spec’d with wide sleeves. The winter HB is spiced with trim sleeves and my latest that is in China has the trimmest yet.Can someone maybe pin point me in the right direction in terms of measurements for my next purchase ?
How do I make the forearm taper a little?
Do I go smaller on the cuff width or do I spec a 1cm taper below the elbow?
My specifications were 25cm arm opening and 12cm cuff .My other of the rack jacket has the same measurements but looks much more tapered
I don't want to grow out of it
I have tooth pick 16cm circumference arms but big hands .Should you be able to put your hand through without opening the cuff?
My ill fitting A2 has 22cm arm opening and 12cm before the ribbons .
I want to order shawns Cossack with the patch pockets . I don't want a Cafe racer sleeve but I get confused on how little cut differences with the same arm and cuff measurements make such a difference.
It should still have a period correct cut.
Any help and guidance is appreciated

Armhole is a key measurementI had specified armhole, biceps, elbow and cuff.
With a cossack I would make the cuffs so tight that the hands just go out when the cuff is closed. they are tighter with a zipper.
At the Cossack I would make sure that the front drop doesn't get too big. it would take a maximum of 1 inch. especially since shawn always starts the front drop at the side seam. wanted to start it with my CR at the back seams. did not work out that way.

Hi everyone -
Wanted to ask about thread color - to contrast or not to contrast? Can anyone share some contrasting thread examples, thoughts, successes, regrets?
I just got samples from Shawn, leather and knits but no thread. I'm looking at doing an A-1 with the seal horsehide and (probably) olive knits. He sent me a shot of an A-2 in this color combo with contrasting (Cognac) thread and it looks great (below), but my wife pointed out that contrasting thread will tend to accentuate any sewing issues. I'm not as concerned about that as the overall look - that it looks cool in a detail but might be too much in an entire jacket. I will see if he can send pics of the whole jacket, but was also curious to see what people have done?
This is the Five Star in seal goat/olive knits/cognac thread:
Many thanks!
