How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

Coooool
Yeah 10 ykk two way with paperclip pull. Damon said they have been thinking of going with paperclip pulls as standard.
My first two way zip I think I am going to be pleased esp with heavier weight leather until it breaks in for sitting, bikin, etc

Thanks for sharing, that 2 way zipper being offered as standard hardware seems like a great idea. Happy with that for sure.
Yes, that will definitely appeal to riders/casuals and hopefully bring them more business. That will hopefully translate to more leather options!
Looking at chore coats and waxed jackets like lc king, ship john, barbour, filson, carhartt, etc. got an email on this and good price

I’m a hair trigger from buying this. Price is USD $480 shipped. I love the style but is the faux distressing too much?

Only you can answer that. To me it’s not any more or less than some of the LVCs or RRLs. If it’s this leather, with this exact distressing pattern, it actually doesn’t look that bad. Some of their other leathers look very cheap and plastic-y. The distressing on most LVC jackets vary a lot between jacket to jacket, so it would make me really nervous to order one without seeing it in person first

I’m not into pre-distressed leather, no matter how well done. I know it’s fake. A mental block I guess. Much prefer a pre-worn jacket.

Be careful, I don't see anyone share their rebel jacket on his instagram page.
Use the links that @Blackadder provided and save some cash! I agree that of the two hides (horse and this) this one is probably better. You can even out the tones easily with some dye and a rag.

How does the redyed area wear/patina? Does it wear off quicker than the original?

I missed those! Which thread?
These jackets could be forwarded to @jonesy86 for his patent pending HBSHWT.
I really like the design, and would seriously consider sending to photos to Five Star! That way you can get a fit you like.

I had good luck dyeing a Cidu leather jacket, but I sold it, so I can’t answer how it has worn over time. The dye job has done just fine on my Redwing boots though.

$220 on Taobo. If I could only figure out how the Hell to use the site. Created account, can’t add to cart. I quit. NEXT!

I did offer the mr. rebel a chance to price match the taobao site. I suspect that will end our email communications. $220 sounds like a fair gamble. $480?...

I actually emailed JL about potentially making this for me:
To me it basically looks like a highwayman with double western yoke and I like the angled chest pocket.
I’m thinking of a heavier leather with blanket lining.
Takeaway for me is at least the Rebel folks are doing a good job curating interesting styles.
Depending on what they say at JL (especially about the cost!) I may put shelve the idea for when I have the cash for a custom highwayman and use Thurston for the fitting.

That instagram page takes great photos for sure. Looks a lot like a freewheeler mulholland with a different back yoke. I'm having something similar made by JL. Good luck with the project.
