I like that style too and it’s perfectly suited for a nice fat leather pull.

Best repro of that I’ve seen is this Toy’s McCoy. Could be a good source of inspiration for your project.

Quick question : Will this be full grain ?

Congratulations placing your order. Now the wait begins. Good luck.

This is the 3.5 oz black over dye horse cxl they have on display at the shop. I also placed an order out of this hide.

 

[Hh121]

you can easily order 10 custom order with JL.
Alan told me there is a guy who used to be here (I think I know his name) ordered 35 jackets from JL during last 5 years.

Yep, I believe that. They do superb work, lots of leather selection, great prices. I'm sold on them.

Man, you are right! Should've "borrowed" it until November when I get my order.

That prince of Wales looks very nice.

3.Gray and Black Prince Of Whales Plaid Wool Fabric | 80/20 | 22oz

Prince of WHALES
Might indeed be a more suited name for this jacket.

Compromise zipper along with super durable leather? Hmm, I think you already know the answer well.
That big Riri looks better alternative indeed.

5 jackets per year, a good rhythm

 

[navetsea]

you really need to go to a blacksmith and ask for a custom stout hammer forged buckle.
to truly justify the project.

Actually is 7 jackets per year for him

 

[navetsea]

that is a sure way to go burnout , 1 new jacket every two months and probably 2 on xmas, 5 years straight, that's no way in enjoying this hobby.
