Johnson leather Horween 6oz cxl overdye D-pocket and 4.5 -5oz CXL natural LeatherTogs project

[jacketjunkie]

The YKK on my Johnson Leather is holding up just fine after 6 years of frequent use, in fact far more use than most jackets posted here have seen before being sold on again... I would never spend excessive amounts of money on a zipper nor spend much thought on it failing; chances are your interest in the particular jacket "fails", long before the zipper does.

Actually is 7 jackets per year for him

Oups, yes, I was thinking 25 for some reason lol

I absolutely love #3, the Prince Of Wales. I always just referred to this as a “houndstooth check”, The original seats in my friend Hugos 69 Camaro have this pattern and it is bad ass!!!
I also agree with some others about the zipper, stick with your big riri.

Have you considered camo liner, kinda like Himel has been doing?

I like it a lot, some don't. I think it is badass.

I vote dogstooth pattern, it's a classic but more interresting than herringbone or check.

 

[Alan@JohnsonLeather]

My vote is for number three as well. I have the same lining ( mine is 100% cotton flannel 20oz.) in one of my heavy horse hide jackets and it looks and wears well.

Thanks for your approval, Alan!

You got me at houndstooth, #3. I need more of that in my life.

 

[Hh121]

22oz wool blend, should be warm enough?

Alan, I think we need a picture of you in the jacket!

I find that a bit much.
It has Dolce & GabBana vibe...

Lol, I thought there is something weird about that zipper.

It does, yeah. Doesn't look very good at all.

That's the most American way of writing "Ferrero Rocher" ever, you win!
But yes, i guess that's a good comparison.

I literally lol'd. Heard it in my mind!

 

[Will Zach]

That is funny, Carlos. Now I can't stop thinking how to "americanize" other famous designers. I guess I cannot come up with anything funny, so John wins.
Eve Saint Lawrence won't cut it I suppose. I'll keep thinking.

I like the quality of the track... but the puller looks wrong

 

[Kuro]

In my experience, zipper pulls can be changed...
