Oddly enough it’s the only green rough they had and just the color I was looking for a moss likeDo you have pictures of the green rough out? Sounds very intriguing.

Haha, I was about to ask the same question. Have been very intrigued with green color on leather jackets and bootsDo you have pictures of the green rough out? Sounds very intriguing.
Trust me brother I’m going down that rabbit holeHaha, I was about to ask the same question. Have been very intrigued with green color on leather jackets and boots
With the green rough out, do you know if it’s dyed through?Oddly enough it’s the only green rough they had and just the color I was looking for a moss like
So the jacket will be all rough out in that green but the crazy thing is that other side is a camo leather so I will incorporate the camo side for accents on the inside of the jacket just not to waste this camo leather I’ve never seen b4 I’m also doing a design on the back in a different leather I know it’s a bit wild but I’m will to pay up to see ideas come to lifeTrust me brother I’m going down that rabbit hole
Fortis boots from Indonesia hand made welted and lastedWith the green rough out, do you know if it’s dyed through?
And love your boots. Who made them?
It will be a killer combo.
I did notice the camo side.So the jacket will be all rough out in that green but the crazy thing is that other side is a camo leather so I will incorporate the camo side for accents on the inside of the jacket just not to waste this camo leather I’ve never seen b4 I’m also doing a design on the back in a different leather I know it’s a bit wild but I’m will to pay up to see ideas come to life
doing the the bottom of the collar incase I feel the need to pop that bad boy upI did notice the camo side.
You should think of some exterior accents with the camo as well. Maybe the half belt or pocket welts, etc…

Another example of Alans excellent work.Hi guys, I finally received my Johnson Leather CR. This is a mashup CR made with design elements from two of my favorite CRs: the Bates Competition and the Herm's Leathertog MJ-3B. While owning the Bates I linked to, I aspire to own the Herm's MJ-3B. I initially reached out to Johnson's in anticipation of making a full replica of the MJ-3B, but incorporated elements of both jackets after some reflection.
The design elements incorporated from the Herm's were the epaulets, the red satin interior with dual interior pockets, dual buttons on the collar, and waist adjusters. While borrowed from the Bates were the longer length (roughly 29 inches), split panel and western yoke in the rear, gussets in the armpits (or is it bi-swing?), and hand warmer pockets in the font.
The process lasted 4 months and cost me $1400 for a bespoke jacket in medium-weight tea core Horween horsehide (it is super stiff). This also included a fit coat to ensure the sizing was dialed in. Alan, the semi-retired Johnson Leather OG was so nice and responsive. He truly enjoys his work and it showed. Johnson's didn't nickel and dime on small changes either.
Overall it was a good experience and I would recommend it to others.
Thanks!

Thanks- it's very stiff. It will take a long time to break a jacket with leather like this in. I need to wear it in the rain to assist with the process.Beautiful jacket. That hide looks awesome
I have two Johnson jackets with heavy, 4oz+ horween CXL, and although they were quite stiff they were pretty comfortable for every day wear. But the hide you've chosen looks different from the one I've used. Looks greatThanks- it's very stiff. It will take a long time to break a jacket with leather like this in.

@Canuck Panda can probably tell us exactly what it is, as it's a standard leather JL offers. I should have asked Alan for more details.I have two Johnson jackets with heavy, 4oz+ horween CXL, and although they were quite stiff they were pretty comfortable for every day wear.

Oh yeah @Canuck Panda, he's the local leathersmith@Canuck Panda can probably tell us exactly what it is, as it's a standard leather JL offers. I should have asked Alan for more details.
Great looking jacket. I am a first time customer of Johnson Leathers. Alan told me the wait list would take about 10 weeks. So my questions to you are: When you said it was a 4 month process, did that include all your planning time? What wait list time did JL quote you and how close were they to that quote?Another example of Alans excellent work.
I misspoke, it was 3 months. I was quoted 8 weeks. That said, I didn't push for frequent updates. I was in no hurry.Great looking jacket. I am a first time customer of Johnson Leathers.

I have commissioned a few hats and the quoted times have varied from ahead of time to twice as long. So I am curious where JL might fit in with their quoted time.
