While I work on a review and Proper fit photos, I wanted to share this beauty with the world.
I have been wanting to try something new, considering I have two cafe racers and as soon as I saw Tony’s Windward, I decided it was the time for a Half Belt, so I struck up a conversation about it with Regius for a place in line. As my time came, we started talking about design and how he wanted to try something different, at first I was hesitant because the Windward was so nice, looked so much like Marc’s original.
I ended up saying to go for it, original design, new model, cues from an original 1930’s or 1940’s Photograph came to his mind and any reservations were lost. I was hooked. It was an action back with these 3 darts coming up from the belt area itself. I really started getting excited and every suggestion or question came one response: “I trust you, you do what you see fit”. I just wanted that same Black Shinki with the shine that some refer to as pony hide or oil tanned.
Even the lining, I said just use whatever you like or have lying around in the shop.
The front was all his idea since the photo was taken with the gentleman facing forward and you can’t see the front, I think there might have been a picture of the front and it was a cross zip aviator but I can’t remember.
As for working Super nice guy, very easy to work with and VERY INTELLIGENT when it comes to jackets and movement. And he made a jacket that fit me like a glove.
A quick photo of the back.
