Yeah I did buy one & it's thin goat suede,after I bought it I saw the Iron & Resin offering which is thicker & cheaper..Anyone have the Rrl Alston roughout jacket ? Thoughts on it ?
I’m back and forth on it

What are your thoughts on it ? Do you like it ? Would love some pics !Yeah I did buy one & it's thin goat suede,after I bought it I saw the Iron & Resin offering which is thicker & cheaper..
I'm always suspicious when they use terms like 'Roughneck',you know,when they fail to specify 'Full Grain Leather'..Iron & Resin stuff does appeal
HiWhat are your thoughts on it ? Do you like it ? Would love some pics !
Thank you
Rarely are reversibles give u 2 cool options. Rather see buttons as oppose to zippers, but do like the rough out.
I picked up a Master & Supply suede jacket awhile ago. Love it. Soft and supple and easy to wear. Beautiful shade of suede. And I've been looking at Iron and Resin too...kind of gone down the suede jacket rabbit hole. Did you end up getting an Iron and Resin Buffalo jacket?And the problem is, seemingly 90% of suede jackets these days seem to be based on Levi’s denim jackets and to be honest I find them really boring because they’re so ubiquitous, especially the type III. Actually I’m trying to find a replacement for my tan suede jacket because it’s a type III and I think it’s boring.
I really liked a Master & Supply (def. not FL-approved!) prototype they posted in their Instagram so I asked them and said they had no formal plans or ETA to release it.
Ah, yes I forgot to mention it here: I bought the Iron & Resin clone of the RRL Alston but returned it: it was too big and I would’ve liked to get the chance to try a smaller size but I got the impression that the pattern wouldn’t work that well on me. I didn’t like the suede that much either as it was on the thinner side, lighter than my two non-roughout calf suede jackets. I’m not a fan of super thick leathers (e.g. I’d never get a jacket in FQHHCXL) but I do like some heft on suede ones because suede is very pliable anyway.I picked up a Master & Supply suede jacket awhile ago.

Thanks for the follow up. That's good info to know about the Iron and Resin suede jackets. They look very tempting. But that makes sense-their "Douglas" jacket looks like it tapers wide at the bottom. Kind of the opposite of the typical V shape Type 3 jackets. Probably wouldn't work well on me either. It's surprisingly difficult to find a good quality suede jacket that also fits well.Ah, yes I forgot to mention it here: I bought the Iron & Resin clone of the RRL Alston but returned it: it was too big and I would’ve liked to get the chance to try a smaller size but I got the impression that the pattern wouldn’t work that well on me.

Jacket looked nice though.
