Stunning jacket.

Didn't get good lighting but couldn't resist trying to take a few more pics, so apologies for my non-existent photography skills (I should really take a few basic photography courses or ask someone knowledgeable to give me a few tips). Here goes:

Man it somehow manages to look amazing in all lighting. The color may be slightly different based on lighting and background. But I think that speaks volumes for the true color...it looks good any time any place!

It’s not something I give all that much thought to but that jacket is stitched to the nuts. It’s really incredible. Devil has amassed some of the most uniquely beautiful jackets displayed here.

From what I see on the pictures (which is not like handling it person of course) the way it’s finished on the inside is also up there with Freewheelers etc. If not better.

Out of curiosity, anybody knows if Theo makes all the jackets or is it more than a one man operation?

I believe he has help. Much like Himel.

I have been wearing it and looking at it the whole day, and the colours is a mix of burgundy, dark brown and maybe a bit of black. The colour is absolutely stunning, will be posting more pics as I get better lighting and wear it.
This is my first goat hide jacket and it certainly makes a convincing case for goat!
The hair panels are also natural, so there some lighter hair in various places, but a small amount, so it only gives a hint of the lighter colour.
And finally the jacket does give an intoxicating smell

Thanks Ton, all I can say is that this forum has been a huge source of inspiration so far... and it never ends
The stitching was all Theo's idea, really love this thick thread he used here!!

The unique color of the leather is really spectacular. The liner is also fantastic. Most importantly, the synergistic interaction between the leather, black hair, and liner is other worldly! I have seen many unique and special jackets on the pages of TFL, but I have never seen anything quite like this one. It is subtly audacious, conspicuously understated, and vividly muted. It is a multi-faceted dichotomy that beautifully and seamlessly integrates a variety of tones, textures and character. Well done!

In time, this jacket will be a centerpiece in Rin Tanaka's book: A Century of Repros: 1990-2090.

I didn't understand half of what you wrote, but I take it you like the jacket too?

Thanks @Superfluous ! It all worked out much better than I could have ever expected and I was hyped

Theodoros thought of the hide as soon as we were finalising the jacket specs, we then looked at quite a big selection of cow panels before we chose this one (again, I had a lot of help from Theodoros as I was getting overwhelmed by the choice), and finally the liner was in Tokyo. I was walking in the Fabrics street and picked it up on a whim, glad I did!

Would make my grandson proud if that ever happened and it would likely be Rin Tanaka the Second or Third

Never was a "Grizz" fan. But yours looks spectacular. Always scared that if I wore one I'd get mistook for a bear and blasted! Well done!

My lord, he has to make this a regular offering.

My lord, he has to make this a regular offering.

I thought that too but I wonder if he even could...seems like a whole lot of special sauce in one jacket. Just wait until he takes a pic in full sun outside wearing it. We’ll all need our jaws wired shut.

A quick way to find out is to try placing an order

Just waiting for the sun! It was pretty grey today

 

[HoosierDaddy]

Just curious...Is there any concern that the cowhide will become dry and shed? Or is it treated somehow to eliminate that worry.

I understand. It made a brief appearance in Chicago today...so I know it still exists.

I will send him these pics and say— in a size 42/44, NOW!!!! Lol. Amazing jacket. Up there with the green moose LW Trojan

Perhaps one less nuanced. Even a lesser version of this would be great.

It's supposedly very durable, not sure how it got treated though. But Theodoros told me to treat like any other jackets, ie. expose it to the elements, ride with it, etc.

It got exposed to rain yesterday but it didn't complain

We're of a similar size
I really love the moose hide, it's heavy (5oz) yet it drapes incredibly well, really wraps itself around you.

Perhaps one less nuanced. Even a lesser version of this would be great.

The pattern is now there, I can imagine many variations of this jacket, a buffalo hide version could be a real winner!
