Just shoot me a message - mine came out very uniformly colored (factory-like), but there is a trick to it.I'm a big fan of those DETROITs as well ...
Yours looks splendid - maybe would be worth condiering for me as well to dye one of mine

Iron Hear Rider Denim SuperBlack. Really enjoy wearing this one.
They are ! Great to wear on a bike too, those shoulders are really comfortable.These are great jackets.
That leather is stunning.
Great styling!

Some photos of the new SB V2. The actual colour is the darker orange shade (the camera does weird things to colours). I modified it by getting Oakland-style sleeves as I have several button-up cuffs on other jackets. Stitching is tight and uniform. Although it is heavy, the Blattwerk is pliable and the weight is well-distributed across the neck and shoulders so that it doesn't 'hang'. I went for an open double-welt chest pocket and one inner snap-closure one. I'm really impressed with this jacket. Thanks to Debs and Moira.

@zebedee Wow the Blattwerk leather looks fantastic and such a beautiful grain. Great jacket! I got Blattwerk samples from SB back in 2017 but the samples did look different than your jacket which was a main reason why I decided not to order a jacket....now it appears that it was a wrong decision.Some photos of the new SB V2.

This Blattwerk is steer/bull - I have samples of the Blattwerk horsehide, too: I am told that the mahogany steer and horse look the same...@zebedee Wow the Blattwerk leather looks fantastic and such a beautiful grain.

Cheers - I am really pleased with the leather and the jacket overall. I was hesitant about a shawl collar at first but I think it's pretty coolCool jacket and very beautiful hide!
