I've got this jacket in black horse hide. The leather is unevenly thick over the jacket, the neck hole is huge and the sleeves are as straight as planks. Now, I did not indicate three piece curved sleeve nor did I give them neck size.
The horsehide is pretty good but I don't know their goat...
Yeah their website has been under permanent construction. Just call 415-775-7393 and talk to Allan or Damian. They are very helpful and easy to work with
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 great
Yup, JL have been absolutely on the dot for me and what I wanted them to make for me. And they're the only ones, that I know of, to provide mock jacket for fitting. Over all great service and construction for a price that is very reasonable compared, say, to Himmel or Lost Worlds or any Japanese...
As a person who can almost never find a jacket off the rack that would fit even approximately well, I have to order made to measure. Most of the times is a variation of existing pattern/design, with primary concern, functionality as I ride motorcycles and actually want to be able to move my arms...
I forgot to mention that the two HH jackets were variations of patterns they had, plus the sizes are above the average jacket size. So all factors considered I found their pricing reasonable. I have not had any aero products, but from what I've seen their prices are quite comparable.
Their pricing is also tied to the material used. I've had two CXL HH and a bison hide and they were in the 1300+ region. Had I chosen, say, goat or steer, it would've been a couple of hundred or three cheaper
