Not so sure. I have four button up leather jackets, two are easy buttoning, one was kind of ok but still „bleeding finger“ category during break in, one - a kakishibu horsehide coat from Y2 - is still pretty much unbuttonable to this day. I think it’s a mixture of thickness/stiffness of the...

Very nice!

That´s what I thought too; but for the Gardener it looks too refined. Maybe the angle (and lightning). Very attractive...!

FYI, I spoke with Mark/Rebecca, and they mentioned that they had capacity for "one or two jackets" at the moment. Just saying.

Well done! An RMW on steroids! Is that the Craftsman? Also, which leather is that? Looks spectacular!

Yes, the whole "custom" process is really not as appealing to me as it once was. You fill out endless forms for measurements just to wait the triple amount of the promised time and get a jacket that fits less good than any OTR product ;). I am half-joking, of course, but I rarely go down the...

Thanks for sharing. A fun read, and the pictures alone are super beautiful.

Oh yeah! Saw that lineup in 2019 in a 3.000 people place. What a show! I must have seen Jinjer 4 or 5 times by now. Always a treat!

Thanks! I appreciate that. The colour steers clear of that „pinkish-white“ hue, you so despise. I would describe the colour as ‚caramel‘, but it sure is going to darken somewhat. The ‚sunlight pictures‘ reflect the colour quite well.

Great! Haven’t seen something like this in a while. Had the same Levi’s Type 3 with a large Motörhead embroidery on the back. My wifef found it mildly embarrassing, so I only wore it for Barbecues or some such.

You can expect a price reflecting the bespoke experience. I don’t really want to put down a number as I am sure with the mini turnover they have, changes in prices/availability for hides, lining, hardware can have a huge impact.

I am sure the two are open to discussing modifications. My impression is that they try to dial in the basic pattern for a limited number of models, but I can’t see alterations not affecting pattern being off limits.
