    If you had to choose only one leather jacket...

    It would be my most worn jacket most likely, so I get to wear the others more

    Thanks! I lik,e playong with colours :D If you go for Ostrich, keep in mind a few points: - You need big ostrich hides for a jacket, the biggest you can find. - Ostrich is more expensive than the usual leathers - About half of the hide has full quills, about a qurter has sparse quills and the...

    The thread is here I find the jacket comfortable, I use it as any jacket, driving, going out, eating, etc. JL found the skins for that one, I don't remember how many hides, but they were not big hence the choice of a trucker which is great due to the numerous panels. I considered all of these...

    I know the feeling... Does not mean that it will not work out for you necessarily though. JL has really good patterns, their jackets are comfortable and have great mobility, case in point You can see how it looks when I raise my arms. The leather here is not that heavy but this still...

    Seeking the Holy Grail of Leather: In Quest of the Perfect Asymmetrical Jacket

    I would take deer over goat for that soft touch. Otherwise if it has to be horse, then , 1mm thick horse should do the trick. And as others have said there is no "perfect jacket" but there are great collections that are still evolving lol

    If you want a 10lbs, I would recommend a bit of a longer jacket in their bison. This jacket here is 4.06 kg / 8.95lbs So a longer jacket, say a car coat will hit the 10lbs goal while still be something you can wear everyday. If I didn't have quite a few orders already with JL, I would...

    Post Thedi Leather Jacket Photos Here........

    Let's just say that Thedi is at the top. Not the best, I have not found a "best". But in this tier of makers, you are in good hands. The difference becomes really a matter of preference. Schott jackets - I don't own one but have handled them - are very solid choices, just not at that level or...

    I think he calls it cognac now although I always called it "tan". In any case I wore it on the motorbike under a heatwave, that certainly helped darken it fast lol

    No, it is a leather jacket designed to be worn in most conditions. While it will not keep you dry, it will take character after taking some rain or under the sun. As Theo says, the leather will tell its story. No need to overthink it, just wear that jacket whenever you feel like it, it will...

    Exploring the Uncharted Territory of Crocodile Leather Jackets

    Thanks! I do not have rock star panache - wish I did! - But I do intend to find out if I can pull it off. It has been on my mind for years. Either way it can only be fun :D

    Exploring the Uncharted Territory of Crocodile Leather Jackets

    Difficult to tell for sure, but it seems genuine. I have been wearing crocodile shoes quite regularly, if the hides are well cut and matched, it is not jarring to look at. A jacket is more visible of course, this I have not tried yet
