    Johnson Leather Jacket

    Those would be a more appropriate choice for a medium brown leather like how you want yours to look. Hope Damon gives you a good headache with the leather choices. The Vermont is also a good option but it should probably too dark for your needs. Good luck with that @Liam33

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    It's repels a little water so it does better than a full aniline leather but yes I agree there's better more hard wearing jackets out there for inclement weathers for riding mainly chrome tanned jackets.

    Do try this at home: leather jacket repair tips

    We need more threads like this for minor DIY repairs. Thanks for posting this what if only the pull is the one that needing replacing? Just use pliers to remove the old pull and place the new one?

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    Looks great in the photo and even better in real life. That hide seems like it will show nice wear and I'm guessing it should darken over time some too. Pls do post f/u pic when you can. The Seal Vermont is a good option for a dark brown jacket and it is similar in how cxl burgundy/cordovan is...

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    Welcome @Liam33 and advanced congratulations on your first leather jacket and a bespoke one at that. Shoot I was just at JL today and had not read that you wanted a photo of a made jacket with that brown German horsehide. My apologies but I believe @technovox may have a sample of that brown...

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    Perfect call on the hardware choice, it really pops and in a good way too. I do wear my JL shirt as well but it's a too tight so I relegate it for home use only lol

    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    My jackets are so new (the oldest is about 13 months) that I never have to deal with something like this Can't wait to see what pattern you ended up choosing and the leather to be used. Yep, looks like the sleeves could do with added length to account for shrinkage especially if the leather...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Man that looks so good on you. Congrats on getting this and thanks for letting me have the brown one. This fit looks so perfect here and looks like it has been well loved and those browns showing thru looks fantastic. That's sucks about the zippers on both jackets. Will you replace it with a...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    The JH1 belt looks cool indeed. I have that similar design to my Vanek jacket but it's awkward. Not sure if the jacket was made for a lefty but the pull is on the left side. It's hard to align the pin with pull That's also one way of doing it, this seems very secure

    It's so nice having the snap by the zipper stop, mrfrown/red devil recent JL cross zip have them and it's a cool detail as well as functional. I will definitely copy that when I get my LAPD made lol I haven't seen a Cal with a through belt so I can't imagine how it would look but I think it...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    That's very rider friendly especially when off the bike and it's hot as balls out there. I haven't noticed that before, is that how Vansons/Langlitz/Schott are designed? I can certainly imagine the buckle can get annoying to have when unbuckled and is not secured. Or when the belt is so brand...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Both look appealing in my eyes whether attached or detachable and have noticed some belts/epaulletes/loops get sheared off as well. I prefer to have a detachable belt so it's easier to live with and wear on a day to day basis I find it cool when people wear the belted jackets open with the...
