    Trial and error, as frustrating as it was because you didn't see the results you wanted, eventually it's down to the right materials and technique. I'm glad you persisted with this as it's not just the result but it also encourages you to try different things. Looking forward to seeing those...

    Sorry about the double post and the crappy picture but I'm wearing this thing every day and I love it!

    Congrats on your patience with this! I really thought you're going to scrap it at some point :D How does the leather feel now? Some really nice shades there.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Thank you @Robbie79! In the first pictures, the colours were due to Shawn's camera :D I really like this design and that's why I said I'm pretty sure it would look fantastic in a nice hh leather. What I insisted on mostly was the pocket design and the piping height as it's the main feature and...

    The improvements are great on this one. Fits you well. I'm glad you're happy with the leather and the jacket overall :)

    Came out really good! Great fit and I like that horsehide. If it would have been a bit thicker I'd have ordered mine in hh. Congrats!

    Thank you! It's a custom design, I didn't get it from their website. No idea if they will put it on the website though or give it a name, although sauvage sounds good :D

    Got it, makes sense then. With your collection though, I wouldn't be worried :) I'm glad I picked this design, I might redesign it at some point to have it done in a different leather as I agree with you about it being more versatile and looks really nice.

    Love that trucker, it doesn't seem that dull though but if you think it will help why not. I'm sure the smell will go away slowly, the jacket feels nice to wear since it's a bit roomier than the CR.

    I've been wearing it today for a bit of shopping, the jacket feels more solid with the heavy cotton lining comparing to the quilted lining on the CR.

    FS: Chevignon leather vest, sz. M (40-ish)

    The last time I wore a vest was in college when I was wearing cowboy boots and living a crazy life as an artist. Nowadays the only time I wear a vest if it's part of a 3 piece suit. Maybe one day I'll start wearing them again, who knows :)

    Makes sense, I liked the lighter tones but it's always harder to brighten the dark areas than the other way around so I get that.

    I thought you're going to leave it closer to natural leather. Good luck with the cordovan then :)

    That's a beautiful vest! Sadly I don't wear vests, otherwise, I would have told you to ship it over as measurements are spot on. Good luck with the sale!

    That's exactly what I thought, I've asked if he can make it shiny as it's too matte. You can tell the difference indeed from the first pictures before the treatment. The hide was great before but it's better now. I just gotta get rid of the smell :D

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Thank you! Leather is not squeaky at all and it's very thick, I just asked for their thickest black goat. I just tried to measure it and you can see the result, not sure if I did it right though. Shawn said he can wax it and iron it in order to get a sheen so I told him to go for it. Thank...

    That's a challenging project, well done!
