    Johnson Leather Jacket

    I saw the jacket he made himself with the skived CXL, same batch of leather used for my car jacket. Beautiful jacket, but we just laughed about how stiff CXL is even after being skived down, mine still looks like it did when it was new only a little bit more pliable now.

    So that Vermont leather... why the hell did I let TFL talk me into CXL, lol, jk. The Vermont leather is supple, pliable, and remarkably light, vs CXL being stiff, hard wearing, and heavy. Vermont is very easy wearing, you could almost equate it to a lambskin jacket. And I got to see your...

    Those are the finesse touches that elevate a product into something desirable. It requires a mind for design and art, vs manufacturing and engineering. Maybe write Custom Tailor Made or something like that as a separate badge on the special leather.

    I think it's because that's what alot of fast fashion makers are ordering from him. He clearly is setup for mass scale, so I'm sure he attracts a more budget oriented wholesale orders, so generic will rule the day. You raise a good distinction with the grey underneath in that I have no...

    You'd have a hard time buying anything off the rack in that type of leather that fits that good, so I'd chalk it up as a total win. But of course, things can always be better, and it does have room for improvement, as smarter people here have said, break it in more, then decide.

    Seriously, this new leather is a total game changer for me. The challenge though of course is that you need to be heavily involved in the process. On the other end of the spectrum, from what I read about say FL, they really get the fit right far more often than not, as FL does alot of the fine...

    Yeah, fit is a very finicky thing to get right. Consider that when getting a normal suit made, with wool fabric being much easier to work with than leather, let alone the types of leather we fawn over here, even a Savile Row tailor will need at least a couple fittings to get the fit right...

    That leather is gorgeous, and it does seem less unwieldy than Ton's. Seriously gorgeous, looks as good as anything coming out of Chicago, and the color is spot on.

    Sorry I meant memory meaning that it doesn't want to break in, crease, etc, going back to/remembering where it started.

    Do you think that the thickness contributes to that "memory"? So not something to wear in the rain then?

    So we got confirmation that these hides can be skived. So now we have a beautiful dark brown, and a black in the works... I really like the brown on your's @ton312... I usually go for black especially if it's teacore, but that brown is mesmerizing.
