    Japanese brands rejecting Shinki

    Not sure who uses the thinnest, but Johnson leather should be able to source the thinnest available CXL hides

    The Hunt for the Least Restrictive Leather Jacket

    The Hunt for the Least Restrictive Leather Jacket

    London Outerwear meetup 8th of December - Epilogue

    Just checked on Stuarts of London, they are near Sheperds Bush if their google map info is up to date. It would certainly be good to go check the stalls in Portobello market. Good chance for us to share how we looj for the interesting jackets. Lewis Leather is a mandatory stop :D

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Pretty much, the only limiting factor is the size of the hides. Already brainstorming on the next idea :D

    London Outerwear meetup 8th of December - Epilogue

    That's more or less what we did at the first meetup, long walk visiting quite a few shops. IT is a solid choice :) Too bad, I am hoping to make it nto a yearly event, so hopefully next time!

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    I have quite a few red jackets now, I think we need a thread dedicated to red here :D Thanks! When I have wild ideas, I call Johnson leather to see if it is feasible lol

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    That jacket was an attempt at reproducing the East West "smoke". I guess you already read how I went about ordering it? It is a jacket that will work in all colours, would be best if the HH is not too stiff and hevy if you went down that route. As for the Winchester, that is also a great...
