    Can't wait to get mine from Greg, that brown is nice. is it more red brown in real life like in the pictures? Any idea how this will age? Thanks

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

    I was told they stock the premium goatskin in black, seal, russet, and cognac.

    That Cossack is nice, can't beat the price too. Will you get buttons or zippers with that?

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    First post on this thread and want to say a BIG thank you to Johnson Leathers of San Francisco for the superb bomber jacket they made for me. Seal brown chrome tanned goat with finish. Cotton drill lining, satin sleeves, snap sleeve closure.

    Just to verify you have russet on top and seal on bottom pic? Thank you, that seal looks great. Similar to this guy I just picked up from JL.

    What color do they offer for the heavy goat? Thinking of getting a trucker from them? Thanks

    Agreed, It's probably not the best that you can make do. Will also be a shame if you can't wear the jacket for extended periods of the year.

    Got it, thank you. I noticed the feeling of that drape when I tried on a naked cow at JL and that was very pleasant to wear. I'll probably opt for a brown cxl steer next time then.

    It does, there's probably a good reason why makers don't recommend that. I'd imagine a costly repair/refining down the road.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Thank you, I'm not familiar with Vicenza but I think I get what you mean. Is it steer or horse? Seriously thinking of getting a brown cal for my next JL or aero jacket. Thanks

    Johnson leather Horween 6oz cxl overdye D-pocket and 4.5 -5oz CXL natural LeatherTogs project

    20 years is a long ways away, hope I can keep that jacket long enough. I was recently breaking in an aero 50s half belt (wore daily for 5 months, slept in it too at times) but someone broke into my car which was a bummer

    Johnson leather Horween 6oz cxl overdye D-pocket and 4.5 -5oz CXL natural LeatherTogs project

    Thanks I'll ask again, Damon told me the black ripstop is slightly heavier than the heavy satin they carry. Is silk too fragile for a liner for a horse hide jacket? Is this your natural cxl?

    Th anks! Definitely a great visual reminder of what could be if you wear something long enough.

    Definitely looks like it was made for you. What hide was used for this jacket?

    Thank you. I only have worn leather jackets with cotton drill/cotton/silk so I'm fairly limited with experience. I should've tried lots of jackets when I was last in the store

    Thanks for the heads up, I looked it up and hope I can get anywhere near that wear. I've a few jackets on order so i won't be dedicate all my time with one jacket. That is crazy nice but probably too much for me but I'll try a heavy steerhide for my next project jacket. I requested ripstop...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Thank you, it won't be ready until November. It's takes after the mulholland and highwayman with a practical 2 way main zipper and chest zipper placement. Hope it turn out well, it's JL so I'm sure it will be. The only thing I'm unsure is the lining. I picked black ripstop, I'm sure it will...
