    Vinyl or horsehide?

    The wear at the wrists and along the main zipper look like leather, hard to say for sure.

    Stretching Cowhide Leather

    Personally i don't think two fit pics are enough to tell that a jacket was stretched. I am also having a hard believing the pressure exerted by a comforter stuffed inside a jacket would be enough to stretch it. If that was the case we would all buy jackets that fit and end up with big floppy...

    Stretching Cowhide Leather

    I have washed multiple leather jackets by hand and in the washing machine, I have worn them wet to form to my body, none have stretched. I currently own around 35 leather jackets, I have worn some soaking wet after being cought in the rain, they didn't stretch. My testing has led me to the...

    Stretching Cowhide Leather

    Yes, leather as a material stretches, we all agreed to that on page 1. What we are saying is that once changed into a jacket, constructed of multiple panels assembled by thread and lined it will not stretch any noticeable amount without damage to the stitching or the lining. Yes a belt made from...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I had put the rough out Vanson maverick on hold, but now i am thinking i might just ask for that, black with white sleeves, done. I really really like that a lot more than any dual tone i have seen before...

    Great Leather/LCS repair Dena is AMAZING!!

    That looks great. I'm not sure i see a real difference in the relocation of the side straps (it's different, not sure one is better than the other), but she did a really nice job with these cuffs and the main zipper.

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

    This is Just how Stuart works... I am on jacket no4, I still get single word emails, i still get told things are impossible, to then be told the opposite later on.. For example when i ordered my J-23 i asked for a black curly collar. Stu's answer: "originals were brown, we do them as the...

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

    I am torn. Stuart says he can make a combo, 42 shoulders and arms, but 40 chest. Thing is i am afraid that this will give me a jacket that looks great, but isn't comfortble. In this one when driving for example i can feel that i am using up all the spare room in the back and pits when i reach...

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

    Well, i contacted Stuart, he responded in three minutes: " It can't be adjusted, we must make you a new one. send it back. will take a bit of time" I didn't even have to lie about things and didn't have to damage my jacket to get a new one... Weird!

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

    Donc get me wrong, it's still a great jacket! As @JMax says, it's probably more practical than the J or the LT, it looks better open, it just doesn't feel as fancy or as well designed. Here are a couple quick and dirty pics, please excuse the crappy webcam quality, all i have with me is my...

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

    Let m Let me be more precise, to me the J-23 and LT have great range of motion with no extra loose material. When i wear them they feel trim, the armpits feel tight, but i can still comfortably move however i want without anything pinching or pulling. There is just the right amount of material...
