There's a shop called Black and Blue but it's not in Amsterdam. But maybe you can get on the train if you are so inclined.

Absolutely amazing @red devil - thanks for putting me onto this. I would want the lightning, twist and church. I would like to go out there and order myself, maybe in 9-12 months' time. I was thinking of hiring an interpreter because you say the guy does not speak any English.
It's interesting...
I would like a jacket in the badalassi ortensi. Who could make me up a jacket in that leather? SB?

I'm completely amazed by "Electric Leather Studio" brand which @red devil pointed me to. I feel like I must fly out to Japan to get measured up and have about five jackets made up. What's stopping me? Oh yeah, that thing called money. Drat!

It's not happening on my two other LLs or any other LL I have handled. To compound the problem, this particular batch of horsehide seems quite lightweight, meaning that it flares out even easier, and making the jacket in question feel not worth the price tag. I know that batches of horsehide can...
The stitching is not undone. But the two pieces of leather forming the lapel don't stay together; they separate, forming a space inside the lapel, which then looks deformed. Does that link work?
This is weird. Factory new jacket - the two pieces of the lapel leather on one side are not "stuck" together - instead both are flaring out away from each other, creating a "prism"-shaped void (think: Toblerone) and a crease on the inside lapel leather. This also looks weird when the jacket is...
