    What backpack could concievably be appropriately styled for wear alongside a B3 or ANJ4

    If you want a leather backpack, I like the Loyal Stricklin Rucksack, the Kasperi Fold Top, and the deerskin pack that Matthias Steinhauser makes. For canvas, you could try Trakke and the GoRuck M23. Cabourn had a made in Japan reproduction of the Swiss Army Rucksack, and he was working on a...

    Electric Leather Studio

    If you look at the original picture of the shirt, it's unlined. The outside has been sprayed a more uniform colour, which I think will wear off over time, whilst the inside is the back of the black and red leather strips it's sewn from. I'd have it as a single layer, and just allow the inside...

    Electric Leather Studio

    There's a genre of reversible leather shirts from the seventies. Since the Electric Leather piece is unlined, it might be possible to add double sided snaps, make a few changes to the collar and sleeve seams, and be able to wear it both sides out.

    Is it wrong that I'm having bad thoughts about the two-tone leather shirt that I posted a few months ago?

    Field Leathers just posted a story linking to Mark Grether on Instagram. He's a German artisan who makes reproduction leather jackets, and they look very nice.

    newtojackets is no longer new to jackets: sharing my leather jacket collection

    Crowtree Leathers were a highly regarded makers of motorcycle leathers. They used to be very highly regarded and I believe that they were popular with road racers, or the nutters who ride things like the Isle of Man TT. They were highly regarded on the biker forums in the noughties. I think...

    Backpacks - need some ideas...

    If you want something that looks a bit like a briefcase, the Frank Clegg English Backpack would work. There are some waxed canvas backpacks from Trakke, Filson, and Fjallraven that might work. Trakke is working on a collaboration with Nigel Cabourn that's due in a few months and looks lovely...

    Badalassi Carlo Leather - Appreciation Thread

    The Carlo Pueblo in R Antico looks like a faded pink when new, but the buffed or polished patch is a lovely brick red. I think that it'd be an interesting option for a jacket, but whether I could convince Greg to use it for my upcoming one...

    Field Leathers

    I'm not sure if Greg is offering alternative colours via the sample pack. From my discussion with Sam, I got the impression that he's ordering a few hides to try. Then again, if you asked for Prugna (which looks completely awesome), I'm sure that they could tag it to the order.

    Field Leathers

    Incidentally, A. & A. Crack, the supplier whose website I linked to for the Badalassi leathers have some fantastic hides. My favourite is probably the vegetable tanned Horween Bison, which looks as though it's a tea-core, since the back side is brown. They also have wild Elk and Kudu from...

    Field Leathers

    I believe that he's getting in several shades of brown, along with bone, which Sam confirmed is a natural / undyed hide. I didn't ask about other shades of brown. However, in an Instagram story, Greg mentioned that Badalassi offer sample packs, which contain enough leather to make up one or two...

    Thoughts on the Black Bear Brand Western Horween Jacket?

    Indigofera often produce iterations of the Fargo in leather. This is the latest in a rough-out cowhide, via Pancho and Lefty. Other colours are available. I'm not sure when a shirt becomes a jacket, but I think that this Fargo is on the dividing line.

    Field Leathers

    Field Leathers have posted a cloth prototype of a Peter's Tailor Made jacket to their Instagram Stories. There are photos of an original on the Freewheelers website. I prefer the prototype because it's cleaner, though I'm sure that Greg could build a stripped down version.

    The Oostpoort in Delft. I lived on Brabantse Turfmarkt in an apartment above the Kruidvat between 2005 and 2008. It's a lovely city.
