Anyone seen high-end jackets in light tan or cognac goat?

[zebedee]

I'm just wondering if it appears in colours apart from black, seal and russet or if any of our favourite manufacturers stocks it, even on an infrequent basis.

Monarchs are available in those colours of goat. I inquired last year and he had both. The tan more like a light honey colour was a limited thing he had and did not know if more could be obtained. The hide was too thin for my liking so I passed but the possibility was there.

I know it exists, but I definitely do not see goat in those colors too often. However, if you're willing to go with deerskin you have a lot more options. Definitely a LOT of deerskin in that color.

This is Thedi's goat - not sure if the colour does match your requirements:

Which makers do deerskin? I'll look into that.

That's the deerskin colours offered by Thedi....Theodoros also offers a vintage brown one.

Dave Sheeley is working on a project with goatskin. This is a picture he sent me. Not sure if this is what you are looking for.

Freewheelers and Thedi both do with Thedi having a lot of choices. I know Himel has also done deerskin and one of his deerskin colors was quite light. I don't know if he still has that. Also, there are some cool older Flat Head jackets hanging around grailed, ebay, and especially yahoo auctions Japan in some beautiful lighter deerskin colors.

I looked at the email again for more pics. Dave said this was a special batch and did not think the supplier would do anymore. So, not sure if it is still available.

This is the jacket in the picture

This jacket is literally perfect! Is it in a man's size?

Yes and No. The zipper is on the "female" side for USA, the tag size is 42. It was probably a size 36/38. I traded it to Dave. He has a strong affinity for the Scully Bros. brand. He has several. A reproduction based on this and other Scully jackets is in the works. Stay tuned.

 

[handymike]

Oh yeah, I remember the Scully. Loved it then as I do now! I should contact Dave.
