Christmas Jackets?

[pawineguy]

Wow! You guys have some great jackets coming this Christmas. Nice to know I'm not alone in this obsession. I'm hoping to see plenty of pics!

I've had an Aero Dustbowl in a dark seal Italian Horsehide on order for a while- it's already been made once and sent back without me ever seeing it. So hopefully, I'll be getting a call from the good folks at Thurston any day now...

And once the storm of the decade subsides here in SF, I'm going over to Johnson Leathers to pick up a custom half-belt. I had it made in their overdyed black Horween (loosely based on the Levi's black-blue speedway design.)
Holidays are looking up!

I love that overdyed black... can't wait to see how that came out. (and the dark seal for that matter...) You do have a great holiday with the other jacket you picked up recently.

Can't wait to see that...

Well, I was expecting nothing but then the stars aligned. I got a small bonus from work and a GW Dubow 27798 came up on eBay and now I have a Christmas jacket coming next week, fingers crossed. I'm going to give re-dying like a Quartermaster re-issue a try I think. If I can pluck up the nerve. Or I might have Johnson Leathers do it instead.

Either way that's a great grab for Xmas.

Great jacket. You can't have a nicer shade of brown.

Congrats on the GW Dubow!!!

As you know, JC is a master dyer. Why not ask him to do it?

Great boots too. Iron Rangers?

No sir, they're "Chippewa's"...I think they're from their "Heritage Series." A very nice 2 tone, cognac & cordovan, that goes great with blue denim jeans.

I have an Aerial Star in Seal arriving soon. Hope to have that GW before Easter

 

[Sheepdog149]

Thanks guys. She wasn't cheap -- but well worth the "scratch" I saved up, working off-duty details The jacket's heavy horsehide is incredible, feeling a lot more supple than I expected. Tonight, the wife and I went out to grab pizza/beer, and I wore the jacket for the first time. All I can say is -- WOW! It's truly a superb piece. I know Stuart may be controversial at times -- but he's an artisan at his craft. This jacket is probably something I can hand down to our kids...Nah, I'm keeping her

That LW is lovely!

I'm guessing he has his hands full just making jackets. A two year wait list must be a little daunting. I actually kind of want the project as a challenge. It's been awhile since I flexed the creative side of my brain.

Stuart LW is... eccentric, certainly, but the quality of his product is up there with the best of them. Jacket does look great. I really love those boots, though!

Ordered a Mackinaw jeep coat repro from Soldier of Fortune yesterday, so I'll be wearing that over Christmas in the Old Country.
