One of the best jackets I've seen from Greg.

Good decision! Which one? What kind of leather? Or are you still in the selection phase like me as you have enough time? I remember 14 months ago when I ordered my first...waiting time was about 3 weeks. Enjoy wearing your other jackets till then

Likely Brown Shinki pygmented.

the design will include a big crossed chest pocket.

I also love this clean design

FL brown pigment dyed Shinki looks and feels exactly like this 75 year old Windward.

I am planning on ordering a Field Leathers sheene this week or next. Can anyone answer some questions about the Brown oil tanned Pony leather

1. Is it really durable / tough?
2. How does it hold up in rain?
3. Will this patina like a top coat jacket?
4. is the oil pony a aniline leather?
5. Any examples of patina with this leather?

1) It's 1.3 mm horsehide. That's thicker than a lot of vintage jackets that have survived decades of wear.
2) It looks like it has a (semi) transparent topcoat so it's probably water repellent
3) It has a top coat so I guess it will.
4) From what I've seen, the hide still shows imperfections / color variations so I guess it is aniline dyed.
5) I believe Greg made his first oil tanned pony jacket last week. Judging by the pics, this pony looks a lot like the hides Himel uses:

If you order now, you have a year left to think about which leather you'll choose

I placed an order this morning. I wish he could find a darker brown aniline leather or another darker shinki leather that did not use a top coat. I had a jacket that used a top coat once and I did not Like the light brown base showing through the dark brown top coat. I never really wanted a black jacket but if he doesn't get a darker Aniline leather before he is ready to make mine, I may just pull the trigger on the black aniline. It will be a hard decision between that and this new pony

Does he ever use buttons on his jackets? I've yet to spot a single buttonhole on any of the ones I've seen.

With wait times closer to a year now, there are likely to be some different leather options by the time you need to make decisions.

Stunning!

Is that collar a little taller than normal? I wonder if the customer spec’ed that because they have a long neck?
