Field Leathers

[Graemsay]

Graemsay mentioned that other colors are available through the sample packs, check about his posts above. I would go with a color that is not offered by Aero at the moment, to get the most out of it. Japanese brands like Mushman is doing the grey, prunga (cordovan), and that blue.

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.

Yeah Greg had said on his stories that there were 4-5 colors he was interested to try. I remember tobacco, sienna, cognac, and bone but might have been one more.

I inquired about the bone. He said it was already spoken for but would try and see if they could send him some extra leather for another jacket. Sure enough, he was able to get some! But sadly, I had to face reality that I have more pressing financial commitments on the horizon. If someone is interested in the bone, there might still be an unclaimed jackets worth.

Hey, anyone here has any idea of which order number is up right now? Roughly, ofc.

I don’t know how sequential the numbering is. But I’m up soon.

I'm #1875. I thought the numbers were sequential...

You're about 80 after me in that case.

I ordered last spring or early summer.

How come this thread is asleep? Where are all those amazing FL jackets!?

 

[mvilla]

I'm wondering how long it'll take to order #1875 haha

 

[mvilla]

I've been preparing these for my jacket! I think they already look acceptable, but perhaps I'll dye them once more

I need to find some single prong buckles in similar colour... Any one can recommend a good place to get it?

New Model from Gregs IG. Kinda Mulholland-PHWM-Hybrid in Badalassi. I like it.

I just put in an order for this style. The Chicago.

I can't really articulate the differences between this style and the Idaho and Michigan and those styles, but this one just looks way cooler to my eye. The wait begins... How long did it take you guys to be next in line?

Summertime blues I suppose. I agree though, this thread should be awakened.

Really cool one! Is that the full aniline? Did you do the "Mark's rotation" to the sleeves?

Looks solid but be careful. I saw a guy here ruin a deadstock Crown by trying to dye it.

What happened? The dye damages the cotton tape?

Thanks. Yes, full aniline.

I gave Greg a custom design and measurements, that’s all. He did the rest. I didn’t mention anything about the sleeves or the shoulders so I’m not sure about that. I received the jacket in July of last year.

Not sure but it looked really bad, almost caked-over.

Love this style! That latest cognac badalassi FL posted in insta is insane!

Bumping this thread with the B-6 pattern test. 27 Celcius right now...

Some updated pics of the FL leathertogs.

The leather looks amazing and the fit is spot on which isn't that much of a surprise of course since by now the pattern is tweaked to perfection.

Then there's the floppiness of the leather. The leather has the right thickness and weight but for a motorcycle jacket style it's just too floppy. The upside is that it's the perfect jacket for a night out as it wears just like a leather shirt. No need to take it off while having drinks at the bar. Looking cool all night wearing my leather jacket

Still, I wish the leather was just a wee bit more firm. I already discussed another Leathertogs design with Greg, the bellhop one. Now in black full aniline shinki hh.

Hi Marc, is that the brown Italian cowhide?
