Shipped today! Sweet baby Jesus, please be this color. Please, please, please. This looks closest to the screen grab I sent him for the hide.

Wow!! That neck strap is is thick as a brick. What is the overall thickness of the jacket ?

 

[PilotJens]

Is that Shawn who models the jacket? Lol
.Did he produce the hide or is it sourced ?

I don’t think that is Shawn but I have no idea. That hide is russet steer! I’m quite sure it’ll be less cordovan/purple irl but I am hoping that it keeps some semblance of this purple, it’s perfect for this jacket.

My sample of russet steer is pictured in my last pic so I don't understand how it looks purple .Maybe that is red russet steer ?

I am working on a modified version of the "CIVILIAN VINTAGE 1930'S CLASSIC MEN REAL LEATHER JACKET" on the Five Star Leather website with Shawn. It will be in buffalo leather. He said it will be around 350$. Has his price been about the same for others with modified models?

Does that include the leather?!

Thin. 0.8-1mm. Unfortunately it’s REALLY light.

I’ve video conferenced with Shawn a couple times.... pretty sure that’s him.

 

[navetsea]

well, that's a brand owner who stand inside their product, can't say anything go behind his QC, since he is wearing it before sending it

Shawn said he can produce aniline steerhide on demand if the quantity is big enough.
Who of you would have a fundamental interest in aniline steerhide?
Maybe we can get the amount we need

 

[PilotJens]

I am very close to ordering a russet steerhide Cossack but I can wait .

Count me in. I’ll have him spin this up:

 

[PilotJens]

So I would be in for one jacket possible two .How many jackets/hides would he need/ I would pay a premium if that can sweeten the deal
