How’s the fit? Based on website photos, I love how clean it is. I actually just emailed John about possibly ordering one — we’ll see if I receive a response.Thanks for asking. It’s a beauty. John C. let me know a bit about it- it was an early prototype for his cafe racer patterns. The leather is a chrome tanned steerhide.
I seem to have lost my original pic so an outtake is all I have left. I know I posted another pic on the VLJ Forum.How’s the fit? Based on website photos, I love how clean it is. I actually just emailed John about possibly ordering one — we’ll see if I receive a response.
I actually ran across this photo of you earlier and didn’t realize it was you. It looks AWESOME and is definitely propelling my desire to have a similar one made. I get the annoyance of the collar, but personally find that size to be more attractive than smaller, floppier mandarin collars — worth the nuisance.I seem to have lost my original pic so an outtake is all I have left.

It is indeed clean. No sleeve zips. I remember John saying this one was made way back in 2009, so you can use that as a point of reference.
Only complaint (and it’s just one of those design quirks) is that the mandarin collar is the type that kind of obstructs the neck. In a strange way I kind of like it. However, I think his current CR collar is smaller.
I’ll try to locate that other zipped up photo for you.
Good to know the hide. Didn’t think it looked like Shinki or Italian HH.Thanks for asking. It’s a beauty. John C. let me know a bit about it- it was an early prototype for his cafe racer patterns. The leather is a chrome tanned steerhide.
