So I can continue my jacket making hobby I though I would put this jacket up for sale and see if anyone is interested. Ive been wearing it for a few weeks and have replaced the zipper- the vintage Talon I had first put in did not hold up. Knits and Zipper are from G&B, cowhide with cotton liner. Since the first pics this thing has developed incredible grain- it's just popping out all over the jacket. The cow acts more like horse, fairly stiff but graining up almost immediately. I've gotten the jacket completely soaked to see how it would do and everything except the vintage Talon held up well. The cut is slim, this is pretty much a 44. I'm 6' and 197 lbs and it's almost a bit tight on me.
Tons of pics of the construction and me wearing it starting HALFWAY down this page- don't look at the jacket on the top of the page, that is not this one...

This is what it looks like now- not perfect by any means, but not too shabby either. The jacket is a direct copy of a period piece.
