They are excellent folks. Do you have a photo of a J-23 they created?

The Schott 628us arrived yesterday. The Horween veg. oil tanned steer hide looks and feels like I think my 50s Langlizt horsehide Langlitz would have been before summited to being worn, smooth, luxurious, conforming to my body. The hide smells a lot like my Himel shinki oil-tanned horsehide.

Awesome. Larger coin pocket or remove it. It would look good without it too. Like a J-82.

I think I will delete the epaulets, belt loop and snaps, I also want bigger collar like LW.

That’s because you are a legend! Your reputation precedes you.

Like a Commando or a Flat Head with larger collar. Very nice. Might as well delete the full AB. Just have shoulder gussets, if that. Simplify it all. Man, I’m interested to see how it all works with the 6 oz. You lead the way on this one

Maybe a little bit of both at the same time...
I get it though man, I love the heavy leather. I can’t wait to hear how this one turns out for you and to see some photos of the finished product.

Didn't you say you quit on heavy leather? Glad to have you back. I'd go for the same thing if I wasn't in Europe.

I would spec it at 7.5 oz if you want a true 6. My JL was advertised as 4.25oz but was more like 3.5. It was lighter than the cordo Halfbelt which is true 4oz cow. I second jmax thoughts on deleting the coin pocket. It’s way too small and it might be risky trying to resize it. I can’t wait to see the pics of this jacket. Should be a legit 13lb’r.
