Incoming Field Leather Manhattan (J-24) modified with a different back/sleeve design and will have detachable mouton collar as well. Greg will remake the whole jacket as the leather used on the front panels is a little too thin for his liking to ship out. Greg said he will likely use this jacket in his shop as a sample.

Wow what a beauty!! i love the new back and sleeves.
Always fun seeing the very detailed story of the jacket being made. I'm okay with the current set up lol I don't want to take too much out of his version of the J24 as he already indulged me enough with my requests. The only thing that will change there is the color of the lining(red)/zipper sleeve construction/detachable mouton collar/snap button to the collar,lapel and bottom snap on the hem like the j24LI just saw that, and it looks great!
Push him for a larger, more pointy, and fish-mouthed collar shape on the re-do.
It would also look cool w/o the little coin pocket on the D.
Dang that's beautiful!
I was thinking about going with that sleeve design as well for my Manhattan. Still on the fence as I do eventually want to get an actual Leathertogs made up at some point.Incoming Field Leather Manhattan (J-24) modified with a different back/sleeve design and will have detachable mouton collar as well.

It couldn't hurt to get them for both maybe just switch the finish of the hardware (available in nickel/brass and I'm sure it can be had in other finishes too). I also would love a FW La Brea in brown but im between sizes for the pattern so it might not work out and I might need to have it made to order as well.I was thinking about going with that sleeve design as well for my Manhattan.

whoa. wow. Wait, is this you buying someone else's jacket that hasn't passed muster? Or your design from beginning and he's making some tweaks. Thought I saw something similar to this recently. It's beautiful. Pretty much a freewheeler La Brea rip off. If I had to get another jacket from Greg, probably would be this exact one except in brown.Incoming Field Leather Manhattan (J-24) modified with a different back/sleeve design and will have detachable mouton collar as well.

@Jin431 duuuuuude seeing that JL in Vermont is 1) an eye-opening BEAUTY and 2) getting me pumped up for my JL “Cascade”
Design on your cyclist jacket is very neat. Love the bottom snap work.

Is this the teacore leather? With dark brown stitching? Thinking of using that same combo on my custom FL. Greg should have my mock-up jacket ready in a few weeks.
Planning a custom design, cafe racer with collar. Need to talk through some of the details with Greg.Yes you got it right for both. Good luck with your project, what pattern will you get?

Don't be worried with the fit on the mock up jacket too much, he doesn't dwell a lot of time on making them. Note all the details once he gets to your order, he is still a one man opearatjon and can only focus on certain projects that is at hand. The completion time might take longer than advertised but i feel it's worth the wait.Planning a custom design, cafe racer with collar. Need to talk through some of the details with Greg.
Looks like it! Should have the JL sometime this week, the FL remake should be finished tomorrow and will be delivered sometime next week. Thanks manCongrats on both! Big week for you.
