Do you have pictures of the green rough out? Sounds very intriguing.
Oddly enough it’s the only green rough they had and just the color I was looking for a moss like

With the green rough out, do you know if it’s dyed through?

And love your boots. Who made them?

It will be a killer combo.

Trust me brother I’m going down that rabbit hole
So the jacket will be all rough out in that green but the crazy thing is that other side is a camo leather so I will incorporate the camo side for accents on the inside of the jacket just not to waste this camo leather I’ve never seen b4 I’m also doing a design on the back in a different leather I know it’s a bit wild but I’m will to pay up to see ideas come to life

I did notice the camo side.

You should think of some exterior accents with the camo as well. Maybe the half belt or pocket welts, etc…

Hi guys, I finally received my Johnson Leather CR. This is a mashup CR made with design elements from two of my favorite CRs: the Bates Competition and the Herm's Leathertog MJ-3B. While owning the Bates I linked to, I aspire to own the Herm's MJ-3B. I initially reached out to Johnson's in anticipation of making a full replica of the MJ-3B, but incorporated elements of both jackets after some reflection.

The design elements incorporated from the Herm's were the epaulets, the red satin interior with dual interior pockets, dual buttons on the collar, and waist adjusters. While borrowed from the Bates were the longer length (roughly 29 inches), split panel and western yoke in the rear, gussets in the armpits (or is it bi-swing?), and hand warmer pockets in the font.

The process lasted 4 months and cost me $1400 for a bespoke jacket in medium-weight tea core Horween horsehide (it is super stiff). This also included a fit coat to ensure the sizing was dialed in. Alan, the semi-retired Johnson Leather OG was so nice and responsive. He truly enjoys his work and it showed. Johnson's didn't nickel and dime on small changes either.

Overall it was a good experience and I would recommend it to others.


Thanks!
