Storm, that dog sure blends into the snow. It snowed in Dallas Christmas day but only 2" to 4" although stranded many travelers at DFW and Dallas Love with numerous cancelled flights. Good looking jacket.
I thought I had posted a comment after you posted your photos of the jacket, but I guess not.
That is a fantastic looking jacket. I was very curious to see how it turned out as I almost went with the tobacco bison hide as well (although not nearly as thick). Alan had sent me samples of the tobacco and the mocha bison. While the mocha seemed more practical, I thought the tobacco was more unique and a bit more attractive.
By commenting later on, I can add that as great as your jacket turned out I'm afraid that it plays second fiddle to your four-legged friend. Great Pyrenees? A friend of mine had a couple of Great Pyrenees a number of years back. They were massive creatures and perhaps the most timid canines that I had ever met. Beautiful dogs.

There's been a good deal of fine jackets from Johnson Leathers that have come through here.
This one though has actually inspired me to make an order with Johnson leathers.
The leather on that jacket is remarkable looking and I'm sure you will get decades of hard use out of it.
Thanks for posting, or else I wouldn't have known Johnson Leathers had such amazing bison leather.
Just a great jacket.
When I went in I said to Alan, as many other have, that the website doesn't do him justice and he said that this year they were going to really update it. As I've been talking to him on the phone about a new jacket that I'm about to pull the trigger on, I kid him (on the square) that when he goes big time, it may not be so easy to just call and talk to him any old time I feel like it.
I really liked being able to talk one on one as well. They have been around 25 or so years right? I would think that if demand did go up because of word of mouth or a new website, etc. they would raise custom prices to increase profit and keep demand in check. Alan didn't seem like the type of guy that would be thrilled at the prospect of not being able to give personal attention to the one-off customs.
If I travel to frisco again I definitely want to see the shop.
