My first made to Order Leather Jacket - Simmons Bilt Type A-2 Blattwerk Veg Tan Horsehide

[MoFo]

Hi all!

I did it! I've ordered my first made to order leather jacket.
From SB.
And it's amazing!

To be continued...

Details, please!

I woke-up this morning to an email from Debs saying my jacket is finished and ready to ship! Just three weeks after putting down a deposit.

Lookin’ good!
This is a great color that I can’t wear. Kind of like a baseball mitt...
Should age beautifully.

Three weeks - you are a lucky man
My Order had a delivery time of over 6 weeks... due to the new Site and my super duper special Blattwerk Leather that didn't arrive in time.
I have paid the total amount.

Thanks. Yes, it is beautiful (in my eyes) - a little 'special', but I like to stand out of the crowd

Do they follow any particular contract for the A-2 or is it their own intepretation?

Man, that Blattwerk is beautiful!!

I considered that Blattwerk when I was ordering a cafe racer from SB. It has a fantastic feel, color, and grain. Super-soft and pliable--I only opted for a different hide in light of my plans to ride in the jacket.

Congratulations on a beautiful jacket!

Don’t mean to hijack this thread, but I’d love to see a pic of the CR you got from S-B!

Congrats. Looks beautiful.

I'm watching for more SB examples. I'm 90% there on an order. Justin, really can't wait to see yours. I'm thinking something similar, the classic biker and want to see how the no epaulets turns out in a brown color.

Congratulations on your new jacket! Enjoy the break in and also good luck with the next purchase! You need a black jacket! Also a brown one! And different shades of brown! Lol

What do you mean with "CR"?

I don't know...
