New Johnson Half-Belt in Horween Overdyed Black

[technovox]

I'm actually waiting on a modified Aero version in an attempt to do this myself. Its based on the premier half belt pattern with the Speedway back in Black Vicenza.

Will post pics when it arrives, hopefully in the next few weeks.

I'll be very interested to see how your modified Aero Speedway version turns out. Should be stunning- especially in the Black Vicenza!

Love the jacket! Johnsons delivers again.

Really like the brown stitching!! I will be using it on my jacket, thanks for the idea!!

I'd love to see one of these rub-off leatger finishes with a cordovan undertone to the black.. Jacket looks nice.

Looks excellent Technovox. And much lighter than the 4oz! One of the cool things about that cowhide, besides the color, is the great grain in areas.

Also, funny how lighting conditions affect this leather. It can range from a near true black to a gray.

You know... I REALLY like that jacket. Really... really like that hide. Fit pics please...

I'm nuts about JL and Alan. If I lived in San Francisco, I don't want to even think about it. I have the same hide and love it. It's funny because Alan touted me off the nickel zips I originally ordered in favor antique brass instead. Maybe the rust knits I used were the clincher. P.S. When it came time to name the thread, I told Alan to pick what he'd use for himself and he selected the same lighter brown stitching. I dig it the most.

I was strongly considering brass hardware. In retrospect, the brass might have worked better with the brown contrast lining. But what ultimately influenced my decision was that the Levis Black-Blue had nickel zips and I was trying to stay true to the original design.

That's the same contrast stitch color I had on my diamond Dave buco. It really does look great

......... was trying to stay true to the original design.

That's a feeling you can't get from a larger, ultimately impersonal company - no matter how nice the jacket is. And (I don't want to make you sob and cry but) if you're like me, you feel it a little every time you wear or even look at it.

Here are some fit pics of the jacket. The jacket length is plenty for me at approx 25"- I really wouldn't want it any longer- despite the low rise jeans (Gustin skinny.)

(Sorry about the delay... I really prefer not being in front of a camera.)

Man that looks great! You don't need our validation obviously but I think the length really works perfectly. I'm really glad I'm not in SF or I'd be spending some serious time in that shop.

Technovox, that jacket is spectacular!

Beautiful & great fit! Stitching really pops

 

[nick123]

That back pic man. So stellar.

 

[RJR]

Really nice!

 

[Worf]

Case closed... I love it! Nice jeans, cap and jacket. Couldn't do any better myself.

[tropicalbob]

It looks perfect on you. Nice job.

 

[trapp]

Awesome. The epitome of understated cool. Love the stitching and that leather is going to look so, so good in six months. That jacket only has good sides!
