Was wondering myself if the jacket was anatomically correct! :eusa_clap

Instructions

1
Design the jacket you want to make. You can sketch a pattern yourself or purchase one, and make alterations to suit your needs. You might even find a pattern you like that requires no alterations.

2
Take measurements for your jacket. If you're making it for someone specifically, measure arm length, chest, and overall length. If you're not making the jacket with someone in mind, you will make the jacket according to sizes notated on a store-bought pattern or to a size you determine.

Cut your pattern out. The arms, front, and back of the jacket will be cut as separate patterns and assembled later on.

4
Pin your pattern to your leather material and cut around the pattern to produce the material you will use for your leather jacket. Use a razor knife to cut the leather pattern out.

5
Sew the front and back of your jacket together using special leather needles equipped with teeth to help get through the leather. You can purchase these needles at leather sewing supply shops or most hobby and craft stores (see Resources). Use heavy waxed thread, available where leather needles are found.

6
Sew the arms together and then sew them to the jacket. Try the jacket on yourself or another model before attaching the arms. This will make it easier to make adjustments to the body of the jacket if necessary.

7
Try your jacket on someone after you attach the arms. Make any further alterations, then sew on any buttons or collar to complete your jacket.

Cowhide is the default utility leather today, used for articles that need to last and take plenty of wear - jackets, luggage, etc. Specialty uses include horse tack, gun holsters, and baseballs and gloves.

Horsehide was formerly a utility leather, but it is now far too costly. Today, few horses are used for farming and it's illegal to raise them for meat. Their hides have become very hard to source, and most tanneries will no longer handle them.

Their characteristics are very similar. Horsehide generally is finer grained than cowhide and takes on a little more pleasing luster with use. However, horse can be stiffer and take longer to break in than cow, and some find it less durable.
Features
Horsehide and cowhide can appear as a short-haired, soft, textured material found in natural colors of browns, blacks and whites. Many hides are used for their leather, and in the process lose their color variation. The material is able to be molded, glued and sewn for different uses.

Benefits of Horsehide
Horsehide has a firm grain that keeps the material durable, and also makes it an excellent repellent for moisture due to its density. Because of this, the hide can hold up in humid areas and withstand the presence of liquids.


www.KyleBunting.comBenefits of Cowhide
Cowhide is more readily available than horsehide, and therefore less expensive. The leather is not as dense as horsehide, making it more flexible to sew or mold pieces together.

Considerations
Both hides are durable, so the intended use must be considered when choosing between cowhide and horsehide. For furniture, both have a pleasing aesthetic, yet cowhide coverings likely will be less expensive and easier to manufacture. As the distinctive characteristic that differentiates the two is permeability of water (horsehide being a water-repellent), take the conditions of use into account when selecting.

Uses
Horsehides and cowhides are used for furniture, rugs, gun holsters, clothing and shoes, among other applications. Horsehide shoes and jackets are more readily available than horsehide furniture.

Horsehide has been used for decades to make saddles, shoes, bags and jackets. It makes a durable and long-lasting leather. Though it has been illegal for some time to slaughter horses and ponies for human food consumption, it is still legal to buy and sell the hides. Most of the horse hides on the U.S. market are imported from Europe, India and Mexico, where human consumption of horse meat is still legal and hides are therefore more plentiful. Does this Spark an idea?

A Longtime Favorite
The density and non-porous nature of the hide made it the most popular form of leather in the United States from the 18th century until the late 1930s, when horses, like cattle, were slaughtered for their meat. Once it became illegal for humans in the United States to consume horse meat, horsehide jackets became less easy to come by.

Tanning the Leather
Horsehide is dyed, or tanned, with one or more of three processes: vegetable tanning, chrome tanning and vegetable retanning. Horsehide does not tan uniformly unless it is dyed black, so a good test of true horsehide is to see if the color gradation is uniform across the whole jacket: If the color is not uniform, the piece is probably a true horsehide jacket.

Horsehide jackets tend to be more durable than cowhide but are much harder to break in. Through the tanning process, horsehide takes on a greater thickness than cowhide and can take longer to mold to your body. The leather's thickness protects the body better than cowhide does, which is why so many motorcycle riders choose horsehide instead of cowhide leather.

Horsehide jackets are fairly high-maintenance; they must be oiled or waxed about once a month, which is another reason the majority of leather jackets seen in stores across America are cowhide.

Other Uses for Horsehide Leather
More common today than horsehide jackets are horsehide saddles, holsters and boots. Horsehide tends to be used on items which will benefit most from the rugged nature of the leather.

Horsehide Jackets Today
The value of horsehide jackets has gone up in the past fifty years, according to Legendary Products, which sells vintage horsehide jackets. The company offers leather-care tips on its website, to help wearers protect their investment. Oil- or wax-based leather conditioners, which are available at most leather shops, will keep the horsehide jacket in good condition and will help to waterproof it.

Treatise on Elegant Living - this is not

Treatise on Elegant Living by Honoré de Balzac, Napoleon Jeffries (Translator)
Treatise on Elegant Living 3.79 · rating details · 39 ratings · 6 reviews
Honore de Balzac's 1830 "Traite de la Vie Elegante: Physiologie de la Toilette " was a keystone text on dandyism, preceding Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly's "Anatomy of Dandyism" (1845) and Charles Baudelaire's "The Dandy" (in "The Painter of Modern Life," 1863), and marking an important shift from the early dandyism of the British Regency to the intellectual and artistic dandyism of nineteenth-century France. The "Treatise" is the first true philosophical expression of dandyism, and is full of well-crafted aphorisms: "Elegant living is, in the broad acceptance of the term, the art of animating repose," runs one classic definition of dandyism, and "One must have studied at least as far as rhetoric to lead an elegant life" asserts the importance of verbal pirouette and dexterous quipping to the dandy. Further embellished with anecdotes and historical and personal illustrations, Balzac's "Treatise" even features a fictitious encounter with the original dandy himself, Beau Brummell. Never before translated into English, this witty tract makes for an illuminating cornerstone to Balzac's "Human Comedy" (which was originally to have included a never-completed four-part philosophical "Pathology of Social Life"). Above all, it represents a decisive moment in the history of dandyism, and an entertaining exposition on the profundities of what lies deepest within all of us: our appearance.
