This again
Four Speed leathers is a man on his own working in his shop, very open to cutomise the jacket any way you would want
Thank you, I did not know that. On his website he lists an upcharge of around $400 for horsehide. I wonder if that is the very same chrome tanned horsehide that he used for the IHJ-35. Iron Heart says that is from a small tannery in Himeji (no surprise....).
A little bit ago I was talking to Langlitz about remaking a Brimaco style cafe racer for me, which they would be happy to do. However, I'd love to have that particular jacket in horsehide, but at Langlitz that is a $1,200 upcharge (and it's not really the type of hide they are known for).
I will hook up with the Four Speed owner next time I'm in Japan and visit him at his shop.
