My most priced jacket; purchased on ebay while I was visiting my son at the University of Arizona in Tucson. My son is now 32 and well established. I was on leave from work due to breaking my foot hide siding on my motorcycle. I used a hotel computer and the seller was in Tucson. I paid the most I have for any of my jackets at $1200. The next bid under me for $800 the reserved tiger my bid. The hide on this jacket is my favorite of all the jackets I have handled. The jacket is in better than new condition, came with a golden brown collar that I can no longer find. Most have been lost when I moved 7 years ago.
The hat is a custom hand made of beaver felt as good as any Stetson 100 I have handled an ebay score prior to finding the jacket.
I would like to thank all those that leave kind comments regarding my recent post. I am comfortable wearing leather jackets and felt hats. The last two event weddings I attended, I changed into a leather jacket after the ceremony.

Jon, Do you still have the Johnson Leathers Levi's repro? I used your photos to have Alan recreate that jacket for me but I always felt yours turned out better. Would love to see some updated shots of that!

Still have it. I wasn't wearing it for a while I had put on weight. I clean up some bad habits and starting working out daily and it fits again. The leather is still stiff needs more break in to get comfortable. Grain wise the hide is developing nicely. I chose shaved black overdye. I purchased a jacket from an FL member made from the none shaved black overdye and like the shaved version better. The other jacket was made while I was being fitted for my Jacket. Alan had me try it on so I could sample the none shaved leather, so I knew the jacket would fit prior to purchase.
I will see if I can talk my personal photographer AKA "honey" into a photoshoot. She keeps asking me who am I sending these pictures to some girl.
I remember being particularly impressed with your jacket. The design looked a bit cleaner than the one Alan made for me (mine felt more like a modified m-500) where yours looked to be an original. If I recall yours was blanket lined? Mine was lined in flannel...very nice jacket but never quite hit the mark that your jacket mentally set for me. I had Alan add a fur collar after the initial build. Here's a pic from a few years ago. You can see mine had the banded waist and zippered handwarmers.

I semi-miss my SS... I still remember it, some years ago, all I had was a size too small Schott 125 that smelled of women's perfume and SS900. I'd dream of a better jacket, an Aero, Vanson, whatever, not realizing that at that point, I had everything.

I like 3sixteen stuff. The back yoke on that jacket is killer.

Thanks Ton. Their sizing is a bit crazy. This is a 3XL! Seems to be good quality and comfortable.

I don't care for the pattern, collar or pocket flaps and what a strange Aero tag.
