a harder task than Indiana jones picking holygrail cups
you have to imagine a much bigger piece of that leather, or you can scan and photoshop it on jacket you wear, good luck

In my experience, all you can tell from these is color and texture. You will get very little idea about how a jacket would wear or drape though samples.

These 2 gets the nod today as we are down to 6 degrees c. The coat is halfway through a dye job to Black. The sheepskin being quite resistant to dye.

I hope that’s a good thing.

I'd say it's the ultimate compliment.

Took a while but I learned how to control them. Now I glide.

Took this one out today, 1968 Martin Lane G-1 I recently had a knit replacement job on. The mouton fur is really dry. Think some beard oil might plump it up a little? I figure, if it's good for living facial hair what harm can it do to dead hair...

Hey, looks just like mine! (I have a 1968 Martin Lane G-1, too. Post on the previous page in this thread.)

I'm trying to remember how I spruced up the mouton collar on mine. I think I mixed a little Woolite with cold water in a spray bottle, then worked in a light spritz of the mixture into the collar with my fingers. Then rinsed a little with plain water. For the final step, I used a small plastic comb to fluff up the mouton and let it air dry.

There are a few holes in the knits on mine and I was thinking of getting the knits replaced. Can you tell me where I can get authentic knits and who did the job for you? I want it done right. Thanks.
