I bought another Grais Cabrera “Angel skin” which is a hair sheep aniline hide. Cut 2” off the length. My wife and I bought a sewing machine and these have been my first two attempts and adjusting the hem. Good learner grade leather. It’s thin, light and aniline so stronger than waxy lamb.
I’m happy with how these turned out!

Hey everyone, long time since I’ve been around here but since I recently popped in to make a few sales figured I would check in here.

Here’s an Alpha B-15. I so wish Alpha still made high quality products. These days they are a fashion brand with an occasional high quality limited release, archive sale, or collab but when I saw this a few years ago as a limited seasonal release I had to have it. Photos don’t do it justice…depending on lighting and angle is green, emerald, blue, aqua, forest. It’s so stunning. The nylon is thick and heavy duty, the stitching is near flawless, its semi warm, great fall jacket, the cuffs are a blend but retain their shape amazingly well. This has been worn many times over the years and shape is almost like new so while a blend they do the job….but in typical alpha fashion they skimped out on the zippers and collar. The collar is 100% synthetic, and the zippers are just ok. But just based on how pretty it is I am so happy I bought it for the seasonal release. You don’t see them like this. So this is snowy Buffalo NYs jacket of choice today.

Definitely a game changer. Some of those 70’s jackets had great details but were just too long.
