    Backpacks - need some ideas...

    If you want something that looks a bit like a briefcase, the Frank Clegg English Backpack would work. There are some waxed canvas backpacks from Trakke, Filson, and Fjallraven that might work. Trakke is working on a collaboration with Nigel Cabourn that's due in a few months and looks lovely...

    Badalassi Carlo Leather - Appreciation Thread

    The Carlo Pueblo in R Antico looks like a faded pink when new, but the buffed or polished patch is a lovely brick red. I think that it'd be an interesting option for a jacket, but whether I could convince Greg to use it for my upcoming one...

    I'm not sure if Greg is offering alternative colours via the sample pack. From my discussion with Sam, I got the impression that he's ordering a few hides to try. Then again, if you asked for Prugna (which looks completely awesome), I'm sure that they could tag it to the order.

    Field Leathers

    Incidentally, A. & A. Crack, the supplier whose website I linked to for the Badalassi leathers have some fantastic hides. My favourite is probably the vegetable tanned Horween Bison, which looks as though it's a tea-core, since the back side is brown. They also have wild Elk and Kudu from...

    Field Leathers

    I believe that he's getting in several shades of brown, along with bone, which Sam confirmed is a natural / undyed hide. I didn't ask about other shades of brown. However, in an Instagram story, Greg mentioned that Badalassi offer sample packs, which contain enough leather to make up one or two...

    Thoughts on the Black Bear Brand Western Horween Jacket?

    Indigofera often produce iterations of the Fargo in leather. This is the latest in a rough-out cowhide, via Pancho and Lefty. Other colours are available. I'm not sure when a shirt becomes a jacket, but I think that this Fargo is on the dividing line.

    Field Leathers

    Field Leathers have posted a cloth prototype of a Peter's Tailor Made jacket to their Instagram Stories. There are photos of an original on the Freewheelers website. I prefer the prototype because it's cleaner, though I'm sure that Greg could build a stripped down version.

    The Background . . .

    The two windows with the wrought iron railings open onto what was my living room. Glad to see that Sounds is still there.

    The Background . . .

    The Oostpoort in Delft. I lived on Brabantse Turfmarkt in an apartment above the Kruidvat between 2005 and 2008. It's a lovely city.

    East West cross zip. No idea of the price, but it's listed on Vintage Great Power's Instagram. They have also just sold this very cool Le Chevron wool cross zip.

    Field Leathers

    If I could make two more suggestions... First, ask Sam and Greg what they advise. They're both experienced at designing and making jackets. (Sam created the Ladies Cossack for Aero.) And it generally pays to listen to what someone like that says. Second, if you want to go longer in the body...

    Field Leathers

    @jimmer_5 I've seen a few longer cross-zip jackets or coats with a belt at the waist, but they might not be your thing. Greg did a really cool collared café racer for a guy called Roman. It's up on his Instagram. You could copy the style and add a few inches to its length. Butterworth...

    Not a deal, but Bonham's is auctioning one of the original Fonz jackets. The estimate is $50K to $70K. No measurements are given. :D

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    @Mrfrown how does the jacket fit through the body? It looks slightly big in the shoulders, but I don't know if that's just your pose! I'd be tempted to leave the body as is, but I like longer café racers and I think it looks good as is, but shorten the sleeves. I would also see if you could...

    Who’s going to pick up this Himel Bros?

    The Himel has got zips that run up to the armpit, which should make it easier to pull on that @Carlos840's Vanson. My favourite is this one by an unknown maker I saw on eBay a while back. I keep on getting tempted to get a replica, but I'd have the bottom cut square and replace the laces with a...

    Tall jackets

    I'm a couple of inches shorter than @Rkm1972 and @MrProper, but my arms and legs are disproportionately long, so I have the same problem! Iron Heart IHJ-54 in XXXXL has a 25.7" pit-to-pit and 28.2" sleeves. It's currently out of stock, as is the collarless IHJ-35, and rather expensive...
