    Johnson Leather Jacket

    Yup, JL have been absolutely on the dot for me and what I wanted them to make for me. And they're the only ones, that I know of, to provide mock jacket for fitting. Over all great service and construction for a price that is very reasonable compared, say, to Himmel or Lost Worlds or any Japanese...

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    As a person who can almost never find a jacket off the rack that would fit even approximately well, I have to order made to measure. Most of the times is a variation of existing pattern/design, with primary concern, functionality as I ride motorcycles and actually want to be able to move my arms...

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    I forgot to mention that the two HH jackets were variations of patterns they had, plus the sizes are above the average jacket size. So all factors considered I found their pricing reasonable. I have not had any aero products, but from what I've seen their prices are quite comparable.

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    Their pricing is also tied to the material used. I've had two CXL HH and a bison hide and they were in the 1300+ region. Had I chosen, say, goat or steer, it would've been a couple of hundred or three cheaper

    Straight zip would be my preference and button cuffs, sorta replica of the 1940's version

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    Here are a couple of pictures of my latest JL CXL HH jacket. Overall it is gorgeous jacket and the leather is...well CXL, still stiff but it's getting better. But I have the nagging suspicion that the hide on the left sleeve is a bit thinner than the one on the right. The rolls look different...

    Good looking piece of hide. What is it?

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    It's based on the classic Cossack with my own modifications, shirt type collar, hand warmer pockets and chest pocket. No extra charge for buttons. A wool lining would have been extra charge.

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    Received the Cossack variant I ordered from JL in CXL HH. It is quite stiff will require some break in time. Fit pictures to follow.

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    Concur. This jacket will be my third from them and couldn't be happier with the previous two. But I would have to caution people about the mock jacket as it is just a canvas fit jacket and the finished product will definitely fit a bit differently. So when ordering and adjusting your...

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    I am promised my new JL jacket by February 25. I ordered it Dec 6, but with holiday break and vacation they pushed the delivery date by a month. I had two fittings and hopefully the result will be as good as the previous ones.

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    I was told no. Tried to get on the @Canuck Panda Shinki train, but I was a day late and the whole batch had been promised for. I ended up ordering a Cossack variant design with good 'ol black CXL. It supposed to be in my hands around the 20th of January

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Well, be that as it may, my experience with 5* is through a single jacket I got from them and although I provided all measurements, it came back much wider, with a neck that is 5 inches wider than what I indicated, sleeves straight as planks, and inconsistent thickness of the hide. I went with...
