So, the jacket is done and coming this week. Here's a couple teaser pics of the finished piece. I am SO excited to get this! A good week here for leather!

Dark Seal Japanese Horsehide. "LHJ105" is the specific type.Nickel hardware, #5 Waldes zip. Tan stitching, wool plaid lining.

Note the cuffs are unlined. I asked John, and he kindly accommodated my wish. I wear large watches and didn't want the lining catching on the watch. This is the end result!

I think the combo of the hide, lining, stitching, etc. is amazing. It's close enough to black to make me happy, yet goes with most of my clothing.

I assume it is black although the last pic looks like dark seal to me. Love the contrast stitching and the liner choice. That is the same liner I hope to use. Very classic looking. I'm getting antsy waiting for mine!

Beautiful jacket. Hope to see pics when you have got and wear it ...

My G.W. A-2 will arrive in August. Order was done a year ago - yes, 18 months waiting time to get a Good Wear ...

Kind regards,

Johannes

I am unable to work right now. I am SO excited lolI'm sure yours is going to be every bit as nice. Have you ever seen a bad, so-so, or even just good Good Wear? Not me ;)

Cheers to that. Man, I love that color combo!

That's great Butte. I'm pleased to see your patience about to be rewarded and no doubt the wait will have been worth it

Beautiful jacket Butte, congrats! Love the Ventura, and I love that hide. Really nice. Good idea on the unlined cuffs.
