Thanks simonc.

These are two of the pictures I sent Mark to explain what I wanted. He hadn't seen an original jacket, just made it using the images. Pretty impressive!




Both are scans from the excellent Rin Tanaka books.

Congratulations bretron that's a keeper!

Here's my Mark Fisher made aviator half belt using the same pattern.

It's Italian Horse Hide, worn lots on and off my bike so it's seen some bad weather. Wonderful jacket!





Deluxe, thx! I gotta admit it was pictures of your jacket that John posted on VEB that pushed me towards buying one. Good lookin, man! (Btw- yours is looking great:))

Interesting DS. What I see is the possibilities for a good block built angle zipper jacket, one thing I have noted is the beauty of the larger lapel with a fitted body. I'm thinking russet. Hmm good stuff guys.

Mark made this too. It's Goatskin and a mid russet colour with hand dyed seal brown two tone.

Again the front D-pocket and two tone colour details were taken from pictures of original jackets.

That is a stunner!

If I was in the market for a new leather jacket, Mark would be the first person I'd be talking to.

Anyone have any other details? The blog is very sparse. General cost/lead time etc? I have a German biker jacket design I desperately want replicated, but am pretty scared of the cost, but from the pics posted here, this fellow looks to be the one to talk to.
 
I'll get some pictures of me wearing both this weekend promise.

Novos I'd recommend contacting Mark directly with your ideas.

Yep. Send Mark an email. He can fill you in on cost and timing. He raised his prices recently....not sure if he has different prices for different designs/leathers.
Re; timing.......for mine, generally ran around 6-12 weeks. He's a one man operation. May still be part time. Really depends on how busy he is.
