Which one of you is responsible for this insane 7.5 oz bull hide with detachable pile and mouton liner?

 

[Canuck Panda]

^^^I was just about to post this!

I think I know. If you google search you can find him on FDL here. He already has a dozen 5oz Bison JL jackets. It is natural to go up to 7oz.

The thing with thick hides you gotta keep the panels simple, like this one, which I believe is a M200-L variant.

Nuts.

It's like Horsepower wars. Every new one that comes out is slightly more powerful. Belt leather thickness is about 8/9 oz, so we have not seen it maxed out, yet.

Dude that wins the heavy weight bout. Looks like @Hh121 is going to have to go for a 9oz.

 

[Canuck Panda]

In theory one could do a 2mm horsehide outer shell and lined it with 1.2mm horsehide lining and end this war. Horse beats Steer but they don't come this thick, at least not large enough panels. Plus the outside shell + lining combo will make things more wearable. Just a theory...

How long until someone decides to send Shawn an 8oz strip to top this guy, and we end up with CHL 2?

And just like the horsepower wars, cars will become increasingly useless and not fun besides in extreme conditions.

I don't get the point of this, but to each their own.

This one doesn’t look stiff though, I imagine it must be some what so, just based on the thickness. I wouldn’t wear it but I can see the allure.

I think this 7.25oz jacket belongs to one of the member here. And he is coming out of retirement to reclaim his throne. When in reality he just wears two of his 5oz Bison jackets together and he was always the undefeated Champion.

Or maybe this is JL flexing their leather skills muscles on sewing thick leathers.

The reason behind the jacket doesn't matter anymore. I was entertained. For that, I am grateful for the existence of this beast of a jacket. I thought I seen it all when the Sharkskin truckers showed up on their insta, now this. I can't fathom what will come next, or is there a final chapter at all?

Someone should send CHL to Johnson to do a CHL lined with CHL jacket.

No end to it so far, there doesn't seem to be any limits. I am working on another unique idea, although it won't be the next project with JL, but the one after.

I'm supposed to move to the area so we should do a Johnson meetup.

Probably Alan's worst nightmare. All the craziest customers in one place.

 

[red devil]

I am hoping tobe there late Spring, so if you are around it would be fun to meet up!

 

[TheDonEffect]

That would be a ton of fun, talking about the meetup, not the 100oz CHL jacket.

Scarecrow Yah Ta Hey leathers

Scarecrow Company was a garment store in Fukazawa, Tokyo. The shop owner Mr. Narusawa was the first Japanese to introduce Langlitz Leathers to Japan in the 1980s. While searching for an even better maker than Langlitz, Narusawa came across Johnson Leather in San Francisco. He introduced Yah-Ta...

I warned him not to go skydiving with the jacket on.

Sounds like a plan as long as someone brings the cognac
