I'll second the welcome. Also looking forward to the pictures as the D-1 is one of the jackets on my bucket list.

Spectacular job...I was looking forward to seeing the finished product, and was not disappointed!

I have a hoodie with a quilted lining from Abercrombie & Fitch that is pretty heavy and quite warm. As for long-term wear, I suspect it will not last as long as you would want it to. I also have a military-style fleece hoodie that, though relatively light weight, is pretty warm, and I suspect it...

That's quite a knock-off. I was initially struck by the colors...on my screen the distressed brown of the leather strongly clashed with what looks like a purple mouton collar. I know it's tough to portray colors accurately sometimes. Do others see what I'm seeing? It does seem though that...

That is a super-nice jacket, the fit is perfect, and the design tweaks you incorporated work quite well, I think. I also find the havana intriguing as a color, and am really curious how it will look as the leather ages. It's also good to know I'm not the only one who sits on his sofa at night...

Bummer. :(

As Cooperson noted, buying vintage leather jackets is a minefield, especially if you are particular in your taste, preoccupied with detail, and generally trying to be a savvy buyer. Who among us isn't? If we weren't, why would we be here? Given that is how it is, some of us have made connections...

Yes, Langlitz made it for me. It's actually a modified version of their Columbia jacket. They're a great company with a well-deserved reputation for quality workmanship.

Here's my Langlitz version of a CHP jacket in heavy brown cowhide. screen capture windows 7 imagen photo sharing websites

I had one of those back in the 1980s. It was navy and the sleeves were too short. As I look at this old pic, I have to say it did kinda look like a lab coat.

Just to be clear (and I know it can get confusing when several pics are posted), I think the guy standing next to Lennon in the first pic is Paul. In the second pic with Lennon that is of course Stu Sutcliffe.

That's a tough one to call. Sutcliffe and McCartney looked similar in some of those old photos. I'm leaning towards McCartney though, but curious what others think. Note that Lennon is wearing a leather jacket in this pic also. jpg images

I'm thinking this has to be the old jacket Aero's new Thunder Bay is based on: http://www.ebay.com/itm/331022023991?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

I also think it's a short Teamster. I own a Teamster, and the yoke in the front, the half belt in back and pleats, which I don't believe the Stuart normally had, makes me think it's a Teamster. I also think it looks great on you, and although I understand you'd like it to be longer, think...
