Hi, If I put it up on ebay, I'm going to ask $350, the extra $50 is to pay for ebay fees. I can do that as a buy-it-now and give you an email minutes before. Or if you want to buy it here, directly from me, I won't put it up on it ebay, and I'll do $300 on it. Your choice. (And shipping will an extra $15.00 either way.)
Cheers, Michael

I didn't realize there was a way to buy it on this website... How would that work? (Sorry I'm new)

Well the simplest way is just to paypal me the funds. And give me your address. I'll put it in tomorrow's post, USPS priority mail. I've done this before and it's the easiest. My email, and paypal handle is: technovox@yahoo.com. Or option 2- you can send me your paypal handle and I'll invoice you. Or option 3- I can just put it up on ebay. Cheers, M.

thanks.

BTW My Kensington was an off-the-rack purchase, bought on ebay. Not a custom order. Still love it! That Shinki that Himel uses is the most beautiful horsehide I've ever seen!

I found a place down in L.A. that charged me $85- which was a bargain since there was no lining in the jacket, and they had to make a pattern from scratch. All other estimates were about $250 +.
I found that it's a big savings in price if there's a lining already in the jacket.
Cheers!

Hi SJC, The jacket I'm wearing in my profile is a custom Buco J-100 repro in Shinki horsehide by Diamond Dave. Highly recommended- the best fitting jacket I've ever owned. And the Shinki horsehide is amazing.
Cheers

I've owned several Schott jackets, and they've never fit me very well (except the rare "Schott/Restoration hardware" collaboration.) Be careful with Schott- some years the leather was rather poor quality, some years good. Hit or miss.

If you're looking for a heavier hide- then I would recommend either Vanson in a cowhide or Aero, either horsehide or cowhide.
Good luck!
Cheers
