Johnson leather Horween 6oz cxl overdye D-pocket and 4.5 -5oz CXL natural LeatherTogs project

jacketjunkie · Sep 3, 2020

The YKK on my Johnson Leather is holding up just fine after 6 years of frequent use, in fact far more use than most jackets posted here have seen before being sold on again... I would never spend excessive amounts of money on a zipper nor spend much thought on it failing; chances are your interest in the particular jacket "fails", long before the zipper does.

I absolutely love #3, the Prince Of Wales. I always just referred to this as a “houndstooth check”, The original seats in my friend Hugos 69 Camaro have this pattern and it is bad ass!!!
I also agree with some others about the zipper, stick with your big riri.

Have you considered camo liner, kinda like Himel has been doing?

I like it a lot, some don't. I think it is badass.

I vote dogstooth pattern, it's a classic but more interresting than herringbone or check.

Alan@JohnsonLeather · Sep 3, 2020

My vote is for number three as well. I have the same lining ( mine is 100% cotton flannel 20oz.) in one of my heavy horse hide jackets and it looks and wears well.

Thanks for your approval, Alan!

You got me at houndstooth, #3. I need more of that in my life.

Hh121 · Sep 3, 2020

22oz wool blend, should be warm enough?

Alan, I think we need a picture of you in the jacket!

I find that a bit much.
It has Dolce & GabBana vibe...

It does, yeah. Doesn't look very good at all.

That's the most American way of writing "Ferrero Rocher" ever, you win!
But yes, i guess that's a good comparison.

I literally lol'd. Heard it in my mind!

Will Zach · Sep 3, 2020

That is funny, Carlos. Now I can't stop thinking how to "americanize" other famous designers. I guess I cannot come up with anything funny, so John wins.
Eve Saint Lawrence won't cut it I suppose. I'll keep thinking.

I like the quality of the track... but the puller looks wrong

Kuro · Sep 4, 2020

In my experience, zipper pulls can be changed...
