Thanks @Mrfrown, you know how lovely the leather is and JL knows my dimensions by now so it's easier to dial in the ideal fit. I just read they'll make a version 2.0 of your jacket which is incredibly generous. Hope to see you wearing that soon.
Fuzzy cream collar is gorgeous lol, it's a big boy mouton collar too which makes it give that extra oomph! Well just in case you travel to somewhere cold I'm thinking you wouldn't want your nape cold, right?!? Thanks @handymike
Yes, sir this is really one of those as they say "endgame jackets". The standard collar is cool in itself but the addition of the mouton just makes it so much better! I just received the FL too and that's a glove fit as well lol it's out there
Thanks @TheDonEffect its heavier than the goatskin but the color is so much nicer. Dark coffee/espresso/dark brown whatever it is it's just one hell of a hide. Horween should market the crap out of this cause other people can already advertise CXL
Thanks @marker2037 its really a nice take on the French cyclist/ostmann jacket. The riris are so awesome too, the sound it makes when zipping/unzipping is satisfying! Hope you received your FL too, my jacket is also a glove fit!
In my case this is my 4th project with them so it got real expensive to get here lol
Thanks man! You're up next my friend!
Great jacket, great fit as usual. Congratulations
what's the weight of the jacket without mouton collar? Probably gonna buy this leather and send it to 5star, 1/3 cost of Johnson leather.
"French Cyclist Jacket" please...Ostman is a made up name by Eastman.
If my method of weighing the jacket using one of those baggage weighing scale is to be trusted then it's 3.8 pounds without the mouton collar. It does have a midweight wool tartan lining and satin sleeves for whatever that's worth in terms of weight.
Thanks man! I don't know but maybe one of Horween' s finest
It's cool of JL to agree to make this jacket for me and if they make it a standard pattern then that would be nice to see other people wearing too.
To an extent we are all that guy @JustinW lol that's why this is a great community, lots of great members with awesome jackets!
Maybe it's one of those times when a company wants to be PC they had to change the product's name and Yes I read on here that that's the actual term for this style of jackets"French Cyclist Jacket" please...Ostman is a made up name by Eastman.
Thanks man that would be hilarious lol but hope to see another button up build in the future
Like what @Mrfrown mentioned, not stiff at all. To me it reminds me of maybe a naked cowhide/heavy deerskin, not the spongy outside texture but the way it feels when you wear it and it feels like you are being cocooned nicely. I've only had it for a few days but i feel this will not crease/roll much/shorten much in the sleeves. I would say it's definitely softer/less stiff than Vicenza/Shinki/Badalassi/Masaye.
That's an awesome term! SF cyclist jacket!The SF Cyclist Jacket
