    PSA: Bad Actors in Classifieds

    Best response I read so far, and love the attitude! I do feel and understand the gripe, but indeed, your last statement just concluded it all!

    Wildfang Design Visit

    What animal does this hide come from? It’s wildly exceed my imagination…in a good way What does it feel like in your hand? From the side view, it looks almost like hollowed sponge. Do you plan to order a jacket with it? Or is this just a sample they send you to check out. Either way, they do...

    While it may feel soft hand and can easily be crumbled in your hand, it’s a bit deceiving with a small piece though. I felt the same way when I had a small sample of the Shinki hh in my hand. My original thought was that “wow, really soft, nothing like I have imagined”. But when I received the...

    Got my first and probably only leather jacket: Real Mccoy's Buco J-100

    Haha, that sounds like me. When I first started on this journey last years, I said TWO. And now I’m at FOUR and still eyeing on more

    Group buy sounds like a good idea at first, but only makes sense for something that has quick turnaround time. Leather boots/leather jackets take forever that the chance the buyers change their preferences/mind is fairly high.

    Haha, I get it. The shrunken horsebutt is just beautiful. Shrunken bison, on the other hand, is a lot more rugged. It looks indestructible What color is it though? One thing I notice is that 95% of leather jacket are some shades of black and brown. I would love to see a more variety of colors

    Thanks for the tips. I’m still toying with the idea and juggling between the jacket design and the quills on the ostrich hides. It will be a while before I’m taking on the actual project

    You already had that shrunken horse grizzly jacket or is it in the work now? Damon showed me a picture of an shrunken horse jacket, but it was only the sleeve

    The trucker is a great choice for such small hide as shark or kangaroo leather. I have been thinking about an ostrich leather jacket that combines the full hide and leg panels. Can’t wait to see your next project though. I really love the styles and color choices of your leather jackets. You...

    Did you make a specific thread for this jacket? I couldn’t find it to find more details on it. I have a shark skin wallet, so I love its grain. And knowing that it’s quite stiff, but to hear you and @Monitor describe as tin is very interesting. Do you struggle to bend the arm? What about...

    How does the shark skin wear like? I saw the jacket on their IG but didn’t know that YOU have it. It looks darn good on you and that arm raise is as good as any good patterned leather jacket.

    I don’t necessarily chase after the heavyweight but I love the pronounced grain of the shrunken bison leather, which just happens to be very thick, 6-8oz. If it’s only just for the pronounced grain, my option can be to skive the entire panel down to 3.5-4.5oz, and make it somewhat wearable. I...

    JL has the skill and experience of doing these beastly jackets. I’m curious to hear a review from the owner of this jacket though. He mentioned about the love for heavy weight leather and yet not a review on the jacket itself.

    I’m looking forward to your updates. I’ve been eyeing on the shrunken bison leather, and it’s a thick hide, so I have only been doing research. One thing to keep in mind about thick leather is that it’s not very pliable, so even when the edges are skived down, the panel itself is still tough to...

    Did you read through a thread of someone wanted a 5-6oz jacket with JL which didn’t happen? It hope your project isn’t a cliffhanger like that thread. Looking forward to the project?

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    Thanks. And your jacket is also very awesome. I really like the design. And I love the fact that your choice of repair made it as closed to the original than it was before. And it’s a very insightful review on the repair. It shows both sides of the coin on the repair job from JL, showcasing...

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    Thanks. And I can’t thanks you enough for all of your help and idea and insight up to this point. At the time of ordering, it would have been my first real leather jacket, so I decided to go with the classic design look on the classic black color on the classic Shinki horsehide. It turns out to...
