    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Last jacket to be made for a few weeks due to “real life” commitments, but @ton312 and his green machine inspired me to do another one in Venetian cowhide. Not my usual color scheme, but I think these two shades work very nicely together! And it’s pushing 80 degrees today.. bye bye jacket weather

    Opinions on this “fast teacore” hide

    I guess I should revisit the movies (been years and years) before I reference them!

    Opinions on this “fast teacore” hide

    Thanks for all the feedback! I’m really on the fence about it. I may just get a bit of it to tuck away, but I don’t think I’ll be sinking a bunch of money into a big pile of it.

    Unison feed industrial machines. I have a Cobra flat bed and a Consew cylinder arm. Vintage Singer for the linings..

    Opinions on this “fast teacore” hide

    It’s pigment, and doesn’t seem to be rubbing off on anything, just disappearing..

    Opinions on this “fast teacore” hide

    Thanks Photo. Tex 100. Gutermann Mara 30 poly wrapped poly core. Plays really nicely and has a nice feel. I also use cotton wrapped poly core Tex 90 in some situations.

    Opinions on this “fast teacore” hide

    Thanks for the feedback. I’m just a DIY guy to the core. I bought a sewing machine to make motorcycle seat covers, but it spiraled into jackets instead..

    Thank you! I made this one (Cherubim), took a couple tries to nail the fit down for riding.

    Opinions on this “fast teacore” hide

    I’ve been trying out a few different black teacore hides to find one I really like. My local leather distributor has several hundred feet of this hide available, so I bought enough to give it a test drive. Once it’s gone, it will be gone. I’m kinda shocked by how fast this is losing its...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Probably the last week of decent jacket weather here…. My most recent jacket, and probably my end game cross zip. Got all the specs where I wanted them for a riding jacket. I made two of these nearly identical with different teacore steer hides to test out. The other one is going Mad Max...

    The Flat Head 40 D-Pocket

    I’m about 5’ 10.5” and 165lbs. Overall, it fits really well, but it’s a bit longer in the body than I prefer on a cross zip, and the sleeves are a touch shorter than I prefer. I’m being pretty nit picky there, but I have another D Pocket that fits perfectly.

    Lewis Leathers detective work needed

    ^^^ yeah, the logo patch does look a bit odd…. Size, logo itself, lack of metallic in the gold printing, and stitch pattern all look different from what I’ve seen, but again, I’m definitely NOT a Lewis expert! ^ patch on my previously owned Dominator

    Lewis Leathers detective work needed

    I had thought Lewis used Lightning and Clix zips instead of YKK, but I could be way off. I’ve only owned one Lewis and it was ordered new in 2021.

    The Flat Head 40 D-Pocket

    Very nice Flat Head cross zip in size 40. I picked this up from another member a few months ago. Absolutely beautiful jacket, but I have another similar jacket with an all around better fit for me. Nicely broken in, smells wonderful! Color is like black coffee.. asking $1000 PP F&F shipped...

    Super thick CXL cafe racer - who does the best pattern?

    I made myself a cafe racer with 4+ oz CXL and yes, the stand collar is definitely an issue with the heavier/stiffer hides. It’s doable, but my 4+oz cross zip is waay more comfortable. 6oz CXL…. Wow, my machines would say NO WAY. I’ve often wondered what JL and Stuart are using to put those...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Thanks man! It’s a 3oz teacore Steerhide that I sourced locally and am trying out. It’s very nice, but is going teacore very quickly.. jacket has only been worn twice and it looks 10 years old in some areas. I know that’s not for everyone, but I think it’s fine for my personal jacket. I’m...
