"marbled" grain?
I see posts here mentioning "marbled" grain, and jackets that exhibit "marbling" with time. Not being sure of what this means, I thought I'd ask. Of course a picture is worth a thousand words (sometimes more). Thanks!- ForestForTheTrees

New Johnson Leather Custom Half Belt Pictorial
My new JL custom half belt arrived safe & sound and it did not disappoint. I spent many, many months going back and forth with Alan to work out all of the details. Through it all he was always patient, helpful and a pleasure to work with. Johnson Leathers allows customers to provide their own...- ForestForTheTrees

New Johnson Leathers custom half belt headed my way this week
Alan called this weekend to let me know that they've finished up with my custom order half belt jacket (based off of JL's M-200L which is longer in length than their M-200). It is made of 3 oz. brown Chromexcel horsehide from Horween (which I ordered directly from the tannery). I believe this...- ForestForTheTrees

Hand-sewn shoes by Rancourt & Co.
Rancourt & Co. was mentioned today in the Outerwear section of TFL and I did some searching and was surprised to find that no mention of this company has previously been made on this site. This looks like the appropriate area, and I thought others might like to learn more about these shoes, so...- ForestForTheTrees

What is it about horsehide?
I've developed a strong preference for Horween's Chromexcel hide. I have numerous shoes/boots made with the stuff as well as one jacket. All of those examples are of steerhide as opposed to horsehide. My next jacket is going to be horsehide Chromexcel, but to be honest, I only went with...- ForestForTheTrees

Will Aero be posting the joint statement on their own website?
i was getting ready to post this in the "Horween USA and Aero Joint Statement" thread, but a number of people were already getting upset by the size of that thread. So, I'll bring this up as a new thread and maybe someone here can help me connect the dots. Much has been shared by Aero here...- ForestForTheTrees

For those who ride motorcycles (or are thinking about riding).
Seeing so many posts on this forum about motorcycle jackets got me to thinking about gear. I'm not posting this with regards to any particular thread or post, rather I'm simply sharing a thought. Whenever I actually stop to think about protective gear, beyond the subconscious motions of...- ForestForTheTrees

Johnson Leathers custom jacket, new photos
A few here had asked for additional photos of my jacket. I added these to the "Aero Alternatives" thread yesterday, but thought it might make more sense to post these up in a new thread to benefit anyone out there searching for information on Johnson Leathers. Here is my jacket after a season...- ForestForTheTrees
