Wow never would have thought of it like that. Definitely going to have to ponder on this one now. I'll play it by feel this first full week of wear and see how it goes. Also a great excuse to enjoy a lot of cigars.
Will upload some pics of usage and wear at the end with my decision.
Thanks...
They have all types. Just give Alan a call. I've seen them use various HH in various weights, bison, cow, steer, I have 2 other jacket from them in different weights of goat which are great.
Awesome. Easily one of the best jacket designs ever and has been done by so many different makers I'd love to see all the small variations that are no doubt going to pop up on this thread.
Looking forward to difference on the collar tips with this make in particular. Just something I've always...
Thanks man, really appreciate that. I loved the whole brainstorm of the process.
If they were to make a stock jacket even inspired by this I'd be honored. The patent could be all theirs. I just did it for the love of leather... Although I hope they'd name it after me because that'd be awesome.
Originally designed them for cigars. So zip is for the cigar in tube. Then one snap for torch lighter, the other for matches in tin spark box.
Not sure if I love the look though so I'm actually thinking about sending the jacket back to Alan and having the panel replaced with just a regular arm...
Almost forgot the belt. Just some great small detail stitching that really ties it to the rest of the jacket. Plus, Alan got some Horween belt leather which is much stiffer and thicker because I mentioned once how I hate when belts on jackets get super floppy. Really going the extra mile.

FOR THOSE WHO LIKE A STORY:
It's been a journey. Not just in the process of designing/making the jacket, but also all the things that have...
