Just out of curiosity, what do you put into the chest pocket?
My phone (not the latest and biggest of today phone) won’t fit. Wallet is too thick, so it goes into the interior pocket.
I can only think of business cards, or slim credit card case. But then, the zipper is kind of inconvenient to...
Once they started on the jacket making process, it will be very quick.
From the time Damon had me tried on the canvas jacket to when he finished my jacket was 4 days.
It was insane speed to my expectation. I left town 1 day too early so I had to wait two weeks to get the jacket in hand after...
Wow, it’s crazy to see the pores under microscope.
And the difference between veg tanned vs chrome tanned too.
Can you elaborate more on the chrome tanned leather being charred? Maybe the cause and effect of chromed tanning process.
Please give the explanation so that fifth grader can...
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...
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.
