Johnson Leather Jacket

Update on the Masaye Leather (olive tanned HH from Germany)
The sheen is starting to wear off on some areas and it's not as water repellent anymore. The creasing and folds are getting more pronounced and it's molding more to my physique after getting wet

 

Thanks JustiN! The water did wonders on it. Also just FYI all JL orders will be delayed so unfortunately we won't get our jackets soon

Thank you! I try to wear it as much as I can so it's developing quite quickly. Love your new acquisition btw

That was my first thought as well, it might be the same or tanned/processed similarly.

 

Safety protocol looks like

 

Thank you. Hope you get your perfecto JL soon and tame that bad boy as well.

Yes it's coming along nicely. Thanks

Yep, they should reopen in 2 weeks so it's not too long now.

 

Yes, it's not too long of a wait considering the current times.

No problem and thank you as well. Is Blattwerk the name of the tannery? I really do like it especially the grainy parts of the hide. It's really good to wear, it's light and comfortable.

 

Wherever part of Germany this leather came from its really well made. I hope to see a brown version of this full aniline leather. The added topcoat is mostly gone on the right sleeve and it makes the grain pop out.

Got it, that looks a sustainable and environmentally aware process they are using. Kudos to them, must smell nice at that tannery. That's interesting to know about leather seats, I wonder if there are car guys who prefer HH leather seats than cowhide lol

Thank you sir! It's developing quite nicely indeed, this is my template for all future jackets. If I ever get stranded out at sea, I won't go hungry for a few days!

 

I should have used this hide for my German flyer Jacket for my next JL project too bad but now I'll have to go for Horween Vermont Dark Seal instead

 

I just noticed that now lol is that to follow the contour of the hip for a more natural curve and front drop?
