Regius Made Leather Jacket

Thanks bud, I finally realized that vintage style jackets and low rise slim fit jeans aren't the best match lol.

I found these button boots on my recent trip to Japan. They're from a maker called Chausser. Their shoes and boots are a bit more dressy than boots from makers like Brass Tokyo, The Boots Shop (Rolling Dub Trio) Skoob or what have you.

The jacket weights 2,8 kg which is about 6.2 lbs according to Google. The temper is comparable to thick deerskin but slightly denser. Horween CXL is very stiff and waxy, this is not that.

Out of the box the HO doesn't have much color depth. I think the color depth will get better with wear as the naked hide will absorb oils and fats but I'm impatient so I gave it a coat of clear Urad to instantly enhance the color depth.

Very impressive. 6+ pounds for that style and size makes it a very substantial jacket in my book. Thank you for the information.

Mine is definitely black.

Which style to do have in mind for the natural HO?
A smash up between these two no names:

Something like this below but natural hide:

Just something simple in design. Letting the hide and the comfort pattern do most of the lifting on this one. Regvis Speedway...

I.7mm wow, that has to be one of your thicker hides.
I love those pleats or ribs on the back panel, correct my terminology if they have a specific term.
Reg will be the first maker that I’m going to let him make all decisions, just sit back and let him decide linings, thread, fit, etc. once you talk with him, the man knows his stuff.

"Let the artist work", that's what I learned with Regius. There's small things he suggested on my last jacket that I decided against and later regretted. Not deal breakers in any way, just better suggestions. He knows what he's doing for sure. This next jacket that he's doing for me is all him for the most part. Always exciting to see what he comes up with:)
