Finally a bit warmer outside so today I rock my vintage goatskin jacket I've modified myself. Still kinda amazed how well it came out as I'm more of a butcher than surgeon when it comes to sewing and such.
Cheers!

After much contemplation I bought this Vanson Enfield in British Racing Green. It was just different enough from my brown and black collection to pull the trigger. No garment numbers in the pocket and has Talon zippers throughout so I do not know the age. Leather is thick but soft almost like naked cowhide. I will be spamming the site with more pics.

Great taste in jackets, and in vinyl. Back In Black is one of the best R&R albums ever.
Wearing my nemesis today… finally finished this cafe/J-100 mash up in 3.5-4oz CXL steer hide. I’ve always been interested in this hide, I’ve only had experience handling CXLFQHH. Color is burgundy and is really beautiful. Im very glad that I built a little extra room into this one as it is an absolute unwieldy beast of a jacket. This one took me twice as long to complete because getting these seams to lay flat was a workout. I have a new found respect for those who regularly use this weight of hide to make jackets. I feel like a spent a week getting my *** kicked by ninjas. Not cartoon ninjas, but the real ones. Do I want to make another CXL jacket? No thank you. My sewing machine is still weeping and giving me the side eye. Turned out alright though!
Absolutely great
Sometimes it seems like everyone is shooting .22's, and here comes a Cal like a .45....
Excellent! This gem is even better than the one you made/posted about a while back. Beautiful color and the super clean design/lines make this a standout.
Thanks! It’s the same pattern as the last cafe racer that I made, but I worked an extra inch into the chest and a half inch across the shoulders to accommodate the thick hide. I made up a J100 collar and put the zips on top of the sleeves, being the only real differences. I hope this will eventually break in!
