Members BenOrsonLeather Posted July 6 Members Report Posted July 6 While the bodice of this Letterman Jacket was made from wool and lined with quilted satin, this piece was a transformation of sorts into the leather realm for me. In addition to the hair-on leather stacked letter B, I made the sleeves with some of the softest deerskin I have ever come across. I am also ever-searching for a supplier that can match this quality hide as it is my favorite skin due to its resiliency in relation to its softness. In fact, it was when I was out shopping and first came across this deerskin that I was the inspiration for this jacket. I wanted something that could represent the brand and this is what I came up with. Some other details are the hand cut leather back lettering, the Ursa Major (Great Bear) embroidery, and leather BCN lettering on the front. If you look closely, there is some errors in the stitching. I was till getting used to stitching several layer of leather together. Comments and/or questions are welcome. Quote
Digit Posted July 9 Report Posted July 9 That's a wonderful jacket. I hope I'll be able to make something like that some day. Does it only have snaps for closing or is there a zipper underneath as well? Quote
