this leather jacket is so astonishing Concerning the weight I trust it's an indication of value

Im happy with how it all went, the jacket is too heavy for daily use. I think though if I can make a thick one then a thinner will be easier. Just on the lookout for come nice leather or nappa around 0.8mm.

 

Hope you like it

 

 

I'm late to the show but damn that's great work! And with a Speedy Stitcher!?

I thought I would share some pictures of my first leather jacket I made.

I have had a leather/nubuck jacket from GAP for 20 years, I really loved it and alway wondered if I could maybe make one.

You my fried are brave . . . a I am not so.  Like you . . . I've had a leather jacket . . . typically known as a "bomber jacket" for at least the last 30 years . . . and love the way leather keeps out the cold wind.

Added I to it a leather full length rain coat for doing funerals in the winter (I'm a pastor) . . . and a couple of just leather jacketes.

Saw what is known as a "cafe racer" leather jacket . . . decided I wanted one.  Unlike you . . . I passed the buck on making one.  Found one on line made of sheep skin . . . for less than I could have bought the leather . . .  to say nothing of the zippers, lining, etc.

Be that as it may . .  . you certainly have my congratulations on a job well done . . . 

Look into using lambskin or sheep skin for the next one if you want a lighter weight one.

May God bless,

Dwight
