Most of the key staff left Aero to move to Will@Alexander…..

[winterland]

Oh yes. I have read most likely a novel on the subject. 
Let us know what you end up doing with your jacket.

Can I see a pic of the back, G?..

[Giles]

It's horse and no, it's packed….

First sample IH/Alexander Leathers FQHH Cafe Racer with collar.  Black Ventile over Moleskin lining…..Oh My......

I noticed that's a 42. You have my address on file, right?

[superfuzz]

This is all you are going to get for now…....

Just spoken to Will.  He is getting me some Horween coloured horse (think very pale tan) and going to make me a summer jacket….....

Anyone else want to play?

[trail and arrow]

that's a great jacket an absolute worth considering.
perhaps, for my build, it has to be a  a bit longer and a tiny bit less V- shape like.
mmmh?

[Giles]

OK.  It'll be GBP700 (±USD1200) in Horse, but we can lengthen and anti-V…..

[seanocono]

When in the summer are you thinking, G?

[Giles]

Are you implying no summer in Gosport? 

But, the leather will leave Horween in 2 weeks.  Should be here 2-3 weeks after that and then 2 weeks for the build…..

[seanocono]

Hahaha. No need to imply what's already common knowledge.

Hmmm, no, the reason I asked is I have an investment that is leaving me strapped the next four months (which equals only one moderate IH purchase a month, in my world).

Beautiful jacket, and I bet the leather is second to none. I'm not sure how I could swing this before June/July, though… I will brainstorm.
