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…..

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.

[Giles]

I'm just chatting with Will about doing it in natural Essex.  This will bring the price down substantially (I think)….

Wasn't sure how many would pick up the reference Since I live in it, I probably shouldn't poke fun

that natural essex is yummy..

[Giles]

OK.  Can't decide what to do.  Shank Tan Horse or Natural Essex.  So Will is going to make me one of each and I'll sell the one I don't want…....

[Finn666]

depending on the time you're going to sell and the measurements, i may be interested! jfi…

[Friday]

don't forget the 'gorilla hand' part Rafa..

[Finn666]

not getting it, sry!? ^^

[Giles]

I think Friday means "Gorilla Arms", he's wanted to buy stuff from me in the past and the arms are always too long….

[Finn666]

aaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…

great!
how long until you need a decision?
two weeks?
–---------&
any idea how the "Tan Horse" will age?
i mean, will it darken, etc. (which i would prefer), or would it stay pale because of its nature... horseyness..?
