Alexander Leathers

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.

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

[Friday]

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…

@Giles:

we can lengthen and anti-V…..

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..?

[Giles]

No need for a decision for ages.  I've asked Will to get enough of each leather in from Horween to make 3 or 4 of each.

The tan horse will age absolutely amazingly.  In Will's words. "it'll feckin mark before you get the feckin thing on"

Oh, and I've checked, Will has the most amazing light coloured horn buttons that he says will "look feckin brilliant mon"

[seanocono]

^Nice!

[emceeQ]

Can't wait to see what Will pumps out.  The essex looks awesome and I love the leather, but damn that tan horsehide just sounds like it will be killer…

I have here an AMAZING cafe racer in black FQHH.  It was made with a collar and should not have been.  Will@Alexander would take it back off me, but it is so nice, I thought I'd offer it here first.

Fits me a treat

I'll move it for USD650 plus shipping
