Alexander Leathers

[Friday]

That will be a one badass HH Simmons. For sure!!

[Giles]

I'm having the hide skived to 1.5mm to make it more summery…..

Friday….lovely jacket. How much does it weigh?

@Giles:

Lovely,  Can't wait to get one of those built in the natural HH…

was that the one you were offering to jump on the wagon a few weeks back?
would love to have something similar as friday's jacket, just not as bulky…still looking for THE perfect leather jacket for me!

3 - 3.5 oz according to AL..

And Rafa, its not bulky at all buddy, its the leather, hard and sturdy , just need a breaking-in process thats all. G-San's plan to skived them is what you're looking for. I would say go for it!

[Giles]

It is what I was talking about a few weeks ago yes.  I am getting one made and then will take orders…..

well that's what i've ment…not looking for a hard and sturdy leather. want something less "brutal" that let's me move around as if i wouldn't wear a thing...but the "G-method" sounds good to me. Going to wait and see how things are going to turn out once G receives his sample (thanks for answering G.!).

Love the Simmons Bilt Friday! I keep looking at those on the AL site, but couldn't decide if that style would work for me, but your fit pic has convinced me it would - just need to decide whether to spec one from AL or go for G's option…

[trail and arrow]

G's Simmons-Bilt will be totally rad,
but hard to decide between HH and Natural Essex.

[Giles]

I can do either, he is getting both hides in for me.  I'm going to do a Type III in the Essex too….

[madmonday]

Type III with dark snaps instead of buttons would be sweet.

[FurattoHeddo]

Would love snaps as well, pretty much like these RMC type IIIs:

incl. side pockets o/course

Great looking jacket Friday!

The Himel Heron is very similar, but not as bulky.

[mclaincausey]

Killer Friday. Just killer!

I will be doing some very limited (<10/colour) run of Buco Styleking type jackets (Google it) in specially sourced French 1 - 1.2mm goatskin.  I'm likely to do the first run in a black:

I have chosen the Styleking as it is a supremely elegant and simple but tough jacket that is as easy to wear off a bike as it is on.

Let me know if you are interested.  I don't have much more data at the moment, still have stuff to sort out….
