          …that I have sourced from a tiny little tannery in France.

          I read that as "little tranny"… I need some tea...

                    As per @tatmantall 's suggestion.  I am researching unlined J100.  Will has his instructions….

                            The reason I had mentioned deerskin, not that I really have any qualifications but just elaborating on my statement, was I have always been fascinated with the feel of the pouch my iron heart bracelet came in. I have zero idea how well it would work out for something like this. Especially considering it's unlined I don't know what difference that will make comfort wise

                                  The current collab for autumn/winter and the racing shirt for spring/summer. I see what you're up to, @tatmantall …

                                      Gonna add my .02, not that it matters but my experience may be of help. Bullriding gloves are typically deerskin or calfskin. Most guys will spend the few extra bucks to get a deerskin because they handle the abrasive nature of the rope and platted handle as you burn your rosin into them. You get almost double the use and the deer forms better to the hand. Natural deer also ages beautifully.

                                        Himel offer their Kensington Cafe Racer in an unlined style in Shinki horse.

                                        There was also a Restoration Hardware x Schott jacket in a similar style a couple of years back. There's some details and additional photos over at The Fedora Lounge, and there's a large on eBay right now with more pictures.

                                        I like this style of jacket a lot, particularly as I always wreck the lining in leathers.

                                        If you're looking for other suggestions, there's also a Harley racing shirt on the Himel Brothers Site. The pictures of the back have disappeared unfortunately.

                                          I think that might have been my himel Kensington you saw on eBay if it has been a few weeks. I did not see one when I searched just now,but honestly… When comparing the two jackets, now that I have owned both I prefer the Alexander. I honestly do not feel like my himel would have lasted a lifetime. In under year it showed an incredible amount of aging and had to be sent back for repairs after approximately 6 months of wear. All of that aside, It is a great looking jacket and I think for themorecasual wearer it would serve great but my jackets take substantial abuse. Therefore,I would love to see what G and will can put together. Not only for that reason though, also because My favorite brand to deal with is IH; furthermore, and as my original suggestion states they are a motorcycle based clothing line and the J100 silhouette is an iconic jacket in that particular realm.

                                            The one thing I don't like about Himel's cafe racers and the Schott pictured is that the zippered sleeves aren't gusseted. It's a stupid hang-up but it bugs me.

                                            I wonder if Dave uses all cotton stitching, and if Will uses poly-cotton. It seems that could make a really big difference, hide quality being at or near equality.

                                            Think it, be it.
