      @Graeme:

      I don't know if it would be possible, but an unlined Cafe Racer in the incredibly dear deer would be lovely…

      @tatmantall - from two years ago.

      Yeah, I'm in agreement about "investment" pieces. 🙂

        Ha! Look like this was not a first time suggestion. You, sir, have exquisite tastes!

          Whoever came up with the idea of a J100 ( @tatmantall ? @Graeme ? )  I am extremely grateful….

          I am falling more and more in love.

          It will be unlined
          It will have cuff gussets
          ........

          So these are the hide options I'm discussing with Will:

          1)  Medium weight veg tanned horse
          2)  FQHH (chrome tanned) but skived to about 0.9mm
          3)  I try and source some decent smooth our deer

          I love this sort of shit.....

                        G, have I made this up or are you looking at getting a not too heavy Simmons Bilt made as well?

                                      He is sending me the final (I hope) sample of the Guile King today.  This one is made out of the French goat I have sourced.

                                      G - "So what does it look like?"
                                      W - "It's feckin amazing, that leather is feckin incredible"

                                      Works for me......
