@tatmantall Will has not managed to find the time to make up the pattern yet….

[tatmantall]

Ok. Thanks G

[tatmantall]

Cant manage to get my mind off this piece. Itching for something like this

[tatmantall]

Any word on when this might come to fruition yet?

[Giles]

Will is completely bogged down with making a shit load of stuff for NC, I have to wait until he surfaces…....

[tatmantall]

Right on daddio

[Megatron1505]

I frikkin LOVE this thing…

[rocket]

that looks really good on you (no surprised undertone at all)

[Megatron1505]

Thanks Jens

Agreed, very happy for you. Alexander is to me unparalleled when it comes to value in premium leather. They're just so damn nice and the price is eminently reasonable IMO.

[Megatron1505]

Thanks Mac, I'm absolutely besotted with it.

Crisps on fire Mega , you just made that alleyway tougher ….no young punks cutting

does anyone have tips and advises on how to break in a new FQHH jacket. Just bought a custom roadster and it feels so stiff I think it will take ages to soften up.

Also has anybody tried to waterproof one of these things? Winters in France are rainy as hell and I wouldn't want to ruin the leather

[Giles]

Wear it.
No need to waterproof, the tanning process waterproofs the hide….

^The other answer is send it to me and for a very generous fee, I'll break it in for you. Just one of those value added services we like to offer ::)

[wariosss]

@Snowy hehe sorry man, no can do

I tried on the Private White x Alexander Leathers Cafe Racer today.

The jacket has these fantastic copper Riri zippers, which are a Private White VC trademark, a mustard coloured cotton drill lining, and a single pistol pocket. It's made of a soft steerhide, rather than horse.

[Anesthetist]

Looks perfect on you sir!

[Graeme]

Thanks.

I tend to be a 44 or 46, depending on the style these days. The one in the photo is a 44, and the shop assistant reckoned that the 46 (no pictures) was a better fit. I'm not entirely convinced…

I'm still figuring out a Good Wear jacket, and will probably sort that before deciding on anything else.
