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

Thanks Jens 

[mclaincausey]

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.

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….

[Snowy]

^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.

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.

The jacket looks good on you Graeme

[Chris]

The copper zippers are excellent.  Never seen that before.

[Giles]

I give you The McLain…..

Yep those monster pockets are actually sheepskin lined on the face that the back of your hands will touch…..

[Anesthetist]

Damn!!!!

[Giles]

I will be able to get this made in burgundy or black steer & my super special brown or black goat

[Giles]

@mclaincausey chose this wool tartan lining…

Haraki and I like it so much, that is what the production version are getting too…...

Nice! Any other pics you can share, or fit pics? Is it based on an existing design, or is this an entirely new design?
