Alexander Leathers

[Giles]

This one was built without a lining and we have a few issues with fit on the upper arms and body, so it is going back for a recut/rebuild, but you get the idea (& I love it)…..

Oh, and I LOVE the arm seams yoke seam that is as one....

Looks a bit short in the body for a J-100 but very nice and promising. What hide did you use, steer or horse? It doesn't have the typical stiff horween CXL look, which is a plus.

[Giles]

Vintage horse…..

[Graeme]

How's the zip attached on the inside? Is there a leather facing, as you'd find on a lined jacket?

[Giles]

[rocket]

love it so far, unlined is ace…

[rocket]

would prob add a glove leather trim round the edges of the pocket bags…

[Graeme]

Thanks Giles.

How about making the pocket bags in leather? Denham did an unlined jacket that did this.

When I was (OK, still am) thinking about a J100, I'd have lost the chest pockets (and I know it's a part of the style), and gone for a pair of inner pockets. I'd have based these on the M421's design, and have them held in place on the armpit seam.

Deerskin would make a great pocket material

[Cole]

@mclaincausey
I think anything else then the usual cotton / canvas materials would make the pockets bulge in a slim fiting jacket like the J-100.

Now that's a leather jacket.

Right up my alley and I love the zips on the arms.

[JCMx800]

Kinda like it…

[van Olzon]

Nice. What model is it, Jo?
The "normal" Alexander Cafe Racer?

[Jordan23]

Suits you well Jo!

[JCMx800]

Thanks guys!
To be honest, MaxP tried em on, I just wanted to put em back on the hanger, but I could not resist. Now I want a leather jacket, maybe 0.5 inches longer in the front and without a half belt. The Giles King is lovely…
Damn!

^You cant go wrong with the GK. I love my brown but the black looks amazing

[Graeme]

I took a look at the McLain today, and it's a very nice jacket. I just need one that's up a couple of sizes from Giles's, with the right tartan as the liner, and a cold climate to wear it in.

Unfortunately the J100 is back in Scotland, as it sounds like it was fitted for Quasimodo. Looking forward to seeing the red one, though…

[Giles]

@mclaincausey 's McLain was being cut yesterday.  I OK'd brown shearling for the pockets, hope that is OK…

[mclaincausey]

Yep that sounds pretty bitchin actually

[Giles]

@mclaincausey a McLain is leaving Scotland for me later today…..I'll have it tomorrow, though sometimes the Alexander shipments get to me after MrUPSMan has picked up....
