Alexander Leathers

[mclaincausey]

Thanks! Sure @ruben, I'll post a full review with detailed pics whenever I can–it will likely be a few days though, super hectic schedule, leaving this job in Minneapolis tomorrow, consulting on a project in Mississippi Saturday, then starting a new job in Colorado Monday.

This steerhide ain't no joke. It's a struggle to put the jacket on, though obviously that will change with time. It's exactly what I wanted, a very firm leather to beat into submission.

Yep, that's very nice, kudos.

Jacket and fit look great, mcl. Congrats.

Good luck with the move, too. Colorado is a beautiful state.

MCL…good luck on the new job....and the new jacket...

Giles, what's the likelihood of al ever getting their hands on some shinki?

[mclaincausey]

Thanks gents, I couldn't be happier. This steer is a wild untamed beast which promises to age beautifully.

Well.  Never say never, but ridiculously unlikely. They won't bother & I don't particularly like it, so I won't source it for them….Sorry

just want to share my alexander simmons bilt.

[khaki8]

Friday..looks fantastic..which leather and color did you get?

[ben2t]

From Scotland with Love  but a little bigger for my liking 

[SLAB]

looks good but sleeves look indeed a bit long

[spitfiredealer]

I would say they are a more than a bit long

[Friday]

@khaki8 thanks. It's their brown oil pull steer.

[Graeme]

I reckon that sleeves aside, the fit looks good.

Shortening sleeves is pretty straightforward. Johnson Leather in SF charge $75 to $120 for it, and that might be cheaper and easier than sending it back to Scotland.

Ben2….Thurston Bros. can fix it...but they will charge if you didn't buy it from them. Wade and Carrie give great service there and delivery times are much shorter than ordering directly.
Jacket should be great after shortening the sleeves.
