Yes sleeve 1 to 1.5 inch longer and chest .5 to 1 size bigger, are there any near me in Los Angeles that can shorten this?
Gary at Barini Leather in Studio City (818/506-5422) is a master leather artisan. He has tailored several leather jackets for me and the quality of his work is usually better than the original manufacturer.

@khaki8 I don't own any oil pull horsehide, but do have a FQHH also from alexander. The HH doesn't need any breakin and is comfy from the get go. As for the oil pull it's a stubborn fekker. Im new to having a good quality leather jacket and almost got frustrated with this one as its so hard and got few bruises from it.
Maybe I didn't wear it often enough but slowly its starting to drape bit by bit and forming to my body especially shoulders and arms area. and I'm LOOOOVING it.

thanks Superfluous i contacted AL and told them i wear the jacket for a few hours and Steve offer me a refund or exchange. i gave my actual measurement using their guide and Steve suggest the Cafe Racer in size 38 that is in stock and offer to trim the sleeve length to my size. Roadster on its way to Scotland now, what a great customer service.

Looks excellent @ben2t ! Just a tad shorter than what I'd normally go for, but seeing it on you, I like it. What leather type and colour is that? Sorry if I missed it earlier

Nice!

Arms are going to hike up a bit, it'll be spot on

It came back and it was improved, but still needed tweaking. This is a really difficult thing to do with photos and phone calls. I happen to be meeting Steve Toohey the MD of Alexander Leathers in Berlin next Tuesday. He is going to bring the J100 with him so we can (hopefully) finalise the cut….I am desperate to get this going......

Get an IH/Alexander J100 from me. You can have it custom built, just as soon as I have finalised the design. And it'll be a shit load cheaper than a RMcC…
Options, My special goat in Black, Chestnut or Brick Red, or FQHH (vintage probably) lined or unlined.
This is first sample, production will be 2-3 inches longer, but the bottom of the zip will stay where it is:

Seriously a hard to beat offer - still at the top of my to watch for list…...
Giles, would you also consider a medium-weight veg tanned HH option?
Is it the same goat as the GK's? That be seriously bad-assSent from my iPad using Tapatalk
