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

[ben2t]

@zathenm, its a chrome steer brown.

Really great fit Ben!
Maybe still a bit too long arms…But i repeat myself, great fit here!! [emoji6]

Nice!

[seawolf]

Everything looks perfect to me Ben2t! I love the cut, and the arms look spot-on!

[ben2t]

Thanks again, arms feel a little bit long but i like the look. One more pix

[mclaincausey]

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

Here's mine after about 6 months… got to send it back to have the zipper repaired soon.

Giles, did you ever get that Buco J-100 rendition back after being recut/rebuilt? Or any updates/progress you can speak of, for that project??? Thanks! Steve

[Giles]

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......

[Giles]

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-ass

Yes, we could do a medium weight veg tanned.

Yes it is the same leather as the GK.

[zatenm]

Great news on both accounts. Thank you Sir

Feckin BOOM…....

I got "take 3" of the J100 today.

It is made from "crazy steer", which I am seriously not keen on, so I tried it on with some hesitation.

I am seriously, seriously impressed.  The cut is exactly what i was looking for.  It could be made from chicken skin and I would still be in love....

Pics tomorrow....
