Alexander Leathers
-
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

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....

Gonna make us wait eh? Seriously unfair

Ignore the leather we have used to make this sample, it was just some that Alexander had lying around which we used to make the sample.
The production model will have an extra 2 or so inches in body length, but the zipper will remain the same length as on the sample.
A feature I was insistent upon and I think is well executed is the way the arm seam flows into the curved yoke so it looks like one big seam.
Production choices:
Lined or unlined.
My black goat
My brown goat
Vintage Chrome tanned horse
Veg tanned jerky horse
Fit pics will come later

Would be incredible if you could do all your Rider's Iron Heart Co-branded jackets with the one red top pocket for the sake of continuing the tradition. It's a great little wink that let's me know right away it's an Iron Heart product with out loud branding.
Maybe next time

Giles, what about the options for zips, can they replace the ball and chain with diamond Talon chain pulls or bell shaped pulls for the chest pockets? Also, how are the upper arms? I recently tried an RMC Buco 46 (I'm typically a 44), and the arms were still way to slim…Not sure if I like the curved yoke seam, think the straight one looks better, can still look like one seam down the arms...
How much will these run?
Thanks!
