      @EastWest:

      would swamp the vertically challenged maybe?

      No, because given the many permutations of lined/non lined / leather types, these will be a made to order.  So we can tweak for perfection…..

        Looking good, but where's the red goatskin version?

          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!

            May be able to change the zips.  I'll investigate.

            Arms are well roomy.

            I like the curved yoke, so that's how it is staying I am afraid.

            When I know pricing I will publish.

              Black goatskin with scarlet lining will be next, then red goatskin with black lining…......

                Apologies for bad pics, much better will come in the next few days.

                I spent a long time looking for my ideal leather jacket, but I always managed to find something in every design that I didn't really like, or that something was wrong or missing. So I did what any sensible person would do and spoke to Giles about getting something made which ticked all my boxes and left unticked many of the things which I regarded as "over design".

                My requirements we actually quite simple, it had to be plain, as black as possible, and make me feel like Batman….I am happy to report that this jacket makes me feel like Batman. That's the highest compliment I have ever paid a jacket.

                No chest pocket
                Hand warmer pockets moved back closer to seam

                        The fit looks great. Those sleeves will be absolutely perfect with with a little wear. Please tell me there's some cool Batman toys built into that thing. What's the lining?

                          Thanks guys, I pretty much love it. I'm currently educating myself on the history of the cafe racer jacket, had a brief chat with G and he has convinced me that the only thing to wear with a jacket like this is a tee, Giles says white, I say black (because I'm Batman).

                          Lining is twill and I'm fitting the utility belt now @seawolf

                                My first thought as well… Very much a fan of brass zippers and black leather as well...

                                          How about a heavyweight "jeans button doer upper" competition?
