IHAL-J100 - Iron Heart/Alexander Leathers J100

[No.88]

F*ck me with the fat end of a rag-man's trumpet! That is one nice jacket. First Goatzilla, then this! Stop it!

Q. Can you make it with a traditional collar as opposed to the mandarin type?

Cheers.

@Giles:

J100's typically do not have a gusset (that is the V of leather you normally find behind the cuff zips).  I decided that I preferred it without and it is a hell of a lot comfier without.  What you see in the pic is the red lining…

This surprises me, I think I've seen sleeve gussets on at least some vintage J100s.

Either way, this is a magnificent beast that outdoes the original.

OK.  Let me modify my position to.  "Most J100's that I like do not have a gusset".  That's probably a bit more accurate…

Everything is possible, but I'd prefer not to do that, and just point you in the direction of a black GK….

Side pockets non zipped.
Possible? Acceptable?

NB'd G.
I was all over that brown GK, then bam! A whack to the solar-plexus, the J100 sticks its napper above the parapet! Decisions, decisions.  :-\

@Giles:

Late next week or the week after, we should see a Natural Essex Sample jacket.  Soon thereafter, the red….

Very curious to see this one.

[Giles]

If you are not careful, I'll be wearing it in Portland…..

The length of this one is much better then the length of the last prototype.

Another contender for the free J-100 slot in my closet. I would prefere sleeve gussets though. I allways wear my sleeve zips open and would hate to expose my forearms all the time. 

[mclaincausey]

I'm a gusset guy too, but I love the contrast. So just make the gussets out of the red leather eh?

[Giles]

You'll need to look somewhere else then I am afraid.  This one comes with no gussets…...

[zatenm]

Would the Essex be too far off from this?

[zatenm]

^ this looks waxed though

[Giles]

^ That's veg tanned horse…...

Natural Essex is on the right....

[hajduk]

And on the left?^
