@Finn666:

oh damn @zatenm now you got me 2nd guessing

I hear ya @Finn666 [emoji1] Too many killer configurations to choose from…  G is not making it easy either - Can't wait to see the other samples made!

[Giles]

Essex will be complete this week….

[zatenm]

@Giles:

^ That's veg tanned horse…...

Natural Essex is on the right....

Super light in colour.. Seriously very interesting. Reminds me of the MF campus jacket.. I'm assuming this will age and darken quite rapidly with wear like tan hides usually do?

That's the plan…

[zatenm]

^Sweet…Thanks G

[Cole]

@Giles:

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

To bad. 

[superfuzz]

That veg tanned horse looks amazing!!!!!!

[davito]

@superfuzz the veg tanned shiniki horse jacket @zatenm posted is one of the RMC buco j100

Nice chestnut and Essex G that gonna evolve beautifully

@zatenm:

Would the Essex be too far off from this?

Couldn't resist…

[Cole]

@Qinhan:

Couldn't resist…

You are so weak. 

[zatenm]

Why wouldn't you? Ace jacket is a superb colour.. Great to see an actual fit on a fellow forum member, Q (lucky b****** [emoji1])

[superfuzz]

That jacket is amazing. I bet it will look even better with a ton of wear!

[Qinhan]

Just one more before I return this hijacked thread to its original topic…

[zatenm]

Yup, a defining feature of this jacket….

[zatenm]

^it's more of a shirt than a jacket IMO but I know what you mean, it's very pratical to have side pockets and i can see why for many the traditional J100 won't do without them

[Finkster]

Awesome Jacket! … but I don't like the "Gusset-free"-Sleeves. Side pockets are also indispensable - insofar the GK is my favorite target (when I have the money some day)

[Giles]

I'm trying to offer different things for different people/activities/styles.  I'm deliberately making the cuts I offer, as different as possible from each other…

[Omega Man]

I know what you mean - can't be all things to all people, all of the time.

[Giles]

@Finkster:

I don't like the "Gusset-free"-Sleeves.

Ever tried them?  They are a million (roughly :D) times more comfortable than gusseted sleeves…..
