    There maybe, but what I am currently doing is what I am currently doing….

      Man up @Finn666!

      Actually, goatskin tends to be a lot softer than something like the Horween FQHH. I think that if you went for a really supple hide, like a lambskin, the style wouldn't work.

        @Joule respect for that project

        @Finn666 j100 is a mc and not a kittycat jacket 🙂 🙂 wear it and it molds and shapes nicely like a glove 🙂 no offence against you Sir just my opinion of the leather of the jacket

        Cheers,
        David

          And if you find that goat I sent you too stiff, then I'm going to start calling you @Rafaela

            I love the classic J100 and its heritage of 60years +, IH's take looks really great with nice options at a great price. with the goat leather you'll have a good option starting a bit "easier" to break in compared to horse or say steer like back in the days. still it take some years until it shapes and molds fully to your built.
            It was a leather shirt for the dirt racers during the 50s/60s and the riders customized their jackets with patches and paintings and the shirt evolved being padded for protection a bit later in these years.

            Cheers,
            David

                @Joule  great job & the pair of balls on you to even attempt this.

                  Goatskin Leather = stiff  😞  … Ähm .. what?

                  You own a IHxVS Denim J. and surely some 21 / (25) oz.'s  ... Where is the problem with this piece of Leather.  🙂
                  Horsehide can be a torment (my opinion) - but I never had uncomfortable times with Goat- or Steerhide Jackets (and I have/had a lot of Leather Stuff in the last 20 years) ... A few weeks / months of constant using - and all is well.

                  Go @Rafa go!    😃

                      Hi Giles,
                      Can you please tell me the turn around for one of these in Essex? It will have to be a custom job as I'm about 48" around the chest.
                      Cheers.

                        @Bunyip They're all custom made.  Normally about 3-4 weeks, but I am waiting for a delivery of Essex, so I think that'll add on another 4-5 weeks or so.

                            Unfortunately #1 did not work out for @dudewuttheheck .  So it's up for grabs at USD1,000.  XL.

                            Black goat and red Ventile…
