That's an awesome jacket @Filthy. I'm looking forward to seeing pictures.

I don't think that Simmons Bilt have a long waiting time, it used to be a lot less than Aero. A few weeks sounds about right.

Thanks a lot guys!

Just got a shipping confirmation for my Kanal jacket.

So close but yet so far away. I have to fly to Montana today so I won't be to check out my jacket until the weekend, if I am lucky.

Recently I acquired a SB Lavant in their Clayton veg tan vintage brown HH:

The new Kanal jacket has arrived and I am pleased to report that it is über-awesome!! First off,  I had no idea the sheepskin would be so buttery soft. It is super soft on the outside.

I got my jacket in extra heavy black on black 15mm, usually the jacket is black leather and white fur…

Also, they were able to hook me up with an American style right hand zipper pull. I wanted it in silver to match the snaps.

The sewing on the collar, throat latch and all over is really great.

The jacket was definitely worth the time, money and wait!! Bring on the winter!

Score!! Love it. Wear in good health.

That’s an absolute BEAST of a jacket @Filthy . The leather looks top quality too.

[organisys]

Wow!

Fit looks bang on too!

Thanks guys! Debs Toohey is very helpful in figuring out the right size. I think we exchanged 30 or so emails over the course of a month to get all the details just right. My jacket took a while longer because the 15 mm black/black was a special order from the tannery. But she said that they are going to make it a regular item now if you want to buy your own. The collar fur was always black, but I didn't want white fur because I wear black clothes and I didn't want it to showing it sheds.

I placed my order the last week of January and got it the end of April.

That's going to be warm…..

@Filthy that's an awesome jacket. But you're going to have to move to the North Pole to get any wear out of it.

This jacket is a tank! Congrats, Filthy!

@Graeme you've clearly never been to Pennsylvania in January. Haha. Anyway it was over 20 c here yesterday and I had it on for about a half an hour and it wasn't too bad. This is what I was hoping for a super warm jacket.

[Graeme]

@Filthy I don't think that it'll ever get cold enough to wear that jacket in Australia. Although given my girlfriend feels hypothermic on warm days, she'd probably wear it in the summer!

I've not been to Pennsylvania, so I can't comment there.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

I'd put it slightly less warm than a down parka.
