@Chris:

A little nuts, he says.

Absolutely insane. Amazing, totally amazing, but damn, that is so much work…

Thank you! It's been a journey for sure.

@sabergirl:

Wow. Impressive!

Thank you!

@neph93:

I’ve been following this on Instagram and have been so exited to see the finished product. It is just spectacular. I’m amazed. If you were to make these for sale, what sort of money would you have to charge?

Thank you so much! I'll have some fit pics soon Oh my…. for sale? I'd probably have to charge $10k to make it worth my time, but it would be seriously custom, and made to measure. And I dare say, it might be the most durable leather jacket out there because it's all saddle-stitched. If someone extremely wealthy comes along and wants one, I'll make it happen, but for the average person, most people are much better off getting a made to measure Aero or something along those lines.

@LewisStonehouse:

That thing is unbelievable, congratulations!

Thank you so much!

@adam313:

It’s one of those glorious personal achievements that makes life enjoyable. Knowing you’ve attended to every conceivable detail in the proper way and there’s nothing left to be done. Something that will last decades created from so many hours of magical mindfulness. Impossible to quantify the intense effort, the preparation, the management of creative time within daily life. It’s one of those things where the final product is greater than the sum of its parts. Simply because you were willing to put in the work required. Going above and beyond like this is so rewarding. It’s hard to communicate and represent the enormous investment to others, and it’s unfair to apply market pricing to something so rare. I’m happy you made it for yourself. If you put a price on it, you’re giving someone an outrageous steal of a deal. These righteous relics are worth more than money!

Thank you so much, and you really hit the nail on the head! It's definitely something I'll cherish forever. Like, the house is burning down, and I grab my wife, my cats, and this jacket.

Congratulations and beejesus! 

The bar you just raised @seawolf cut clean through your workshop roof tiles and shows no sign of slowing. Simply speechless!! I'd love to know how you felt after that final stitch?

@seawolf I saw your jacket on The Fedora Lounge earlier and it looks awesome.

110 hours of saddle stitching though? You need to get out more!

Thank you! The funny thing is, I've been wanting to do a sunglasses case for a while but haven't because it intimidates me. lol. The LAST stitch?! I paid very close attention to it. I paused, I took not of what I was doing, and I made sure to take it in and remember that feeling. It was amazing. After literally thousands of stitches, the last one was almost ceremonious.

I've been stuck at home for the last couple of months. Now I feel bad about not buying leather and spending the time stitching!

Client submission. Thanks @Pipeboss713

[popvulture]

@seawolf nice!!! Are those Cobra buckles?

[seawolf]

@popvulture you know it! I was saving them for a special project. This was it for sure.

[popvulture]

Man, awesome — I might have to hit you up sometime, been wanting a black leather messenger for a long time but haven't been able to find one that checks all the boxes.

[seawolf]

@popvulture that’s kind of my specialty. Checking those boxes!

I want to give a huge shout out to Zach @seawolf
I’ve been wanting to take up a leather craft hobby for a while now. Zach has been the most supportive and helpful friend I could imagine. Dude has offered so much advice, been on call for answering questions and just been an all around legend in helping me get the ball rolling. Thanks a ton dude!! I’m having so much fun learning these new skills. It’s only my first little wallet, but I can’t stop looking at it and holding it. What an incredible feeling it is to create something.
