      Just got an email to say they have finished making my jacket. That's one week in production and constructued by Steve at Simmons Bilt, who also measured me at the IH Anniversary party. Pretty pleased and excited to receive it.

              So pleased. It fits perfectly. Thanks to @Alex for making the party happen and @Giles for the introduction to Debs and Steve so I could get measured at the party.
              Really happy with all the modifications and the leather choice.

                                  SIMMONS BILT - TAIL GUNNER HORSEHIDE LEATHER JACKET - NATURAL

                                  Arrived today 🙂
                                  Is this a serious problem? Should I return it or keep it? The jacket is new and has not been worn.

                                  Thanks for the answers 🙂

                                    I wouldn’t say so. Leather is a natural product and that kind of thing is entirely normal. It is those sort of irregularities that will make it unique when the patina comes in.

                                        Is what a serious problem? I can't tell what you are referring to. Agreed that it looks like a great leather jacket.

                                          Sorry, my mistake. Back panel have some wrinkles as you can see on the photos.
                                          Now, my OCD can live with that but I am afraid that leather can crack in the future. Newer had experience with wrinkles on new leather jacket.

                                            I doubt it, unless it is neglected beyond what even the laziest jacket owner (me), is capable of.
