          Lovely,  Can't wait to get one of those built in the natural HH…

          was that the one you were offering to jump on the wagon a few weeks back?
          would love to have something similar as friday's jacket, just not as bulky…still looking for THE perfect leather jacket for me!

            3 - 3.5 oz according to AL..

            And Rafa, its not bulky at all buddy, its the leather, hard and sturdy 🙂 , just need a breaking-in process thats all. G-San's plan to skived them is what you're looking for. I would say go for it!

                      well that's what i've ment…not looking for a hard and sturdy leather. want something less "brutal" that let's me move around as if i wouldn't wear a thing...but the "G-method" sounds good to me. Going to wait and see how things are going to turn out once G receives his sample (thanks for answering G.!).

                        Love the Simmons Bilt Friday! I keep looking at those on the AL site, but couldn't decide if that style would work for me, but your fit pic has convinced me it would - just need to decide whether to spec one from AL or go for G's option…

                          G's Simmons-Bilt will be totally rad,
                          but hard to decide between HH and Natural Essex.

                            I can do either, he is getting both hides in for me.  I'm going to do a Type III in the Essex too….

                              Type III with dark snaps instead of buttons would be sweet.

                                Would love snaps as well, pretty much like these RMC type IIIs:

                                      The Himel Heron is very similar, but not as bulky.

                                          I will be doing some very limited (<10/colour) run of Buco Styleking type jackets (Google it) in specially sourced French 1 - 1.2mm goatskin.  I'm likely to do the first run in a black:

                                          I have chosen the Styleking as it is a supremely elegant and simple but tough jacket that is as easy to wear off a bike as it is on.

                                          Let me know if you are interested.  I don't have much more data at the moment, still have stuff to sort out….

                                            I love the simplicity of the style king. I might be interested instead of the cafe racer.
