Alexander Leathers

[Giles]

Brilliant idea.  That will be done from now on…...

[EastWest]

Nice! Agree with Snowy on the length, looks a good length on a big feller like yourself, would swamp the vertically challenged maybe?

[Giles]

@EastWest:

would swamp the vertically challenged maybe?

No, because given the many permutations of lined/non lined / leather types, these will be a made to order.  So we can tweak for perfection…..

Looking good, but where's the red goatskin version?

[bigsak22]

Giles, what about the options for zips, can they replace the ball and chain with diamond Talon chain pulls or bell shaped pulls for the chest pockets? Also, how are the upper arms? I recently tried an RMC Buco 46 (I'm typically a 44), and the arms were still way to slim…Not sure if I like the curved yoke seam, think the straight one looks better, can still look like one seam down the arms...

How much will these run?

Thanks!

[Giles]

May be able to change the zips.  I'll investigate.

Arms are well roomy.

I like the curved yoke, so that's how it is staying I am afraid.

When I know pricing I will publish.

Black goatskin with scarlet lining will be next, then red goatskin with black lining…......

Apologies for bad pics, much better will come in the next few days.

I spent a long time looking for my ideal leather jacket, but I always managed to find something in every design that I didn't really like, or that something was wrong or missing. So I did what any sensible person would do and spoke to Giles about getting something made which ticked all my boxes and left unticked many of the things which I regarded as "over design".

My requirements we actually quite simple, it had to be plain, as black as possible, and make me feel like Batman….I am happy to report that this jacket makes me feel like Batman. That's the highest compliment I have ever paid a jacket.

Custom cafe racer (I call it Mega Armour)
Black Chromexcel
IH Brass Zipper
Brass pocket and cuff zippers
No chest pocket
Hand warmer pockets moved back closer to seam
Body length to extend past zipper

V nice mega, fit looks great in the done up.

[khaki8]

Mega…fits a thousand times better than the Simmons Bilt!

[rocket]

echoing the guys, great fit, enjoy it big time…

[seawolf]

The fit looks great. Those sleeves will be absolutely perfect with with a little wear. Please tell me there's some cool Batman toys built into that thing. What's the lining?

[Megatron1505]

Thanks guys, I pretty much love it. I'm currently educating myself on the history of the cafe racer jacket, had a brief chat with G and he has convinced me that the only thing to wear with a jacket like this is a tee, Giles says white, I say black (because I'm Batman).

Lining is twill and I'm fitting the utility belt now @seawolf

[seawolf]

So cool dude, ahem… I mean Batman.

[rocket]

yeah tee only, if it is cold a IHTL-1213 works charm and they come in black or white 

[FurattoHeddo]

@khaki8:

Mega…fits a thousand times better than the Simmons Bilt!

My first thought as well… Very much a fan of brass zippers and black leather as well...

[mclaincausey]

Score!

[Graeme]

@Megatron1505 (or Battron), nice jacket.

Heavyweight Leather Competition?

[Megatron1505]

Don't get me started 

[Graeme]

Hey, I haven't got onto the Heavyweight Backpack Competition yet. :o
