how do the FQHH jackets compare to the Lost World & Aero horsehide jackets in terms of quality, thickness, durability, etc?

At least the first run anyway. I may come out with an alternate, less tapered, less-skinny fit, we'll see. I think you could pull it off though, it'd require a different mindset fit-wise for you I think, but yeah you could do them. Wait and see, they're gonna be awhile still. I gotta wait for my girlfriend to report back to me, and then I gotta pull together resources and get myself to Japan to get samples made, and map out an order.

Haha, I got it. I can take a hint

Talking to Charly about meeting up next week for a white oxford.

But it'll be a sexy all-natural rain sponge! PS: Is this the yellow jacket y'allz was talking about? http://cgi.ebay.com/J-Crew-Yellow-Ra...#ht_500wt_1182

In which color and fabric would you suggest and for what reasons? I'm completely new to leather and would like to make the jump in.

If it matters, I'm 5'8 140lbs, wear a 36R with a 30" waist. I'm of asian ethnicity with a very fair complexion.

Yes. Peep JKISSI in one of the gallery pics, lol.

 

[KitAkira]

Yeah I actually got that from his twitter lol

 

[slipgun]

Would love a wine or dark grey coat (leaning towards the latter). Preferably lined SB with a hood and black leather under the collar.

I wonder if toj can do a sort of waxed leather effect, with some parts appearing rubbed off to a red/blue while the rest remained black.

 

[KitAkira]

Probably not, ToJ is not at the fabric development stage yet Prorsum trenches are 100% cotton

 

[impolyt_one]

not all prorsum trenches are cotton, the ones that are cotton are waxed. I said I am not doing waxed. That is not to my taste.

feeling the bomber

Stuffed my wallet with cash from some recent sales. Really does work, lol.

 

[splattered]

I know you said in a recent post somewhere that you aren't a fan of the long wallet/chain combo, but could you do something to that effect for the people that are? Or even a tether-able version of your regular short wallets? I wanna replace my wallet with something and i am up in the air on what i want... but i dig the idea of a chain/leather tether

how long are the horsehide bombers going to be available?
