biker leather generals

w2c a biker leather jacket without dropping 2 stacks and came across this
http://www.leatherjacketshop.com.au/

was on the fence about it, but i thought i'd at least check it out. but based on scouring the website information, im becoming less optimistic

>bespoke, but all made in pakistan
>the showroom is the guy's garage
>none of the jackets give you an option of what kind of leather you want on the jacket?

what can i expect? /fa/

what should i ask for if i want something cowhide/grainy? has anyone gotten a bespoke leather jacket before?

Thanks, i'll consider it. the belts stitched on so id have to cut it off.

Is there a specific name for that diagonal cut of jacket or is it just known universally as "biker jacket"?

Go Falcon Garments or Thurston Bros if you need customizing things. They are SF approved brands, much more reliable than your choice. I would buy RTW Japanese Schott instead of going Falcon since I think Japanese Schott has better fits.

Picture of Japanese Schott, good for manlet liek me. Some versions have shorter sleeves than American ones and some versions are repro of old American models.

dunk it in deep blue or purple die. it wont do anything to the black but it should give some color to the sleeves
then it will be dope and unique. only u will have it

Gonna go against the grain and recommend keeping the belt. I sometimes wish mine had one, imo looks better in grungier style fits.

I copped a biker jacket from a thrift store 2 years ago for 30. Still reeks of tobacco. Too bad im too fat and balding to look rebelious.
