Nice work Steve, are you planning to sell these?

yes, as soon as i can lock down a supplier for that goatskin. about 95% of the goat out there is too thin & smooth grain. i bought these hides off ebay & was very happy with what i received. have sent a few messages inquiring about more, but haven't gotten any replies.

yeah, much quicker than that B-2, but having one apart for patterns speeds it up a bunch vs working off of pics on the computer!! :lol:

[dujardin]

[Skyhawk]

Nice work! Great looking stitching and those pockets are perfecto!

 

[Steve27752]

Nice, very nice.

The top of the windflap is interesting as it is completely different to that of the A-2.

 

[STEVE S.]

the A2 is a little more squared off. think that is due to the collar extending about half way into the flap.

I know the hides that John started using got his goatskin was taken over by a new supplier in the U.S. And they were the closest to vintage goatskin I have ever seen. Not easy to find though decent goatskin, not with a really nice pebbled grain

Great job btw, collar looks great, and the shape of the pockets are spot on for a W&G, hope you get a lot of interest.
