More detailed photos to come this week. The back is identical to the A-1 / 2-piece back.

Here are some more shots of the first test jacket. It came out nice with only a few minor adjustments to make. I really like how the collar turned out! This hide on this one is a thick 3.5oz Capeskin. This jacket will also be available in 3oz black goatskin. There will also be options to choose from like knit color, Black, Olive, Tan, Seal, Red Brick, Med brown, and various button options as well.










Regards,

Thanks! The snaps are black as are all the buttons and 100% cotton black thread. The snaps are hard to photograph and get the color to show because of the mirror effect of the gloss black. I should be able to control that more in the upcoming photo shoot for the site, these were just quickie outdoor shots. I am also having a 3oz black goatskin test jacket built. The goat hide is nice. a bit more of a dull finish and lots of graining.
