We have updated our A-1 Racer with new hides and a few re-designed elements. I redid the collar design and really love the way it has turned out. It is a variation on a A-1 and 37J1 collars with a resizing, and a new type of reinforced collar loop closure. The result is an unique closure in the style of a vintage cafe' racer collar but still having elements of the A-1 jacket. The pockets have been enlarged a bit and moved up off the waist stitching.
The hide is 4 OZ Black Aniline Dyed Cowhide 1.8mm thick. The stuff is heavy and grainy but still soft and comfortable. It has a nice matte finish.
Other hides on tap, 4 OZ Seal Brown Cowhide, and our new Seal Antique "Bull Run" Buffalo hide at a full 2mm thick.
All the materials are correct for the 1930's. Horn main buttons, Casein inner buttons, 100% Cotton Sateen lining, and 100% wool knits.
Now the photos:
