I will post later today about the interlocking buckle with samples and pictures
Don't you think it's better to post all your content in one single thread? Otherwise we could loose the overview
Aaah, ave read your post in the other thread right now. I understand.
Is this a replica or original buckle?
.............What will be new ,.Leather ....... My aim is going to create a jacket for 1/3 of the cost of others . I will help and direct you guys will make sure I do not run of the rails when I am wrong .
Do you made a decision what type of buttons you'll use? There were plenty of different styles, wood buttons in various shapes, leather ones, horn ones....
Im excited to read more of your project
Like you said used leather would be nice but I am a pit to pit of 25" or 63cm that part I have not sourced yet .I will keep you posted .

Just looked behind me, we have an old Art Deco Leather Suite in the sitting room, at least 6 panels on that particular one would be big enough, not thas ours is up for grabs
Bombing IP, your buckles are simply perfect! It must have been very hard to find...
It's really nice to be able to share what you've learned about this jacket. I really appreciate the approach.
When this thread has matured, and your jacket is finished, it would be worthwhile to centralize the information (stories and technical data) on cyclist jackets in one place. Maybe here on the forum ? or maybe on a blog ? a website ?
