I was going to wait untill i had the jacket in hand before posting pics, but i can't keep this to myself any longer, i think this jacket is just too cool not to share.
I don't know how much she weighs, but Stu said she was super thick and heavy, apparently they used 5+oz leather and lined some of the pockets (the patch pockets and the hidden gusset pocket) in their heavy canvas. I am expecting an absolute beast!
It isn't an exact copy of the Appalachian, more a LW interpretation than a real repro, but i think it really came out great.
Unfortunately i am leaving on sunday for a hike across Corsica (Gr 20) and won't be able to see it untill i come back on the 15th of July, i can't wait!
If any of you guys are into it, it should be available on the website soon...

The leather looks pretty thin on this one, or maybe it's just a pic. How much does the jacket weigh?
It's definitely thin. 1.3 kg
I am always searching for lighter jackets due to my location.
I love that! Where’s the fail!??
You chose a super cool pattern to resurrect Carlos! Appalachian leathers later became Taylor’s Leather and Fur, with an emphasis on police jackets. They knew what they were doing with the pattern. This looks leaps and bounds above Aero’s somewhat half hearted attempt (albeit they were focusing more on the HD version). I can’t wait to see your pics and then push down the inevitable feeling of jealous rage they will no doubt inspire. LOL. Well done man, very well done!
Not bad. Not too heavy, not too light. A sweet spot for cool summer evenings or spring/fall.
I can’t believe I’m saying this but it’s an inch too long…. Haha…
Oh I get that 100%. As does my last Aero, that was an inch too short. I’m this game an inch is approximately the length of 25 football fields, doubled x 837 + 1” or minus 1”.
