poppykettle said... This is just totally uber-cool. I knew of the pattern, but you've just totally raised my opinion of it. HAWT! 8/31/12 1:22 AM
Jrhee said... Looks great! 8/31/12 1:28 AM
Renata said... A very impressive jacket, both for looks and first attempt at working with leather. As far as difference in colour, I am sure you would be the only one to judge that too harshly, isn't that the nature of leather. I think once it softens up it will look even better than it does now. If not, I will be very happy to take it off your hands. A winner! 8/31/12 3:09 AM
