I thought about using this one to experiment on as well. Maybe soak it or wash it and see what the results would be, maybe stick it in the oven for a bit. See if I can shrink it. I bid up to 150 and someone else was fighting for it, but after about 20 mins before the end no one else raised it which I was very surprised about, cos usually all the activity is in the last 2 mins, but nothing. Maybe people just didn't realise how much they're worth, I dunno. I ain't complaining. Unless its massive, then it'll be a bit annoying.
as for the lining, I am going to be ordering from Jonathan very soon and I'll get him to put some samples of leathers and linings in the box when he sends the jackets I'm going to be ordering. Two at once. I'm hoping he can do that. Then I'll probably get one of the jackets you two have as well. I'm so greedy.
Oh yeah, if it's too big then it's the perfect opportunity to try shrinking it and some distressing techniques! I am psyched to hear what you find out. Especially with the oven. I've been considering doing that, but it's gonna be tough to get myself to do that so I really am not sure about that yet. I'm not sure if it NEEDS it considering the look I think the oven gives will be the crackly kind of look that this leather already pretty much has.
Two more JALs sounds perfect! You've got two already, right? So they each need a friend… So many JALs, so little time! I am already thinking about what my next one from him will be. Probably something fully custom built from my crazy brain, but that's a ways off… I think. This is addicting…
