Limited Run FINN/POE Lambskin Leather Jacket

Re: Star Wars TFA, Finn/Poe Jack Custom Fit for $215 (HUGE price drop). Genuine Lamb

I would like to see a final version and have the pre order price :) But having to choose between them I will wait for the final version. It looks great, just like to know 100% what Im getting.

Ditto.

I simply just cannot afford it even at the sale price due to commitments to other projects and costumes. But I am spreading the word to friends who are interested. But yeah, you're also right in that people have probably gotten alternative jackets, whether it's the cheap (and IMO poorly made) faux leather ones, danny's jackets, or Magnoli's jackets.
 
Re: Star Wars TFA, Finn/Poe Jack Custom Fit for $215 (HUGE price drop). Genuine Lamb

Honestly, the jacket seems totally cool it's just not what I'm looking for. I'm trying to save for Magnoli because his jacket has what I want when it comes to "features"

I want the jacket to be quarter lined (as the screen used jacket is) and Magnoli will do that
I want the jacket to be made out of goatskin (which is what I think the screen used jacket is made out of) and magnoli will do that
I want the jacket to be made with no red leather or straps so I can paint it myself (like the screen used jacket) and Magnoli will do that

And so on and so on, at this price point if you want a lambskin Poe jacket you're totally the best option. But since I want these specific details I can't commit to your jacket because I feel like I'd always want to upgrade later anyways.
That's just my reasoning and i'm not sure if everyone shares it but I wanted to post it because I do hope you get this run up and going and it sucks you're not getting much interest.
So there's my ten cents and a bump for attention

"Quarter lined" huh? Is that what's going on with the movie jacket. Good to know, it was hard to tell. The red leather I think is really made from red leather, but I could likely be convinced otherwise. The red strap will be made with a normal colored strap and I was planning to paint them myself. Leather type, I honestly have no idea, I just guessed lambskin because it looked like it fell the same way.

It sounds like I'm trying to talk you into it, which isn't my goal, honest. Magnoli has a great jacket that is absolutely worth getting if you can afford it. But I am surprised there hasn't been more interest.

Yeah quarter lined like this seems to be what's going on with the jacket on screen.

Like that, because the body has no lining but the sleeves don't get stuck and you can see a flash of lining when Finn is pointing at the Millennium Falcon as he says "we can't outrun them" and stuff.

You're definitely making a good argument though haha, I think goat and lamb fall very similarly but this up close picture shows texture that screams goat to me and shows the strap is painted and therefore I figure the leather section would be painted too

I feel like you almost could talk me into this, but the goat skin instead of lamb skin is important to me because at least from my experience with leather, a good lamb skin will last you ten years if you're lucky, but a good goatskin... That you'll be writing into your will.

Yep, that strap is 100% painted. If that photo isn't enough, this one did it for me:

As for the panel though, nothing I've seen shows scuffed or chipped paint, making me pretty sure it's just red leather that has some dust on it:

I didn't know that about goatskin being tougher. I thought that goatskin was always textured a bit, like a pebbled texture, and lambskin is smooth. But maybe that's just based on the very small selection they had at Tandy Leather.

Look at the lower left corner and the right side of the panel in this picture

That's totally painted! I'm sure they made more than one jacket for production but this picture reveals that's how they were likely all made. I'm sure the paint was just made for leather so it sticks or even dyes a lot better on the leather panel than the strap.

And yeah, likely that was just their selection. Goatskin is incredibly durable and is what the Air Corps used for their A2 jacket because it was as or more durable than horsehide and more flexible. That little history connection is why I think they used goatskin for Poe's jacket, since it is supposed to be a resistance pilot jacket.

The original definitely isn't lambskin, but I'm not sure about goat. All the goat I've ever seen has been really strongly textured. I thought the original was just cowhide. Maybe plonge. I'd love to see the jacket made in cow instead of lamb, or goat if you could find one that's not super textured.

As for the reds, I like that the webbing will be painted, and I do think the leather patch was painted on the real jacket, but I'd prefer that piece be red from the start, since paint will inevitably flake off. It's fine for a quick hack job on a set, but I'd want the jacket to last and painted leather won't last. It'll look awful in no time.

As a side note, as long as we're talking details, it would be cool to see a little less topstitching around the front edge of the final run jackets. The original didn't have any.

Still in either way, but if you plan to make any changes, just thought I'd mention that.

Ok, as a heads up for those who are still thinking about it (and an update for those who are already on the list) I will be placing the order THIS weekend. So if you want in, now is the time. And for those awesome people who have got in early, I think we're still on track to ship at the end of June.

So this is a go? I thought you needed 14 people?

If it's a go, i'm in. I'll just need to get the measurements later on today.

It's a go. I thought I needed 14 people, but I spoke with the manufacturer and we worked out a plan to make it so I could start sooner. I didn't want to punish the early hop-ons with a big delay! In the end It's not as good for me, but I didn't want this to be one of those projects that takes so long trying to get new people in on it that all the first people got tired of waiting and dropped out and then the whole project dies :)
