The shell is cowhide, 1.2-1.3 mm thick. It is drum-dyed and milled. Drum dyeing takes the color deep into the hide, so small scuffs show less. Milling makes the leather softer. This weight gives good scrape resistance and still lets you move. Stretch Cordura panels on the sleeves add more give. Each jacket is cut and hand-stitched after you order.
To get the Wes Cooley 1981 jacket in a custom size, select Custom Size in the Size options and complete checkout. After that you receive an order number.
