Custom Leather Jacket

fricatus

Hi all, wondering if you can help.

I want to get myself a leather jacket, and there are plenty of styles out there that I like, particularly the pea-coat type or the fairly classic straight-line ones with a zipper down the front.

However guys' jackets seem only ever to come in black or brown, and I'd like mine in an olive green. I remember seeing one like it in a magazine and thinking it was a cool colour.

It seems to me that the ideal thing to do is to go to a specialist shop, pick out the style and size that suits me, and then ask them to get it made in the colour that I want.

I'm going to be in Dublin a few times over the next few weeks so there seems like my best bet. Can anyone recommend places I might try?

Thanks!

There's a place on Talbot street in Dublin.

Not 100% sure of the name but he will create custom leather jackets.

There's a guy who makes wrestling gear in the USA. He is currently making replica leather Kane masks. Like this;




He mentioned on his blog one time that he was going to be making a replica Bret Hitman Hart jacket for someone. Here's the jacket he made;

Just thought I'd mention him. You could always send him an email and see what kinda pricing he has on this kinda thing. Might work out cheaper than locally, and seen as he's quite the artistic type, you may be able to completely customise everything about it to however you feel (you should check out his blog posts, the detail on some of the masks and wrestlers tights he makes is amazing).
