Burning question: *leans forward, reporter- style, microphone at the ready* Did you get the indigo croc?? Will we ever see the Wearwolf calf jacket? ⭐️

I also succumbed to an All Saints Dalby U.K. 4 black biker on visit to Harrods 2 weeks ago…
You’re an icon
That red lipstick is fire
The croc peeking out of the zip omg ❤️
And (pls don’t take this as humblebrag: I am so proud of this girl; she’s a master of visual cognates) my architect friend used to do photography for model portfolios, a known magazine, & upcoming designers on the side; she had a crystal bowl with 50+ red lipsticks that she would mix-match to her subject. If she reached in her bowl that would be the lipstick for you
i love this leather finish so much, it goes hard & accomplishes
This is slightly crazy but I have a dalby (AllSaints sizing is…interesting) with gold hardware since I didn’t have any gold HW jackets— but I had some gold jewelry & watches I treasured, & thought would look rad with a jacket thrown atop if the elements harmonized just so. I’m kind of meh about my decision (in my defence the sales were on…) as I like the SHW version you have ^ or the version with black HW more, & mixed metals aren’t so bad… I saw a deal, tried it on & grabbed it, then took off the tag so… yeah. I still love the Dalby cut though! This is UK 6 & doesn’t fit right… serves me for trying on with sale goggles. other AllSaints are UK 4; denim is 24/25 waist. In clothes that aren’t jackets, I typically wear a sample size that has to be hemmed (164cm) but I don’t have an issue with AllSaints except that they’re confusing & I’m never sure how much to size up. Saint Laurent (saving for a jacket that I love; have some pieces that aren’t leather jackets) is at least consistent with measurements. I don’t care about the number or vanity-sizing. Please let my clothes fit!

Yes, I’m 152cm, no bust, no hips, all legs, 23” jeans in Diesel super skinny , most don’t even fit lol, straight up and down..long legs, no body!
Have had clothes made since my late teens as nothing fitted..my poor Mum had to alter Everything..ballet training made sure I stayed flat chested..Mum used to call me a Daddy long legs as my arms are very long as well!
Not a petite as my limbs are long-I look tall in photographs..am used to it now..it doesn’t bother me..but it does cost me a lot in clothes bills, luckily I love bespoke clothing!xx
I might copy the Dalby in Japanese calf next year…I’m not sure, as I’m planning a bespoke shearling coat and a Savile Row suit, but there’s no such thing as too many leather jackets-last year I nearly bought a black crocodile biker but the price for the jacket would have bought a coloured diamond ring..and much as I love leather, I’m a jewellery girl too!

Here is the Wearwolf Japanese calf jacket-it’s 4 years old, has been worn Zillions of times…
Japanese calf is very very soft and silky, it’s Much softer than lamb skin, I might get a Japanese lambskin jacket made but I’m worried that it would be too fragile -it’s not a jacket for life.
This was supposed to be bespoke but is a bit big..it’s very comfortable but could be smaller..but would spoil the proportion to tailor , the lining is cotton rather than synthetic ..
I love it and will wear it until it falls apart, but it won’t outlive me!

@sanarae in addition the hardware is gunmetal which I love …the style was copied from a Pierotucci one I wore out, the proportion from a very old bespoke General Leather Company bespoke one.
Now I just have these 5 leather jackets left(I wish I hadn’t let the others go..) out of 11 coats and jackets..
In my 20’s I loved leather so much I refused to buy a proper winter coat and had a Japanese calf trench coat lined in cashmere to turn it into a winter coat!
Now I wear shearling as wool coats just don’t keep me warm enough..
One of my best birthday presents during lockdown was when No, No, Yes! Sent me a set of handmade leather coasters from Japan, which I’ve never used, which I’ll keep forever..
How many leather jackets do you have?❤️❤️

The real outfit probably outweighs anything that my mind was able to conjure up with your words... which means you probably were a complete rebel queen in that outfit. Thanks for sharing the on-hanger pics... that jacket is something special! Love all the lace-ups, mesh and zipper placements.
I love that the lining is cotton rather than synthetic. It looks like a very luxe jacket.
All Saints Balfern jacket. I've had it about 8 years? It's the prefect biker for me. I wear it all the time
Thanks-Japanese calf literally feels and looks like silk..
