Manhattan Maiden at Your Service

After doing my brother’s jacket, I was hooked.  And I lucked out in finding another great single panel back leather jacket that was just my size.  So I whipped up a design and went to work.

Again, I went for a more “realistic” look, meaning I didn’t want it to be perfect.  Overall, I’m fairly pleased.  If I did it again, there would be some things I would changed.  This one took less time, for two reasons; 1, less detail work, 2, unlike my brother’s jacket which was so beaten the finish was gone, making the paint soak right through, this jacket didn’t do that, so I didn’t need to put a million layers of paint on it.  Also, this jacket isn’t as old, and has slit pockets instead of flap ones.  But it suits nevertheless.
