JELADO Winchester Deerskin [RG94405D]

"East West Musical Instruments .Co"

A brand established in 1967 by Norman Stubbs. The location was North Beach, San Francisco, which was at the forefront of the leather scene at the time. David Warren and Steve Reback, who was airbrushing Harley-Davidsons at the time, were among the designers. Various models existed, each with a unique model name, and custom-made items for customers existed, which were truly works of art! Many musicians were also customers, including Janis Joplin, David Bowie, Mick Jagger, and Elvis Presley, and of course, custom-made items that became their stage costumes existed and enjoyed legendary popularity. Among the many models, we have reproduced the Winchester, which is very popular among collectors.

The purple stitching on the sewing thread further emphasizes the design. The stash pocket on the back of the collar, which was said to be used to hide marijuana at the time, has also been reproduced.
At the time, East West seemed to offer options to choose from steerhide, buffalo, and deerskin, but Jelado is making a Winchester using deerskin for the first time.
The raw hide is 1.5mm thick New Zealand deerskin, and by tailoring it with uneven thickness, we express the roughness of vintage.
It is domestically drum-tanned with vegetable tannins and dyed only with through-dye.
Although it has a tight silhouette, when worn, it has an alluring and unique atmosphere, allowing you to wear a leather jacket unlike any other.
