Ok I know there is a thread devoted entirely to the LC jacket, but how about we start one devoted to getting information ONLY on the SMITHSONIAN LC jacket?

Thanks RCSignals. I'm going to get another LC jacket and am trying to go for an even MORE SA version, so I want EVERY detail possible.

This reminds me of something I've long been meaning to ask, but keep forgetting... Did Tony ever get a chance to examine the Smithsonian jacket? If so, has anyone ever asked him for a 1:1 copy?

hey. didnt catch this until now. it will come.

Peter called me here the other day saying that he has a nice ''thickish'' veg tanned lambskin. it is ''shrunken'' but I think this will make a good LC. Im still waiting on the samples.

maby this finally will make the perfect LC...
