My understanding is that the tag number indicated which base pattern the craftsperson pulled to make the jacket, and is not a reflection of the completed jacket.
I have submitted a range of specs that I wanted, including a 20” pit-to-pit. The pattern marked 36 has an 18.5” chest and the one...
This one is showing just a hint of brown on a few edges that get a lot of contact, like the pockets.
For my next jacket, I’ve requested a hide with a thin topcoat/ more brown hue if they get one in the incoming batch from Vicenza.
About a full week of wear and it has some lovely creases. There is just a little hint of brown showing, but it’s nearly impossible to capture on camera.
I like this hide so much I ended up ordering another jacket in the exact same leather.
This is kinda cool:

SOP+Laer x-zip. That’s a decent price drop from new, but I’m not sure it’s worth it still. Seller might be open to offers though.

Fantastic! I’m looking forward to hearing what you think of the moleskin.
For some reason, CXLSH cordo always looks better than HH. It gets that perfect Horween #8 colour changing with the light.
How many of you own two or more jackets is the same hide?
I’m thinking through my options on an Aero ‘Ridley’ remake that was originally done in dark seal Vic and I keep coming back to bb Vic for this jacket - even though I already have the Rockafella in bb vic.
Curveball is that I will...
Yep, I am very impressed.
I may even still buy that jacket when they list it on the sale page!
Meanwhile, I’m now running through a range of options on the re-do: maybe something teacore black like cxlsh or jerky with brown accents (thread, zipper tape, lining) or try a Badalassi (black...
They made my jacket this week with the very last of the dark seal Vic, but once completed, decided that the leather wasn’t good enough and so will remake it when new stock comes in next month.
Of course it’s a little disappointing to have to wait longer, but I am far and away impressed to know...
What is the shine like on the black Badalassi? I see some pics that make it look like high gloss pvc and others where it looks as matte as Vic.
The black doesn’t have a brown teacore, right?
