Hey guys, this was a dream jacket for me, but sadly, it's just a bit tight, I could probably use a 42...so I just do not wear it. Probably seen 3 wears from me max. I bought it off the original owner who never wore it...so this is pretty dang close to mint. Asking $1100 shipped in the USA via...
You'd be surprised. A lot of people don't lol. Especially since badassi has only been started being offered pretty publically recently.
I would also be repeating myself. Good day
I disagree and don't think it makes any sense. It's not even about quality. When I know the tannery and the tannage done I can get some semblance of the materials properties. Your Swaine Adeney Brigg example is perfect for me. I understand that no matter what material they use it will be very...
I have always liked knowing where my products are sourced from. Yep just like you described with vansons and schotts leather. Of course just because the name of the source is hidden doesn't mean that the product/material cannot be phenomenal. Often times it can be. However it is also easier for...
Not really. Family has over 40 years in the leather business. I've known badalassi for over 10 years. Just newer to jackets. My scope is well beyond that of the few leathers on offer by jacket makers. What's really a shame is hiding behind fake brands and names like Vicenza and liberty and...
He has better close ups on the aero badalassi thread, and plenty of other great examples on there. However besides the rolls you can see dramatic color shift . Out of the box the grain is also quite pronounced...doesn't need to be worn a ton to "pop"
Honestly worse than blind if you cannot see the changes in the first pic and the following. Also, I said badalassi ages beautifully. Said nothing about my jacket in particular. You are welcome to see mine but I have not had much of a chance to wear mine in a year and a half, so does not have...
That's the hilarious thing. If you know much about leather you would know that badalassi is pretty highly regarded in terms of vachetta....while vicenza is just a brand name and is actually as you described badalassi at first...made for feeling comfy out of the box for those that couldn't handle...
What do you guys think about this one? LW suburban with shearling lining, my third pickup. Being from Chicago area, I wanted something I could wear in a little bit cooler weather and this fits the bill. What do you guys think on fitment? Personally I think about .5-1 inch longer in the front...
Back to the original question, this is a great article from Nick Horween which actually shows quite a significant difference in grain pattern comparing steer to horse, and it discusses jackets and Aero in particular. However, I think most of the horsehide and steerhide we have in jackets is...
Definitely badalassi. Greater depth of color and grain to me. I was going to do russet vicenza based on feel, but the badalassi looked so much more vibrant, and the jacket does feel nice. This is a nice close up of my russet. Squeak is down quite a lot too after a few months of light wear. Also...
