I love absolutely everything about it, only small issue is there seems to be some missing stitches surrounding the button cuff. Is stuff like this normal? I mean overall I'm very happy but I feel like this should be caught by aero
Just got my russet in!! This is my first leather jacket and I am extremely pleased. Shout out to Carrie with the sizing in, it's perfect. I ended up going with a 4 pocket front sheene, however one small change up is I asked for button cuffs. I don't right bikes, and the zip sleeves just are a...
And I am pretty lucky, I asked Carrie and it seems my jacket got out right before the factory shut down. Might take a bit to get here but I'm very excited.
Funny enough, when I got the samples in it was badalassi that felt more plasticky, I liked the feel of vicenza a lot better. However, after deciding natural was a no go for my first jacket, I went with badalassi solely on color. I'm hoping I will be more of a fan of the feel when I get a whole...
This is my first custom ordered jacket, but I was able to request a lighter hide (I did this because Carrie from Thurston told me badalassi would be in between vicenza and cxl in terms of weight, and vicenza felt significant enough for me) so maybe you could order one and request for the...
Also, there should be no change to the grain characteristics even if the leather is thinner. It's probably a very batch dependent thing on the grain. Like I said, I assume most of the "reworking" is just tumbling. Oh, another thing I forgot to mention. Badalassi Carlo is the tannery, and just...
Ken from aero mentioned on the vintage jacket forums that the weight and feel is now similar to vicenza, yes. He said that originally badalassi is just too thick and stiff. I'm super glad for that, and it's the reason I chose it. A lighter weight hide like vicenza, but the colors are just more...
Yeah, I'm surprised it hasn't been more popular as of yet. I've actually owned items in badalassi and knew about the tannery before purchasing my jacket, kind of swayed me in a bit, no idea who produced vicenza, and while horween is one of my fav tanneries, the cxl was just too heavy. When has...
Super excited to find this thread by the way to see your real life badalassi pics. Any chance you can get some pictures taken outside and posted, compared with the vic? Is the vic also russet? A back to back comparison would be cool. Thanks!
I did see that one after googling. The goods I've handled out of Dublin have had a bit less of a dramatic pull-up, but maybe Essex would be an even better choice if one isn't crazy over as much pull up. I have a Sperry (rancourt) boat shoe made from natural Essex and it's gorgeous. Just starting...
