Thanks Terry! I have a few lighter wool options that I really like so this one will be in good company.
I probably won't have all that many days where a jacket of this apparent weight will get use...but at the price I feel like it'll be easy to get my money's worth.
As much as I love the...
@red devil do you still have this one? If so how has the navy worn in over time? Big fan of the design, and the navy is super cool even if it’s not your namesake RED

Ahh I didn’t realize it was that much more to modify it.
Don’t know what the cost would be for import fees etc, but I bet Johnson Leather could produce an awesome one. The truckers on their Instagram look quite nice, and they’ll use pretty much any hide if it can be sourced.
