pulled trigger on these. These HH Brown made ATF boots still uses the traditional veg tanned, spray painted leather that’s seen on many eBay 50s jackets, by Ward, Sears et al. I really want to know where the leather is sourced & see if one can make jackets out of it the thinner grades of...
I remember my old roommate, well, house mate in the UK, who happens to also own that house, was being helpful & hung my Schott by the hook. I was livid. However, he probably didn’t like the sight of a jacket on the couch & really thought he was being nice....

Their attempted story-telling style product description reads a bit...strange. “In 1814, Britain dispatched 30,000 troops to Nepal. The arrogant British officers and soldiers thought they could crush 12,000 Nepalese Gurka soldiers with their fine equipment. This army was mainly composed of...

Interestingly my new LL lightning I’m glossy horsehide also has this characteristic. I first thought the underfacing was cut wrong size as the upper facing but when I laid it flat, the two pieces do match. It’s just the nature of the thinner horsehide

Remind me, you just sent an email, & they replied? No repeated emailing & calling? That’s very good man. I always have a pleasant conversation every time I call the shop.
