    My BK Westfall in badalassi cowhide

    After 2 days wear, I can say the badalassi is very nice hide, its not as heavy and stiff as HH, feels comfort even without break in. But I have a feeling that it not as easy to break in as HH. And take a long time to show some characters.

    My BK Westfall in badalassi cowhide

    Did some search on internet, according to Wikipedia. "Vegetable-tanned leather is not stable in water; it tends to discolor, so if left to soak and then dry it will shrink and become less supple, and harder. In hot water, it will shrink drastically and partly gelatinize, becoming rigid and...

    Does veg tanned leather will absorb water or something like that? Or the cold water or raindrops is fine?

    My BK Westfall in badalassi cowhide

    I think it softer than FQHH that Aero use. But don't know how it compare to BK's HH. But I think Andy told me that they are about the same (Liberty HH).

    My BK Westfall in badalassi cowhide

    OK, I get the point of long sleeves. Will try the longer one next time. But I still like this one very much. Correct shoulder and chest width is more important to me. I think this jacket perfect in these two.

    My BK Westfall in badalassi cowhide

    Yes, the badalassi cow hide is from Italian. I dont know how about the VHH, but this leather is very comfortable. I was choosing between this and Liberty HH, but the color of badalassi is what I like.

    My BK Westfall in badalassi cowhide

    Yes, I know people will talk about the sleeve length, the asymmetric sleeve is due to the way I stand or I wear it, it is fine now after a bit wear. As I said, I like the sleeve to be a bit shorter.

    My BK Westfall in badalassi cowhide

    The jacket arrived this morning, I must say BK did a great job. The leather is great, the workmanship is very good and I love the hard wear. The jacket is size 36, and I asked BK to shorter and narrow the sleeve, and make the jacket one inch longer, and add a button cuff on this jacket.

    Best MA-1 repro?

    The problem, unlike leather jacket, people always think the nylon/cotton jacket does not worth that much money. £400-500 for a leather jacket sounds reasonable, but for a repro MA-1/B-15 is sounds a bit crazy.

    Thurston Italian Vicenza Horsehide Full Grain Veg.-Tanned Horsehide for Aero Jackets

    Plainsman and Surrogates are on my list as well, I don't think the broad shoulder is a problem, I think BK can customize the jacket to fit your need.

    Thurston Italian Vicenza Horsehide Full Grain Veg.-Tanned Horsehide for Aero Jackets

    I don't think Aero would do any change in their pattern, as last time I emailed them, Holly said they can only change the length of jacket and sleeve. And they normally reply you within 48 hours.
