    Two-tone Goodwear Arcadia Idea

    I've seen very few vintage two-tone, all leather jackets. However, vintage two tone jackets created with two different materials (often horsehide paired with melton wool or corduroy) had very striking color contrasts.

    What is it about horsehide?

    For vintage clothing enthusiasts, horsehide, like heavy drapey gabardine of the 1940s or the rayon used to make aloha shirts of the same era, is not readily available and thus has become symbolic of a bygone era for some.
