    vicenza horsehide or badalassi cowhide?

    He has better close ups on the aero badalassi thread, and plenty of other great examples on there. However besides the rolls you can see dramatic color shift . Out of the box the grain is also quite pronounced...doesn't need to be worn a ton to "pop"

    vicenza horsehide or badalassi cowhide?

    Honestly worse than blind if you cannot see the changes in the first pic and the following. Also, I said badalassi ages beautifully. Said nothing about my jacket in particular. You are welcome to see mine but I have not had much of a chance to wear mine in a year and a half, so does not have...

    vicenza horsehide or badalassi cowhide?

    That's the hilarious thing. If you know much about leather you would know that badalassi is pretty highly regarded in terms of vachetta....while vicenza is just a brand name and is actually as you described badalassi at first...made for feeling comfy out of the box for those that couldn't handle...

    vicenza horsehide or badalassi cowhide?

    Coming right up. Before:

    vicenza horsehide or badalassi cowhide?

    That is completely incorrect. Badalassi is a a much nicer veg tan than Vicenza, and ages beautifully.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    What do you guys think about this one? LW suburban with shearling lining, my third pickup. Being from Chicago area, I wanted something I could wear in a little bit cooler weather and this fits the bill. What do you guys think on fitment? Personally I think about .5-1 inch longer in the front...

    CX FQHH or CX Steerhide?

    Back to the original question, this is a great article from Nick Horween which actually shows quite a significant difference in grain pattern comparing steer to horse, and it discusses jackets and Aero in particular. However, I think most of the horsehide and steerhide we have in jackets is...

    vicenza horsehide or badalassi cowhide?

    Definitely badalassi. Greater depth of color and grain to me. I was going to do russet vicenza based on feel, but the badalassi looked so much more vibrant, and the jacket does feel nice. This is a nice close up of my russet. Squeak is down quite a lot too after a few months of light wear. Also...

    Would Someone Please Post Photos of Horween LUX HH in Dark Brown?

    Very nice, love the look of gregs stuff, just a tad more than I am looking to spend atm, but maybe in the future. Would love some shinki

    Shame, hope they are fixing it up for you and hopefully I won't run into that issue. I think I got my measurements down so we'll see

    Would Someone Please Post Photos of Horween LUX HH in Dark Brown?

    Good to know, then maybe I won't need to go as soft as milan or deer in the first place. Not sure if you wear it in pretty cold weather, but I'm also guessing it stiffens up quite a bit less than cxl in the cold too as it doesn't feel as waxy? Man, still wish they included a deerskin sample. Now...

    Would Someone Please Post Photos of Horween LUX HH in Dark Brown?

    That does look fantastic....I do like the medium browns while the metro is a tad darker. Nice and supple? Especially compared to CXL? (even though my CXL is reasonably soft). Maybe it will be a good choice for me, a bit sturdier and nicer color than metro but a bit softer than cxl is what I am...

    Would Someone Please Post Photos of Horween LUX HH in Dark Brown?

    Interesting. Yeah it's very hard with the samples. I remember my badalassi sample feeling a little plasticky but was very nice when made into a jacket. I do have a used CXL halfbelt and have had experience with CXL in the past. Maybe I won't toss out milan out just from the sample yet, but I do...

    Would Someone Please Post Photos of Horween LUX HH in Dark Brown?

    Just got some samples in for a build I am working on. I'm planning on going with something more midweight, soft, and with quilted lining for colder weather. Really like the metro sample I have, looks to be about 1.1mm. I have the milan and lux here too, I like some of the color options better...

    Leather choices ...

    Looks like they don't have anything in cordovan/burgundy huh? Would also like the option of a warmer lining. They show a quilt lining on their site but it's not on the drop down menu for some reason.

    Leather jacket suggestions for those that don't ride

    Is the midweight steer cxl? Not a huge fan of the battered personally

    Leather jacket suggestions for those that don't ride

    People love the CXL steerhide, however aero marks it as "heavy" steerhide. Wonder how it compares to the horse in regards to weight. My next go around might be something in cordovan steer.

    Leather jacket suggestions for those that don't ride

    I got an aero from Carrie at Thurston, highly recommended for the try on process. For leathers, vicenza or goat would probably be best if you want mid weight. You can take a look at their stock, see some examples you like and ask for swatches with the try on jacket. Badalassi is also an option...

    Starting to just get a little bit of break in, still a lot of work to be done!
