All you need is an inside button for those roll up cuffs. Period correct too!
Yep the new BK Surrogate has it.

Is that a scarf or is it a poncho tossed off to the side ala Clint Eastwood getting ready to draw his gun in a spaghetti western...They're the least of his problems... that scarf...
Its his unbreakable superhero cape
Impressive, I had no idea any maker was doing the inside button. I also have a suede jackets that has the roll up cuffs. It doesn't show up that often to my knowledge. I wonder if the original surrogate jacket worn my Willis has the roll up cuffs.
Yes it does. BK borrowed an identical Californian from Happy Hooligan and copied all the elements.
Here's the original - BK put a new tartan lining in it. The original lining was a creamy gold, shiny lining (rayon?).

That's the nice leather!Roughly a month and a half has passed... and I can't take this jacket off. I love it. The lightweight horse, the lightweight cotton lining...it's just such an easy jacket to wear.
On some of the Liberty Horse jackets I've looked at it appears the finish rubs off and shows a lighter shade of brown. Mine hasn't done that. The finish definitely scratches off, though, and after lying on the ground doing oil changes and falling off my daughters' mini dirt bikes while racing around with them, the jacket definitely shows some wear. I'm liking it though. I went with the Liberty for it's accelerated wear properties and it hasn't let me down. I haven't done any water treatment, but I was caught in the rain once, and spent another long day in drizzly conditions.

I did wipe off the sand with a damp rag once it dried. However I can see you are not worrying about that.
Alive and kicking! Lemme pull the ol' jacket out and snap some pics. Haven't worn leather once this year to be honest. Been wearing waxed cotton. I'll try to post some updates photos when I get a chance.Is @Tommer45 still around? Can we get an update on how the jacket is going? I'm considering one but it seems to be aging pretty quickly, maybe a bit too quickly?
