Surprise surprise

This is made with our new maltese goatskin which is a match to original leathers in color and weight. This leather is also soft and pliable like the originals. It features the medium brown mouton.


Also, please take a look at our Aeronaut in capeskin. This jacket is really something (The lady will be impressed). Don't miss it.

and another fine example

Andy, is this Dark Seal Badalassi? The RW jacket before this was posted as such, but this was included in the next post and I was wondering if it was the same jacket?

This is Victory horse seal from the second batch, smooth hides selection.

For clarity's sake, I would like to repeat that the Victory horsehide is soft and pliable from day one, so it will not take long to break in. Less than a week of daily wear is enough.

The Victory horsehide is 100% natural hide and will maintain all its natural characteristics.

Andy, you are making it very hard for me to wait quietly!
I might have to start sending you a daily "is my jacket ready yet? " mail...

Starting to attract cobwebs...apropos for the time of year.

Patience.
One thing learned.....pay little head to manufacturers estimates for delivery times....or some companies use of them as "negative advertising" against other makers.

Since placing my Bk A2 "order" the end of last year I've received 2 Good Wears, a NorShor "Cossack", an Aero "Speedway" and a used Bucco by "Diamond Dave" (Such a great jacket I ordered it's twin in different leather last week.)
All worth their respective waits. No "anxious buyers" remorse.
In the end what matters is not a few months here or there, but the final quality of the product.
