Was the DD jacket you saw Shinki or one his other leathers? I'm just curious because I haven't heard of anyone but me having a Shinki one from him. I know he has used other cool leathers such as Horween's Vermont Espresso.

I'd leave it to Justhandguns to answer.;)

Umm....... ok, just got in touch with Dave........ (and he's been watching), FYI, my black J-100 is made with Horween "Mustang".

This time I am borrowing Tony Stark's head......

Yes, I've been watching "Ray" (not my size). That Buco has been up there for a while, and sinking in price too! I'm wondering if Ray could be covered...or maybe that's part of the jacket's charm?

Wow, that fits amazing! Looks gorgeous. Do you have any info on the Mustang hide?

I have tried searching for Horween Mustang but came up with very little information. I only know that John is also using it with certain of his A-2s as well, in seal. With my DD J-100, the hide is very supple, yet showing beautiful patterns with characters. I can post some close up pics later on.

Interesting. I wish there was more information about some of Horween's lesser known hides. Either way, yours looks fantastic and I would love to see new pics.

And your appearance does look quite Stark;)

Haha, I wish, although I do have a little bit of beard under my chin. I tried going through the Horween website and couldn't find any information neither.
