VERY nice!! That hide is showing some amazing grain in a short amount of time.

Yes, I didn't respect the hide can show the grain so quickly, but it does. And very nice.

Looking good, zhz! I couldn't resist the recent sale, so jumped on the band wagon, hope mine turns out like this one.

 

[schitzo]

nice pics zhz, makes me glad I went with russet for my order.


@Dav, what have you gone for?

 

[Dav]

I've ordered a Dubow 1755 in seal.

 

[schitzo]

I'm not a big A2 guy.. but I think that's the one with the cool shaped collar. It should be good. Perhaps a bit more length than the last one? Seal Liberty HH - which I assume is what you went for - seems like a pretty good choice to me

 

[Dav]

Yes, I added 1" to the length of the Aero I have, so hopefully all should be good and yes, seal liberty.

 

[schitzo]

last one was 26" as I recall and you're 6ft, yes? In which case 26.5-27" is what I'd be going with too, were I you.

I'm 6,1" (I think) and for bombers I like 26.5". I don't know about the Dubow though, i am yet to try one on

 

[Dav]

26.5 is what I ordered, the old one now measures 25.5, I'm sure it was longer but not certain as didn't check when new.
I think 26.5 is as long as I'd go, if it doesn't work, then I guess I'm just not suited to an A2, time will tell!

 

[schitzo]

26.5" is what I was thinking for you Dav! If it doesn't work out, at least it was cheap

@Dav, what have you gone for?

Indeed, I can't tell how much I love this hide, can't wait to see your Westfall.

I think A2 is suppose to be a short jacket?

 

[zhz]

I am 5'5", and my A2 is 23", my westfall is 24, so Dav, 26.5 for your A2 should fine.
But schitzo, I think 25.5 for your Westfall is a bit short.

really? I'm worrying it could be too long!?! That is a full 1.5" onto stock length, which I don't usually exceed. Normally 1 extra inch is enough..

I should really put this onto a westfall thread. Which I will do in a moment

The length totally depends on the pair of pants you are wearing, I guess. Are they high-rise or more modern fit low-rise? To me this makes a big difference.

zhz, I was wondering if you could snap one or two shots of the leather during daylight, maybe outsides. It’s so hard to guess the “true” color of it.

I ordered an Aeronaut in that very hide. My first leather jacket ever. I hope it turns out good and I never have to buy another one again.

I totally like the Victory and Badalassi hide from BK but they are currently out of stock. And I have a wedding coming up for which my fiancé and me both bought leather jackets to wear together, forever.

Sure, I will do it tomorrow. Are you saying you are going to wear leather jacket in your wedding? That is so cool I must say.
And Congratulations!!!!

Much obliged!!
Hehe, no that is not really part of the plan. But wearing it from that day on. I’m not a suit person but I’ll try my best to suit up a little at least...

I posted some detailed photos while ago, the colour in the photo is quite close to the real colour.

ZHZ, what colour are those cuffs, not mid brown I think? If its not too much trouble, can you upload a close-up pic with leather AND knit?

 

[A-1]

zhz, have you taken some daylight pics yet? I have to choose between seal and russet. But I haven’t seen a russet in real life yet.

The knit is mid brown. I did upload a few leather details in page 4 or 5
