Is it not the case that Liberty and Vicenza HH are the same thing, from the same place?
In which case, assuming they are then the most discernible difference for us lot - the consumer - is price. Specifically, a BK jacket is cheaper i think
I am informed that Liberty HH comes from the xxxxxxxxx tannery, and Vincenza comes from a different Italian tannery. I am also informed that Eastman's Warhouse also comes from xxxxxxxxxx.
The foregoing is pure hearsay and I could be mistaken.
Please also keep in mind that all of these tanneries offer multiple different hides and, moreover, will customize hides according to buyer specifications. Therefore, even if two jacket manufacturers purchase from the same tannery, they may purchase different hides, and they may provide different specifications.
Regarding cost, I think BK's jackets cost approximately 740 pounds, which converts to $1,190 USD. Insurrection's Vincenza jackets are $1,300. Therefore, BK's jackets are less.
Lastly, I do not agree that cost is the "most discernible difference." Rather, I believe there is also a discernible difference in the workmanship (I have never handled a BK jacket but, according to the photos I have seen, the workmanship is first rate).
