Green Leather Jackets

[Edward]

The first time I went to the shop I took a photo wearing the 617. Let me root about and see if I can find it...

Edit: ah, my mistake. It was their cross zip Lancer jacket. Apologies, terrible photo. But it shows the decent cropped length.

Thanks - looks slightly longer than a Schott, but not that odd, elongated fit so many modern bike jackets are where the waist tabs fall markedly below my actual waist! Hoping to get out to visit them this Summer, though they're a bit of a trek from the train.

Could be a fun trip for a TFL leather jacket get together.

Hello everyone, I hope you've all been well. Today I was on a trucker jacket thread, and I steamrolled the conversation and steered it toward green jackets (and then sheepskin jackets). My apologies to everyone involved. Anyway, it got me thinking about green leather jackets in general. What do you guys and gals think of them, and do you own any? If so, let's see some pics! Below are ones that have caught my attention over the years from Lewis Leathers (sheepskin), Shangri-La (Badalassi steer), and Thedi (goat)

All the best,

Max

Does anyone have an idea of how olive Vicenza looks after a year or two of serious wear? It's an interesting color, but I would need a guarantee that it would darken up over time before pulling the trigger.

Just realised you probably meant it’s a type 1 jacket with Horween leather, not Horween type 1!

That be cause it has extreme pull-up so once they start crafting the jacket all the oils move giving it that ink look
