They are very different hides, not to mention design and history. The A-1 is Capeskin, the Arcadia is Shinki horsehide, and the Cossack is Indian goatskin.^
Really respect the diversity of those three (even if the colors look similar).
I know even my wife would say my top three all look identical (the difference between a cross zip and a CR being completely lost on her).
I believe there are 2... @nick123 has one... the other is out there somewhere...My next impossible find would be a GW Mojave Shinki. Ya never know.

I have been wearing the Herc for almost a month now! I know I promised to post pics when it arrived but I just haven’t gotten around to it. I’m thinking of spending some time tomorrow putting together a thread for this one, I was a little ambivalent when I received it but I like it more and more every time I wear it. In the meantime here’s a couple quick shots.When is the Herc due?
