Is there too much grain on my new jacket?

[dotflannel]

Hi all,

I just got in my new custom Aero! I noticed my jacket has a lot of grain. That's completely fine with me, and expected. But on some areas of the jacket, the grain is pretty raised up (not sure how else to phrase that). The aesthetics I'm totally fine with. I just don't know if this is "too much" and would crack too soon. I'd be happy to know it isn't! Thank you in advance for any help!

Looks perfectly normal to me. Nothing I see there is a leather crack waiting to happen. Just uncorrected hide with its usual irregularities.

Is that steerhide?

I think this hide shows tremendous grain potential once it gets a little wet...

Typical grain of Chromexcel steer. Has a more pronounced / looser grain than horse.

I think it looks good

Cracking and grain are two different things. The grain is on the surface, cracking deals with stiffness and flexibility (or lack thereof). Perfectly smooth cheap leather is that way because they sand it to remove the grain.

Never too much grain. Looks beautiful.

Looks great. Pretty hard to avoid that. Seems they usually use those cuts for higher creased areas like sleeves. Last 4/5 aeros I had made I requested “extra grainy.” Like this jacket:

That's going to look awesome in six months, and then continue to be awesome.

Looks great. Please post pics of the whole jacket.
