From my experience, I quite like the Liberty. Its not heavy, easy to wear and full of characters.

That is a "scientifically" engineered, "patented", "trade secret."
I have an Aeronaut A1 made using their new seal Liberty. And I'll just come out and say it: I wasn't thrilled with the hide right out of the box. The leather had an incredibly soft hand to it, and I thought the color was frankly boring. It just doesn't seem to have the color depth or leather density (at least by hand feel) I was hoping for.
Fast forward about a month, and my critical critism has largely been tamed. The hide has significantly come to life with grain and character. Hoping for continued positive evolution in the hide. The story continues....

I have one of BK's jackets in Russet Liberty HH. Personally I love it. Very different from my Aero brown FQHH but no less beautiful (in my eyes). It is mid weight, grainy in areas and smooth in others. The colour variation is an aspect I particularly like, ranging from darker shiny brown through to a duller matt like orange. I have only had it a few months and it is already developing lots of patina. Now looking forward to getting my BK A1 in seal brown Capeskin 
I think it's a very interesting read. And I also think it's important to consider the overall appearance of a brand when buying from it. I personally always had a good conversation with Andy though the company sometimes comes of a little bit strange in self-advertisement. Too aggressive and just too absolute in some aspects. To me they could very much let their products speak for themselves. I think they're very different from the other makers and their Liberty HH in russet is great!
Very good weight, still stiff and loads of character!!
Can't speak for their black and seal though. I however choose the russet as I personally found the current seal too 'normal' judging only from photos.

Hmm. After reading that I'm seriously considering using a wallet instead of a handbag......didn't carrie Bradshaw have a BK handbag?
