Liberty horse hide

[Nizzi]

Hello folks,

New here on the forum.

So I was looking for an a2 jacket and the ones that got my attention are the ones from Bill Kelso.
So I was curious about some opinions on the liberty horse hide, and maybe if people have pics of liberty hh with some wear to it.

Seems like they age like fine wine

Liberty HH was touted as a fast wearing formula. The Dodger in the Pictures was bought new by me. It began "wearing" the first day I bought it. That was the intention of the Liberty hide. The hide was also very much the weight of an original WWII A2. The original A2 jackets were not made of heavy thick leather.

Bk was a controversial maker when they came out. There is much old discussion of the company and the Liberty HH in particular on this forum. Do a search

I have no idea about the current Liberty HH from BK.

Would you recommend it?

I have no reason or knowledge to not recommend Liberty. My knowledge is several years old. I have not followed the company in recent years..

Other members here may have more information about the Current Liberty HH.
