It is actually very pliable and "soft" compare to my russet brown(15oz cotton duck lining) test.
Stu makes a mean ass jacket. The quality is literally second to none. Man I have a pj-27 in my wishlist. Was hoping he'd pop off a summer sale in July but no dice. Can we all just agree to abstain for a bit so this brother can get an order in?
Really well done @Hammerklavier, rekindled my desire to get back in a LW for sure. As @ProteinNerd said you've got the break in cut out for you but what a jacket to do it in!
Keep the progress posted in that jacket o' the day thread!Thanks.
I think my HH jacket journey is pretty much done. I have suburban and us authentic a2 for fall and Spring, j23 and test for harsh winter. I'd like to wear them as much as possible, as they deserved.
If they offered lighter hide I would be all over that given the price.
I've seen a lot of pictures jackets on the forum I have to say whenever LW is posted, the construction and finish is always impeccable just by the eye test, it's really up there with the Japanese brands. If they offered lighter hide I would be all over that given the price.
They do offer a lighter hide now, they have 3 oz horsehide.
It's just a different animal all together. Once you crest the 3oz mark...that said, as much as I love my heavy ass jackets, tonight I put on my vintage Bates and it felt like a dream. There's a time and place for the myriad of weights, that's for sure. Wouldn't call veg tanned jackets fashion only tho (whatever that is). As much as I prefer the dreadnaughts (LOL). Those lighter hides are good too.He really doesn't care for those who likes "delicate, beautiful" veg tanned, light weight leather, he call it "fashion jacket" and I coudn't agree more. He only sell his jacket for people who appreciate his jacket, that's it.
is the j23 sized the same as the j24?
The j24 is a j23 that was made special for a member of Spinal Tap. It's one higher.Yeah it's the same jacket essentially
