If you are very thin (which it sounds like you are) it would be worth asking Carrie about a premier fit (aka STF or Super Tight Fit) version.
This is mine with that pattern.

Just wanted to chime in on the bleeding issue, I loved HD's Bootlegger so much I ordered a Cordovan FQHH. Mine did bleed a bit, I noticed one day after getting out of my car the light tan leather seat had a slight reddish cast. The bootlegger is an awesome jacket hope you get one.
I love that jacket. I'm ordering the same hide, but different jacket. Is there any bleeding issues or anything with that leather? Thx,
OK ProteinNerd, I'm sure you did a ton of research into the standard Bootlegger vs. the slim Bootlegger. What are the differences? I'm 6' and 70kg, but have really wide shoulders and a narrow waist. Any advice? And I'm leaning toward the black FQHH.
Thank you ProteinNerd and Edward. I spoke with Carrie at Thurston Bros and she recommended the Vicenza leather. I was leaning toward FQHH, but does anyone have any advice? Vicenza vs FQHH. Thanks!
Vincenza is a great balance of substantial / supple / gorgeous leather. Hard to go wrong with it.
Hi There, HD. I'm looking at purchasing a Bootlegger through Thurston Bros. in Seattle. I'm thinking about ordering one in Black FQHH. I'm wondering what size you are wearing in the photos. I am 6' tall and 155lbs, wiry and lean. I really like the way your jacket looks in the photos and want a similar fit. And since it's been about four years since you posted this jacket, I'm wondering if you have photos of the jacket broken in. Could you post some for me? And do you have any photos of Aero jackets in Black FQHH? I would love to see those as well, if you have any. Thanks so much!
