Pegasus Leathers Leather Help...

[majormajor]

I'm about 4 weeks into a 6 week wait on that very double breasted luftwaffe jacket. Their black horsehide is apparently a black topcoat over a brown leather so it should hopefully wear in to look somewhat like that original "radjacke" style jacket. I'd also be quite curious if some of the shine wears off. I understand it's not oil pull leather, but I'd also rather not look like I'm wearing a hefty bag. I guess I'll find out in a couple painstakingly long weeks.......

Good luck with that one. Maybe some pics when you get it.

So as promised here some photos of my D-Pocket.

The jacket is just over a year old. This is a light jacket the leather is thin but resistant nonetheless, so it's ideal for spring and summer.

I really like this jacket, the craftsmanship is as good as Aero. The leather is more shiny than other leathers like Aero, ELC or Lost Worlds but not as shiny as a handbag or cordovan shoes.....

I also love the shoulders cut.

The only downside for me is the sleeves, they are a little tight on the biceps so if you have big arms let Kevin knows same for the armholes.

Great pictures! I really like the look of this jacket a lot!

Very nice! Did you go with the standard length or was it made a bit longer?

The jacket is entirely custom size. The length is the one I used for all my custom made jackets, so I can't compare with a standard jacket.

But I think it's slightly longer than it should be. I don't like short jacket and to be cold in my lower back...

I just provided some measurements asked by Kevin, that's all.

I own a cafe jacket from Pegasus in Brown Horsehide. I've had it for several months and love it. It has aged beautifully and people love it. I would recommend Pegasus.
