That's the overdye supposed to be, my Johnson leather overdye cowhide still looks black/grey after several year and they call it "overdye"(it's basically a regular chromexcel black cowhide with natural flesh side), amazing.

Hi y'all, just wanted to drop by and drop some images of the grain developing on my Real McCoy's shinki fqhh jacket; I feel like there isn't many photos of worn(ish) shinki horsehide in the wild and I just wanted to contribute some images for referencing.

I was thinking whether I should do a full write up of this jacket too, so let me know if anyone wants to see more of it/info on it. (The zipper got a little wavy after I got caught in a downpour in the jacket one day... something I just have to live with I guess)

So I don't really know anything about what constitutes good grain, (or really what counts as grain in the first place) but my Vanson model B has started getting pretty gnarly. I don't know if this is a transitory state or what, but regardless of how it looks, it's a great jacket and I like it more every time I wear it.

Great jacket, just the right amount of brown peeking through. The zipper wouldn’t bother me in the least

Nice subtle grain (texture) and patina (the dark spots) on this 40/50 year old goatskin western shirt.

The thinner skins tends to be a bit more scrotum:

And there is always a few bald spots

More Black CXL

@roadking04 Yours will have more splatter bugs. The CXL (or JL calls overdye) will age beautifully. I have not oil this thing once. Nothing. Still shines. The scratches will turn into grains. Soft browns will peak through only at high wear spots but still shiny and blends well with the black. At some point down the road I will send this down to JL to get a new leather collar installed, big wide CXL overdye collar.

Looks great Panda. Thanks for the bill of confidence. I think I will give out way before my CXL will. lol.
