We need to see more of this jacket!

We need to see more of this jacket!

I posted two in the “what jacket wearing” thread. I need to post more. It’s killer and the hide is really cool. Reminds me of the Windward I sent you a couple/few years ago. That type of grain and feel.

After 3 years of beating the heck out of this Vanson Model B, I think I finally got some grain going.

Belstaff racing blue color, I don't know what leather is used, any idea?

Aero Leather REALLY knocked it out-of-the-park with the goat used for this ANJ-3 IMO... Graining-up nicely over the 5 years or so I've owned it. Purchased 2nd hand, it was in like-new condition, and I actually subjected it to repeated beatings with a wooden dowel to help with loosening it up some at first....

I've been fortunate to have owned 3 Goodwear A-2's made from JC's popular Indian goat in the past... The goat used for this Aero is certainly comparable IMO...

EDIT: Here's another showing both the grain, and the color better represented:

Rivett's. Still trying to work out how I started with being uninterested in both crosszips and black leather jackets in general to having a growing closet of black crosszips.......
