thanks @Lebowski for clearing up. The Duke is always a show stopper. There is a Thedi in my size on ebay. It looks to be a very similar style. I have resisted the Thedi because I have the Duke. No, the Duke is not moving to make room. The Thedi does look nice.

You're welcome Terry!)
Yes, that Thedy looks quite similar to your Duke, but to my sight that Thedi's cowhide is a bit less desirable leather than Victory HH. I mean - looks interesting but not as fabulous as Victory HH or as Thedi's veg-tanned buffalo hide at least.
Terry, keep your BK Duke - you look like an action hero/movie star/rock star when wearing it, it's your beast. This Duke looks superb on you, very like it!

That Victory hide looks really good! Pity is so scarcely available...

The Duke is mine. No reason to part with it. Just thought about that Thedi, seems reasonable price.

I have a Goodwear jacket that has the most similar horsehide. It is a custom jacket, I believe it is Shinki. I hesitate because it is not like other shinki jackets I have handled. I've come close to buying a couple of other Victory jackets, they don't come up often and bring good money.

Brilliant Terry. Even the tree branch hangers are a brilliant touch.

Not sure how you can resist that Thedi. Killer jacket at an amazing price.

It was that one or throw down for another bootlegger. It was a tough choice to make. That one is just my size as well. I’m a bit surprised it’s still hanging around.

It has a lot of views but nobody has bought it yet. Well, strict US shipping only - that's probably the reason of such long lasting sale.
P.S. The jacket's cowhide looks not esp. much interesting in comparison with the same Thedi's pattern but made of veg-tanned buffalo which looks much more tempting, esp. in its buttoned version. That's possibly the second reason.
P.P.S. Ton, I'm looking forward for seeing your Bootlegger 3.0 from you, it's going to be the winner!) Have you thought to use Vicenza HH this time? It might be good idea.

Man, the color on this...

No Vic. Tried and true extra heavy CXL steer.

It makes no sense for EU buyers to buy from the US because you then have to add shipping and taxes. That makes buying from Thedi directly cheaper and a better option.

How much the jacket like this particular pattern might cost directly from Thedi?
I haven't found any prices on Thedi's site. Very like this pattern, esp. its buttoned version.

Well, after all this time, Andy had a point regarding the Victory hide. It sure looks nice.
