Yes, grainier than FQHH, to my eye, but not as grainy as Bison.... Steer seems likely. The marbling variation in the colour is outstanding. Works really well on a jacket with such simple lines that jut let the hide do the talking for itself.

Definitely Steer, it's confirmed on the Thurston website and at one point that pic was emailed to me as an example of brown Steer. I can't imagine a better promotional shot for that leather. As Edward notes above, it's really showcased in a simple design where your eyes are drawn to the texture and color rather to other jacket details.

Brown steer? Sure looks like cordovan in the photo and me likey too!

No, that's definitely the brown, if you compare it to the Cordovan on the previous page you can see how less red it is. (and the darker areas are not as dark as on the Cordovan jacket)

I'm no photo expert, but it looks awfully bleached out - maybe too much flash? Maybe that is why it looks much different than traditional brown?

That's an incredible looking hide - what is it?

Hi Edward,

The others were correct...this is CXL Brown Steerhide...it's quite nice!

Looks gorgeous! Seems like the more complicated, double rider-styled jackets are coming through now... Is my J106 gonna be up next?

I didn't know tumbled HH is this shiny...

Hi Mendel,

For each given production month, the J106s are some of the last to come through because fewer of Aero's machinists make the J106s...however, your jacket should be through soon....

I think the flash made it look a tad more shiny than it actually is....

You actually got this jacket?! I am so jealous! The style is spectacular!! Kind of reminds me of the Vanson Daredevil... That one's going on the list any name for this new Aero style yet?

Yes, just bought it, arrives tomorrow. Green OD stitching clinched it for me, green plaid lining... I've heard a rumor about a name but I'm sure Carrie will reveal it when they are ready. And yes, very similar to the Daredevil in design.
