Hi ton312,

This Brown Cowhide has the same thickness, weight and durability as the Black Comp Weight (Vanson and a couple of other "old skool" companies use this Brown Cowhide on race suits). However, the Brown Cowhide has more grain and a softer feel than the Black Comp Weight...you won't need to break it in as much! We are really excited with how the leather came out and we have more on the way (Model Bs and Model Fs in Brown Cowhide). Stay tuned!
I was going to say, it looks like a broken in comp weight or the stuff they used to put out in the mid 80's. It's very attractive. I like the hidden snaps a bit more too. Is the fit any different? I loved my black one but it was just too tight in the sleeves.

@Carrie @ Thurston Bros. - which jackets have you done in Natural Vicenza so far? I might be getting something for my upcoming anniversary so I'm crossing my fingers...also looking at that battered Black Steer.

We've had quite a few...here are some of our favorites!

The fit is the same, but the Brown Cowhide is softer and will feel more flexible (it will also stretch a little more)! If you felt the sleeves were a little tight on the Z150 Gambler, I think this Brown Gambler would be a good option for you.

We've just received another limited run batch of Dark Brown Cowhide jackets--this new batch is the classic Vanson Model B! We have sizes 38-44 in stock and ready to ship. This leather is a perfect match to the Model B...a soft, grainy, deep brown cowhide paired with the classic slim fit of the Model B! We'll be posting a detailed product page soon...
