With that nice Aero Sunburst two-tone making an appearance on this thread again this past week, and with me liking it more, the more I look at it, I couldn't help but dig up this post from earlier in the thread. Jacket looks awesome, Carrie carries it off very well, either way, a big WIN! Click on the links to view pics. Carrie - is this the same jacket you showed on the previous page?

I am having the hardest time figuring if I want the Vicenza Seal or FQHH Chromexcel Cordovan.... Wish I could get two coats, with one leather of each.

Anyone by chance have a CX FQHH jacket and a Vincenza? Color doesn't matter...just wondering if you prefer one more than the other and reason(s) why. Thanks!

Yes Jordon, I have a couple in Horween (cordovan and cherry) and an A2 in Vicenza. Really difficult to choose: they are not one better over another, they are just different. Horween is heavier, oil-stuffed. Vicenza is drier and thinner. Horween gets vintage pretty quick. Vicenza retains the initial look longer. The touch: difficult to discribe, it's different:) Both are pleasant. The logic could be: for long and warm jackets (alpaca or shearling lined) it's better to choose Vicenza. Otherwise the jacket will weight 3.5-4-4.5 kg. In all the rest, they are both cool and if you can have two, this is the way to go:) You can't go wrong with either one but personal preferences could be different. I can't say I like one most. I like them both.

The Vicenza is considerably less rigid, more pliable, lighter, and easier to wear right out of the box. I would choose the Vicenza over the CX FQHH every day of the week (unless I needed a suit of armor).
