I am going from regular levi's to the heavyweight denim, kinda like someone used to mall jackets and getting a LW J-24. No inbetween or warm up. lol.

What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

My new Hudson jacket has arrived today and it is a thing of beauty!
I had never actually seen one other than in pictures on the Aero website, so it has been a interesting wait to see how it turned out. I have taken a couple of pictures which are below and I'll get some fit pictures sorted. It is certainly the best fitting jacket I have. It is tumbled cordovan with a black mouton. I switched the lining to a blue quilted lining as I don't get on well with alpaca. I also had to add a bit to the arms and body which has tuned out to be exactly right. Its not meant to be massively fitted and I wanted something I could put a jumper on underneath but not look silly if just worn with a shirt etc...
Quick pictures, makes it look brown, its not... its very deep cordovan...!

The jeans I bought them after @Dinerman recommendation after seeing him wear them on his Facebook page. They are more blue in real life.
Old Stock from a production movie made by ""Walton & Taylor Mercantile" and I got the non selvedge raw denim because those were the only available in my size. Real high waisted! 1870s reproduction.

@Bfd70, here you go brother:
I have been wearing this jacket to work almost daily since it arrived. The super soft horsehide and the looser fit just make it so damn comfortable to wear everywhere.
HOTDAMN that's gorgeous!
Thanks, buddy. I’m digging it!

@Boyo
Is that really the heavy weight CXL FQHH or another CXL?
Because Holly said, the Type III isn't available in heavy weight leather. Now I'm confused
Thx
I posted pictures of my new Hudson when it arrived, I have taken a couple to show the fit... These show exactly why I never post any pictures of jackets, I can't take pictures!
As I said I had never really seen any pictures of the jacket being worn. I am really pleased, its what I wanted - something that can be worn most days and that I can layer underneath if its cold or just wear as is. Having a bit more space in it is really nice! I added length to both the body and the arms to suit me. Also, its difficult to get a picture that shows the actual colour of the leather, in artificial light it looks browner, the picture of the collar shows what it is really like!
