And it's not even Christmas. I love the mouton. Very cool!I guess sometimes UPS just randomly delivers you a leather jacket. I can go with that. Dunno what to say, @Carlos840 !
Schott CHP.

@Monitor that belt on the CHP could be a weapon! Nice jacket and a superbly nice gesture by @Carlos840.
Finally I received the Engelbert Vanek black horsehide jacket - leather quality is much better than expected (very soft touch and supple and heaviness in between FQHH CXL and Freewheelers Shinki HH I would say but I'm not sure if it is chrome tanned or veg tanned but I bet it is chrome tanned), construction is very good, craftmanship is as good as Aero I would say (or better depending on who is making the jacket at Aero), lining quality feels quite good and is thicker compared to Aero standard lining. The fit of the jacket is perfect IMO (I'm wearing a long-sleeved shirt). The only "issue" is the length of the jacket as I usually prefer it longer but I guess it isn't too short (historical patterns were so short). I'm still thinking whether to keep it or let it go...tough decision.
P.S. I should have worn a black belt but forgot it for first fit pics.

Trying out the old Sears Hercules finally at work. With Covid and limited opportunities this is actually my first time wearing it anywhere, as it just feels too dressy for wearing to the playground or for a walk in the woods.
