Does wearing it around the house counts? It’s waaaaay to cold here right now to wear it outside. But I’m wearing it every minute I’m home, spraying water on it, getting it to show more creases and grain and moulding it to me.
Don’t mind the ripped and patched jeans. I just wanted to check the fit on pants that aren’t as insanely high rise as my Wrangler jeans.

5* clearly skived the edges (and there's nothing wrong with that)If the edges is skived then it doesnt matter how thick the panel is, they can sew the same way using the same machine they sew thinner hide. If the seams seems flat then it is skived along the edge i suppose
Yes, 5star told me it is impossible to not skive the edges because my leather is so thick, but they did not skive the leather panel.5* clearly skived the edges (and there's nothing wrong with that)

Greg Field recently told me that one of his former Aero colleagues proposed to skive the edges but that Ken was against it, because skiving is not period accurate. Because of that, I guess Aero has imposed limitations on themselves as to the thickness of the hides they can work with.

Christmas came very early this year
Not one but two ELMC Californians were delivered today.
Both are second hand. The black one is unworn and the American Walnut is in gently worn condition, I would rate it 98/100.
Both are slightly heavier than the one I sold a year ago. I guess the one I sold was made from a thinner batch of hh because it was 1.8 kg. These are both approximately 2.5 kg.
The one I sold (left) was almost seal brown and featured tan contrast stitching. The new American Walnut (right) looks more like chocolate brown and features brown stitching.

I've searched all over the internet to find this one. Took me over a year. During my search I never came across a 36.Always loved that jacket, especially the collar! They both look awesome. Can't wait to see fit pics.
I think the smallest size they make is 36. I would have tried one but I've never seen a 36.

I could have bought one new from Eastman of course but although it's a great jacket, I feel £1200 is a bit steep. Especially when you know they were selling these for £800 not too long ago.
Perfect fit!View attachment 300303 Received my new jacket from
Knakorn Piulueangsawat via the classifieds.
Chuffed to bits with it, really nice guy too, highly recommended future trades/purchases...
