New Excelled jacket received this week ! (thanks Monitor for his useful advice) View attachment 382033

That's a great one! Fidelity made a perfect cut. Comfortable, well tailored, great details all around. Wore mine all day today.

It's been a couple crazy years, but I've learned, it can be always be worse. So taking a minute to say I'm thankful for a lot. Happy Thanksgiving fellow TFLers

That is so cool! And a textbook example of the great aging possibilities of sheepskin.

Jacket from Tony arrived a few days ago. Being this is the third jacket with Tony , the measurements are pretty much dialed in and the fit is pretty good.

However the blue shinki horsehide I bought and sent to Tony isn’t as nice as I expected. I received 3 pieces of hides. 2 of them are not grainy at all and 1 is very grainy (more similar to the one Greg from field leathers posted on his ig). The smooth hide has a plastic feel to it which I’m not a fan of. Tony had a hard time matching the panels while making the jacket. It smells kind of funny too. Maybe I got a bad batch I am not sure.

The none grainy parts are used as the body. Since receiving the jacket I try to hit the parts lacking grain with water using a spray bottle and leave the grainy part alone. Hopefully with more wear the panels will even out a bit more.

The indoor light makes the leather looks black but it is indeed blue under more natural light.

New custom russet badalassi Wayfarer from Aero just landed - the brother of my black badalassi

version, but this one has no wrist or side straps - the latter replaced with elastication. Shearling lining, brown mouton collar and rayon wool-backed sleeves with storm cuffs - perfect for the current weather!

Well yes this is an extremely special lens. There really aren't that many 135mm F 1.8 lenses out there. The combination of how far the reach is plus the wide aperture creates an incredible combination of compression and bokeh. This lens is my favorite piece of technology I have ever owned.

Mister Freedom Campus Stallion:

My fav is my canon 85mm 1.4 great portrait lens. Awesome jacket btw!

Wow! Beautiful jacket!

Today and yesterday: ELMC B-3 ("Concho") to the office. Fits over a suit jacket and is frankly the only kit acceptable in this dark, gloomy, moist coldness called November.

Not my most elegant or subtle jacket, but I´ve come to appreciate a lot. Plus my secretary loves it...

 

[Motocann]

Very nice!

Nice kit!!

So I think the jacket is great.
Fit is top and at least on the photo the leather looks not bad.
Congratulations
