The only drawback of Tumble CXL is the hide looks dull compare to non-tumbled one(Bick4 will bring some sheen back), but it is so much softer and grainy than the regular one.
Thanks! I almost forgot that. I remembered using Blackrock on my first lambskin jacket because it was too stiff for me at that time.....Blackrock should fix it too.
If I wanted a CXL again, I would definitely go with tumbled. Nice jacket.
amazing grain
@Mrfrown Your friend will receive a great looking jacket and IMO it looks good on you but if your close friend would appreciate it more than you, it's very kind of you to send it to him!Didn’t wear it today. A little silly but feel like a farewell post is in order…I’m sending my Bates highwayman to a close friend who has long admired it. If it fits he’s keeping it. If it doesn’t I’ll be listing it in classifieds.

I’ve only used blackrock on boots, but I’ve noticed it takes quite a bit of color off..Thanks! I almost forgot that. I remembered using Blackrock on my first lambskin jacket because it was too stiff for me at that time.....

You can actually see the Kona Wind blowing your beard "North" in the last photo!!!My iPhone informed me that I had a package delivered to the front porch this morning at 6:50 AM., on a chilly 60° F. Sunday of all days they bring me a quilted early 50s horsehide Monarch. The sun was out for a couple of hours, and it wasn't raining, so I snapped a few pics, and headed down the hill to get in a good swim.
The wind is from the South, what they call a Kona Wind, and my swim was against the wind and currents, but the sun stayed out just long enough to have some good beach time with my new Monarch.
Nothing fancy, no extra pockets, straps, cinches, half belt, or anything extra. Just some old lovely horsehide put together in a nice pattern with lots of French seams, that fits me nicely. And man check out that 4 inch collar.

@Mrfrown In honouring the departure of your Bates, which I believe fits you perfectly, today I'm wearing mine.
