Great fit.

Great fit.

Thanks, I guess I was lucky, this is actually my first ever A-2.

 

[Bfd70]

Then indeed you were. Lots of contracts and all fit a bit differently.

I’ve always thought to of Excelled jackets as somewhat lesser quality, mass produced pieces. I gotta say, this HH proto-HWM makes me feel otherwise. Thick, thick horse, heavily painted finish and a really cool liner. More than anything else, these just have a cool fit.

Wow, that's how A-2 should fit!

Owning a repro of the same contract, I can tell that's especially tricky one to nail the fit of. Congrats!

A lot of wear went into that jacket to make it look as good as it does!

This Californian Steerhide is the perfect jacket for early mornings on cloudy days here. It is quite light weight, yet really drapes well and has a solid hand. I am finding that nothing beats the feel and texture of a true vintage jacket.

Really glad I stuck with this one. Conditioned it with some Venetian Shoe Cream leather balm yesterday. Brought back some shine and gave it some depth.

I recall my positive comments on the Fit of my Excelled. Long gone. Those pants don't fit and the shirt is near worn out.

I remember yours Terry! They don’t pop up very often, and when they do, more often than not, they are blown apart. I’d love to find one one in black. Love the fit. Broad shoulders, fairly trim through the body, with a nice curvature to the sleeves. Easy to move in. Just a good pattern.

My Bravestar Badlands jacket in black teacore arrived Friday.

I tried it on for the first time last night and wore it on the couch for a couple of hours. It’s amazing how quick the creases have formed. Great smell to the cowhide, buttery soft. . I’m pleasantly surprised at how much I like the leather and cut. I sized down to a medium as my first Bravestar jacket was a denim Type 3 in large which I ended up selling as it was just too big and long, so the medium has worked beautifully.

It’s a t-shirt only fit for now at least, but a very comfortable, near perfect fit for the chest and shoulders, and the length isn’t too long, which is always my fear on truckers.

No shots wearing it yet, but just look how good it looks already. Again, this is only maybe 2 hours of sitting on my couch. The buttons are definitely TOUGH to start though. They are slowly getting better, but boy do they hurt your fingers right now trying to get them buttoned. Unbuttoning is much easier now though.

Is this Sheene (modified Cafe racer) or modified zip sleeve Hwyman? Thanks!

oh man, I wish you didn't post this. I've been eyeing these. Leather quality, what would you put it up against? The pics I've seen of this aging is very FCL/Y2 esqe at a very good price.

Yes, Sheene via Thurston Bros. I think they add some body length and sleeve length to the "usual" Aero version.
