First day of pre-school for my grand daughter Tenley. She said I looked great in my Roughwear jacket

Thanks…It’s “sateen” fabricLove that! Is it the denim or pique fabric?
Somehow it looks very similar to fivestar (I don't mean it is worse or better)Only wore it for photo today. Brought it out of the storage and getting it ready for coming fall/winter.
Johnson Del-66 with custom Peter's back and Boardracer chest pockets. Heavy Horween Vintage horsehide.

Yes, they do look almost the same from the front. The dimensions are almost exactly the same too. But they feel like two very different jackets when I wear them. The JL is the obvious keeper but the 5Star cost less. The money is in the pattern block.Somehow it looks very similar to fivestar (I don't mean it is worse or better)

Pictures like that are proof that TFL is the greatest piece of social media around.
I love the way natural hides develop. I made a belt 30 years ago from natural butt leather , tried it on recently -too small ! but it still looks awesome. So I made one that fits but doubt I've got 30 years left to see it reach the same level . Now I'm on the lookout for a 38 jacket in natural that I like the look of . Your's is coming along nicely @MrProper
That's the average week take home pay in '59.Sears Fieldmaster steerhide with pile lining. First introduced in the 1959 catalog and shown with an Oakbrook label in the early 60s. These were sold in horsehide and steerhide made by Appalachian Tanned and Tailored. Very boxy fit. I've owned 6 or 7 and have another coming in the mail.
