Alpaca? Certainly wool. I had a PB N1 before and sold it b/c the liner was so itchy. This one feels so much softer. It’s weird a superb. I snagged Aero’s last M (PB was sold out) so added bonus…it smells like CXL.

Such a good jacket, did you get rid of the comet?

I did. Got tired of the long sleeves but still kinda miss it…but don’t think I’d wear it much now that the Timberline is here. Maybe when layering? In any case the Comet is gone.

Sorry to hear this. Such a great jacket.

My HH Comet is tough to beat.

Schott carcoat. Love this thing.

Leather weather is slowly approaching on the peninsula. Ready to stretch the legs of the Perfecto and see what she does.

I never noticed the sleeves were too long on yours but I don't blame you. I love mine, and luckily it fits really well.

Holler @Me if you ever want to part with that one! Though I certainly wouldn't if I were you.

For me, sleeve length off the rack is always too long. Just a matter of how much. With the Comet they were long enough to cause wrist fatigue after wearing for a few hours. Sounds funny putting it into words, but true. I've considered getting one made with shorter sleeves, perhaps a special order from Thurston in an interesting hide.

Wow, fair enough! I've got the opposite problem, long gorilla arms... And same, the most recent hide options(olympia organica!) from thurston are looking really good.

Today (And this week really) I wore the Johnson Barneveld Remix but I took some photos of the Shinki Rainbow Hercules for breakfast.

It's interesting how they made an hour-glass shape without the help of the cinches (which are placed lower). This isn't true to the original, but it makes for a great looking fit!

I think it is true to the original, at least from this catalog shot:

This is why I'm glad my modofied Aero Herc has the belts placed at the false belt...Aero's pattern doesn't have that shape baked in. I've never handled an original, so I can't say for sure.
