Today....spent time in the cold chasing around a two year old in the Antique Steer HB from HD. Always thanks HD.
I feel pretty antique myself now.
Be well. Bowen

I like my warm and nice grizzly jacket to walk around the garden on chilly morning.
One and only griz made by John Chapman at Goodwear leather.

I had the Iron Heart + Self Edge Collaboration version, but sold it and regretted it. So I replaced it with a brand new original Iron Heart Japanese Horsehide Rider’s version. Just took it out of the box.

Spectacular, Powerband!
Have been eyeballing this myself for some time now. Worried about sizing, though. Shoulder/p2p-Ratio gives me trouble. Can you perhaps say something about sizing compared to your Aero or else? Many thanks.
There's an impressive range of belts over there Reg!
no label anywhere but a beautiful wool lined European pony hide carcoat

Great photo of my old stomping ground Leither. Many happy nights in the Malt and Hops and The Kings Wark. Is the curry house (can’t remember the name) still there on the corner of the bridge?

Scored yet another Cal Leather crosszip at the flea a few days ago. Didn't pay much, but it needed some repair. Just got it back yesterday. I think I'm going to have to hang on to this one.

Out walking around the Mission district this morning with my mom and my uncle. Perfect weather for the Vanson Commando.

Hey Tom, thanks for the kind words. Sizing is pretty individual, as you’d imagine. The specs for this aren’t too far off from the Aero D-Pocket I just sold, these being just a half-breath larger. Best to go by the specs listed on the IH product page; I purchased the SMALL and the dimensions are quite consistent with those listed on their website.
When I first put the jacket on right out of the box, right there in front of my wife, all I could say was, “Oh man, this thing is perfect, and it feels like a second skin.”
Again, size is individual, but this jacket has been exceptionally easy to wear. And the hand on this chrome-tanned horsehide has become increasingly soft like warm Play-doh, a result of the grains rapidly developing with every touch and movement. I mean, I love pictures of stiff jackets that stand on their own, but there’s nothing quite like a horsehide jacket that drapes and folds itself over your arms, or falls like a thick, hand-woven blanket in your hand.

One of your best, if not best, fitting jackets.
