OP, you will not know for sure if you really prefer buffalo hide until you have actually experienced one. As you had intended to do this very thing, I would council you to follow through with your original intent and return the cowhide for the buffalo. If you don't, you will always wonder...

You need this jacket (heck, I need this jacket). You're welcome!

I shoot Glocks well and like them, just not enough to actually ever carry them on duty (and I've been fortunate in that I've never had to). Duty carry is why they make Kimber 1911s (.45 acp) and SIG Sauer P228s (9mm). I used the SIG to gain the Top Gun Shooter award for my class while attending...

Perhaps you could just take up hunting. I've seen several people attempt to remove or camouflage stitching holes and it really never worked very well.

I guess I'm lucky that the Model B style fits me well. I've had no problems, other than the usual stiff-as-all-git-out leather that needs breaking in. I do think a Thedi shawl collar would be a great jacket to have, though. Good luck!

In my experience, people who have jackets that are a bit on the large side will complain about having a bit of bagginess. People who own jackets that are a bit too small end up not wearing them.....at all. While I don't think you appear to have any "too small issues" by a mile, I think it looks...

It looks fine to me and I would keep it, especially so if it will work well with the sidearm choice. The old "she sent me a different model fit jacket, but one that has the same kind of fit" is how Thurston sold me two jackets: the fit jacket, which my wife insisted I keep (well, gee honey...

I have a fringed leather jacket but only wear it for some of the Cowboy Action shooting competitions, when I'm doing the Wild Bill Hickok thing. The rest of the time I'm post Civil War lawman. The fringe jacket works pretty well with an 1865 era Mexican twin-loop cross-draw rig, featuring a 3...

I had the blue-and-white jacket on order for quite some time but it never shipped. I would so rock that style......

Everything is all fun and games 'til a tornado rips half your house off the foundation. Sorry about your car, and your neighbors tree. I'm sure it must have been majestic.

Can't seem to see the images. I get the "please update your Photobucket account" squares, which I believe is aimed at the OP. Anyone know what I can do to be able to view them?

I purchased a new H-D jacket sometime around 2010 that has all brass zippers. It was out of production and on a sale rack. I've been unable to find it in any catalog, but it is one of the better-made H-D jackets I've ever encountered. I have no idea who the vendor for this jacket is, but they...

Guys, I'm overwhelmed by all these good suggestions, really. Gonna have to figure out a way to extend my stay. Fanch, do you think we'll be okay in this strange land, we only speak Okie, ya' know..... Nick, my wife says she has been to your uncle's place!!, being a hotdog-on-a-stick kind of a...

Mike, the OPH sounds right up my alley (so to speak). thanks!!

Sir, step away from the keyboard and keep your hands visible.......
