Great jacket, with an excellent fit. I worked with Alan to modify a goatskin M200-L. Johnson leather nailed my requests exactly, as in the jacket they sold me had the specific modifications and other elements exactly as I had asked. I was very impressed.

That's a fascinating piece of historical information. I'm consistently amazed at the depth of knowledge of the folks on TFL. Knowing that it was a Canadian police garment makes the jacket even more interesting to me, and now I really do like the front pocket knowing that it was purpose built...

It has room for layering. I worked through Thurston Bros. to have it made for me. I'm 5'10 and around 170lbs.

Here are a couple of photos for a better look at the color of the Aero brown chromexcel FQHH and a price reduction $620, including shipping in the CONUS.

This is Aero's chromexcel front quarter horse hide and it weighs in at a bit more than 7 lbs. so it's heavy and durable for sure.
