So here's a Catch & Release, tried it out but it is just too large for me. Bought off FL, for sale here again. Aero Highwayman in tag size of 46, with cotton twill lining in a plaid pattern. In Oil Pull Brown Cow-Hide, as per tag. Nice middle to heavy weight hide, not yet broken in. Has a few scrapes and scratches as photos show. This jacket has storm cuffs in the sleeves. No interior pockets. Tag indicates this is a "Trainee made" jacket.
Please note that the color is difficult to capture, photos seem to show reddish tint to the leather, there really isn't red in this hide.
Asking just what I paid for it: $350.00 boxed, shipped and insured in the CONUS. Canada, Alaska and HI $25.00 more for shipping. Pay-Pal only.
Fit details in Inches, Boxy Size 46 as per tag:
Shoulders: 21"
Back Length: 26"
Pit to Pit: 26.5"
Waist (adjustable 1-2") 23.5"
Sleeve Straight down: 25"
Sleeve Around arm: 26.25"
Purchased from original owner. No odors/stains/damages. Has not broken in yet. Non-smoking owner(s). Excellent condition.
So you ask, what is Oil Pull Leather? Well here's some info for you:
Pull Up leather is a type of aniline leather that is coloured with aniline dyes that are sealed using natural oils and/or waxes instead of paints, pigments and top coats. They end up having a coloured wax or oil finish on the top. Pull-Up leather is therefore also called as waxed leather or oiled leather. They are mainly used for making shoes and bags but they have also been used for making furniture.
Pull-Up leather has a sanded surface underneath the finish. However, on some Pull Up leather, the natural grain remains undamaged. The grain structure can be fine or coarse with either a gloss or a matt finish. The main characteristic of these leather types is they develop patina very quickly. Pull Up leather also have a lighter colour when they are stretched or when they get scratched. Source: https://www.colourlock.com/tip/furniture/pullup-waxed-oiled.html
The first picture here shows the color the best to my eyes:
Note high amount of variation to the oil pull leather.
