That would be wicked, I'm tucked away across the pond (Irish Sea) but I'd definitely get a flight over for a couple days, would give me a chance to stop with my brother while I'm over there.
stopping around the stores you mentioned above - and a nice pub or two, with you gents, would be a treat!
Bautiful jacket man, got the sizing just right.
This latest house A-2 from McCoy's might just be my favourite, it's very close in cut to one of the original Rough Wear contracts from what I've gathered. Look forward to getting my hands on one in the next year or two.
Amen Canuck, as promised, I will post an evo comparison of my Freeman later in the year, early summer time maybe. The hide is like no leather I've handled or felt before, magical. Thick like cowhide but it already has this patina glow, sometimes looks charcoal in natural light rather than black...

Appreciate the wisdom as always, Canuck. I have a new J-24 high on my target list, for this very reason - it seems the pigment dye shinki apply and more generally their entire method, dyes the entire top layer of the hide - so it ages just like the vintage steerhide Buco's I have seen, which...
Happy to echo that, I own two pairs of Alden boots at this point, a more rugged Indy on a lug sole and a cap toe on the Grant last, both Horween chamois (the former rough out, the latter smooth). Construction is perfect. Thinking of a black Cordovan cap toe next, Grant last again. Really nice...
