I will be sure to post some picture of my new jacket when it arrives. I will post some of my favorite heavy cossack jacket as well. Its kept me warm through some rough trips.

This is no longer my jacket, I gave it to a member of this forum.
I have worn it from new until it got this patina tho.....maaaaany years..it was black when I got it.
Brown leather jackets - especially something like the front-quarter horsehide used by Aero - seem to develop a great patina fairly quickly, after a couple of years say and there are some great examples, both vintage and newer here. However, a hard worn black leather jacket - something thats taken many, many years to really show its character - I find very rewarding, like Griff's example above.

Nice finish, I like the way it wrinkles around the arms. What kind of hide is this?Originally Posted by 58panheadfan

The Himel Bros A1 is looking killer! Such a smart design, and extra sharp in dark seal. A real keeper!
