The olive horsehide is perfect for cloudy day.

 

[navetsea]

are those pleats on the sleeve done from the alteration or always been there from the start?

Clayton is my new favorite horsehide! (At least for a while it is). Best way to describe it is to say that in terms of look and feel it sits somewhere between Aero’s Vicenza and Horween FQHH. Its stiffer and thicker and than Vicenza, it has the shiny finish of the CXL FQHH, but its more pliable and lighter than it and brakes in easier. Great hide all in all!

How does Clayton perform in the rain, relative to both Horween FQHH & Vicenza? Do you know what tannery provides it? Thanks!

It was like that. Same as my black roadhouse.

I'd say better than Vicenza but worse than CXL FQHH. It's veg tanned so in comparison to chrome tanned leather it's always going to be less water proof. I believe the tannery is called Clayton of Chesterfield or Clayton Leather.

This is cordovan Clayton in a icy summer rainstorm (we get those in Norway) the water just beads.

I was watching "East of Eden" recently and saw several examples of that hat. Around WWI?

RRL indeed, from a few years ago but just snagged it NWT off eBay.

Edit: found the original ad link.

I try not to put a definitive date on hats Bob. Soon as you do out come the brainiacs to show off. But, no way WW1 on this one. 40’s is pretty accurate, maybe late 30’s?? For early 1900’s, this style, you are prob looking at Stetson Boss Raw Edge type hats. There is a thread for those.

Ps: just to keep on point, wearing this.
Guess it could be called a Proto-Ton.
Be well. Bowen

Colder but still alright here with some rain and precipitation in the air. Picked a brand we don't see much around these parts but it's perfect for days like today riding around the city with waterproof zips and surprisingly good warmth from a chill in the wind.

Abba,
What Hide and color is that café racer? It looks damn near exactly like the Highwayman I just picked up a month ago off of eBay. Beautiful jacket you have there!
