I like the black & red with black leather trim, but it Is NOT in the budget for this year.
Sorry me, you shall just have to wait. :)

Thanks for sharing. Something different. Not sure if I like it but I said that many times before... They also offer green Horsehide now.

I am not brave enough to rock such a ubiquitous pattern as buffalo check with leather. I see plenty of buffalo check out there though without leather trim.

Man, as goofy as this jacket is it really speaks to me.

I'd love to see it with a better combo of wool and leather. I don't think the black and red with the brown is doing it any favors. Maybe I still wouldn't like it, but I think a better combo would help.

Both materials are great on their own, but I don't think they work well together here.
I looked at the options and I see that it is available with black jerky horsehide or black Vicenza horsehide, I think that it would look a lot better with either one of those.

^Agreed. I love the concept but would rather see black with the red or green buffalo. The cordo and red is a bit too harsh. Nevertheless I would absolutely wear the snot out of that jacket. I’ve always had a thing for wool and leather combo jackets. To me they really call to mind the 30’s-40’s era “use all materials available” modus operandi.

There's not a tradition of loud check outerwear in Australia, so I imagine over here it's the kind of jacket that would have people making smart alec remarks about it everywhere you went. Maybe a cultural difference but I would like a much more subtle check pattern, with way less contrast - muted greys and blues, perhaps and less leather - no shoulders, just cuffs, elbows and trim.

Maybe it could work if worn with a matching kilt in the Scottish Highlands... just a bit too loud otherwise imho

Love mixed material jackets like this but agree this colour combo doesn't work for me. Would love to see it in either a darker plaid or some kind of tweed.

I see they've updated the design of their Wool and Horsehide Half Belt too, removed the back action pleat by the look of it but left the seam, kind of a shame as that was one of the features that I like the jacket for.
