It’s not going to be legitimate jacket weather here for a good two months. Summer gets longer, winter gets longer and the temperate zones keep shrinking.
I just waxed this Monarch with Urad, what a hide! Probably the nicest vintage HH I’ve handled. It’s uniformly thick, soft and a beautiful cordovan color. This jacket has such a nice austere quality to it. One zipper, two pockets, thick nylon quilt and that’s it. Loaded with French seams, the true beauty lies in how well tailored it is. Dena shortened this guy by a whopping 4”. I’m quite pleased with the result. Can’t wait to wear it for real, like all the relics in my closet, it’s going to have to wait.

She nailed it. That jacket looks amazing.

Vanson. Just went for a quick ride. Too hot for a jacket. Had to wipe lots of bugs off it. Octagon, especially the final years of batches, was such a cool leather. Deep, rich, subtle marbling. I get many more comments about this vest than any of my jackets. Probably all of my jackets put together.
