Always enjoy these photos!

Spectacular jacket too! How does the hide wear? Do you feel the Heft at all?
It just feels stiff as you would in a new CXL. The pattern works v well as no weight on neck at all. The sleeves are so thick like for dog trainers or eagle trainers. The stiffest parts are shoulders due to patches - the patches are like 2.5-3oz, but in total would be 7.5-8oz - imagine how thick it is! They give me that much needed broad shoulders v shape look :).

I’ve had one mom saying to me at school run - ‘why you always dress like the terminator…’ can’t ask for a better compliment!

C2 never fails to impress! Looks great! What year is yours?
1994, so all-metal brass talon zips. Weirdly the front and pocket sliders are stainless steel, not sure if replacements (all seems unlikely) or bicolour hardware from the start?

By way of comparison, today I am wearing a Schott 618 also from 1994. Funny how different it looks despite similar pocket layout and dimensions—truly the yin/yang of the preeminent double rider layout…

Both jackets are great on you! Your C2 does have an interesting mix of hardware.
