Wow! that russet really sings in the Vicenza!
It would make a fabulous 30s Premiun Slim-fit HB.

We took some shots of the Seal outdoors as well...

The seal is nice, but that russet is something special!
Especially as it ages...

I like the seal more, russet's too... brown.

We're still waiting for jackets made from the Dark Seal, but I rolled out one of the Dark Seal hides today and took a photo--

As you can see, it's almost Black!

Carrie, compared to Chromexcel FQHH as well as to Aero's new goat, how heavy and stiff is the Vicenza? Is it significantly lighter and more supple than the Chromexcel?

Hi Rudie,

The Vicenza Horsehide is about the same weight and flex as Aero's new Goat. It's definitely lighter than CXL FQHH.

Whoa! Sounds like the perfect leather to me.

Go custom...the Full Grain Russet is now in stock and set to be cut!

Carrie, just curious, how many jackets do you get from a hide? Or is it hides per jacket?

It depends...however, it's 2-3 single sides per jacket...

That hide is gorgeous. Truly breathtaking!
