Here you go: The bottom one is virtually straight out of the box (with a bit of early sunburn on the right shoulder after lying near the window for half a day or so).

The other one is after two weeks or so. I am more happy than I look, but I will work on telling my face likewise...

That's a sharp looking jacket! The premier HWM was literally about the last style I would've selected (aside from maybe an a-2 or whatever)...it's hilarious how it's become my favorite pattern. Your photos illustrate why!

Such a beauty! The front cut of the jacket looks really good.

Thanks everybody for the kind words and the warm reception!

The jacket is indeed the twin to Ton’s weed-cop jacket. Only difference seems to be the zipper-placement.
Initially I wanted a custom HWM, but the latest batch of midnight-blue CXL is already out. Imagine my joy when I spotted this beauty in the Sales...

Tom so glad you got this one! It's a true "2 of a kind" and needs to be with someone who can really appreciate it! Welcome to Fedora Lounge - may your wallet survive!!

Thank you @Tom71 for the addictional pics.
And i spelled that correctly!!
If one could choose only two jackets to own i believe your pair of midnight blue and Natural Aeros would sate me ad infinium!!
Makes me wanna sell my precious ones and start ordering.
Except the Cal and the Antique Steer and....well you get the idea!

I’ll be curious to see if Horween can reproduce this now expired batch of cxl midnight. No two batches are ever exactly alike across the color range. Can lightning strike the same place twice? There has to be a bit of magic there I suppose.

Who knows... they might even strike another really nice balance! We all know that every discerning gentleman should have different shades of midnight

This today.

I really wanted to try the natural HH, Aero used for their Epaulet-collaboration, so I specced a Premier HWM. I asked for Board-Racer cuffs (...), but due to some misunderstanding or perhaps me not making myself clear was told that this was not possible for this style.

I got the jacket mid July and was really happy. Only days later, Ton posted his masterpiece, Board-Racer zips and all. This was how I ended up ordering the twin.

The photo isn’t terribly good, but the colour comes across pretty accurate. Three weeks of wearing it hard (and not babying it, which would be useless as the hide is a stain-magnet) have done miracles to the optics.

Looks great!
Mine is a half belt- same hide. Simply marvelous!!

Went to watch the Perseid meteor shower last night, so the perfect opportunity to don an ELC Irvin, shame it was cloudy.

That is such a beautiful jacket! Great looking leather and the color is

Why can I never find old Swedish goat jackets like that?!

Thank you. They really are underrated and special in my opinion. I bought both of mine from the same ebay seller and he seems to have some from time to time. Leather quality is awesome if you like wild grain and they are soft and supple to wear.

You inspired me to go on the bay and look again! One more jacket on the way

Is that natty veg tan? I bought a pair of boots in that leather, and it really is a stain magnet. I’ve had a little success cleaning spots with alcohol or water... tried ivory dish soap it’s okay. Put a little wax and conditioner on them when I first got them because the leather seemed dry, but it didn’t seem to help protect it much in the stain department. I think I would have like natural cxl better, at least in the short run... but I’ll see how this ages. It does develop a patina rather quickly.
