Merry Christmas all,

The last jacket, russet suede, always liked this style, but had bad luck at my closest encounter. Bought a NOS (even came with hang tag & original cleaning sponge) by forgot who, my size, but the moment I put it on the armhole seams came apart, then the rest of the seams just all start to fall apart, & it’s not the thread, but the leather. It’s probably because 1) the suede side facing out offers less protection against element & 2) it was not a true “roughout”, but some kind of split. My true roughout Jerry’s is still strong.

Bummer. I haven't noticed any weakness in the leather on this one. I'm hoping none shows up because I like the look quite a lot.

All three look great but the Lawrence is a standout. Glad it worked out for you!
Thanks Gamma. It would work out a lot better if we would continue to have the spring like weather we've had for the last few days. Ha ha. I"m happy we made the trade.

Thanks,
Michael
