Didn't really wear today but wanted to take advantage of the sun shining as permacloud returns tomorrow:

The Bates pull is the only ID I can find, but that's definitely not conclusive evidence. I don't know enough to say for sure one way or the other. Regardless, another heavy, but supple and easy wearing 5+ lb hide.

I have some more detail photos but not sure where to post. If it is a Bates there doesn't appear to be a dedicated thread for the brand.

Pretty happy this week.

Wow! New custom one? Looks great!

Yes new and custom through Thurston Bros. as I own a few Aero jackets already in different styles thought I would get a new jacket using their fit process (using my existing jackets to get the right fit), super happy with the fit and ordering process, Carrie makes it so easy.

1.Vicenza Horsehide, Blackened Brown

2.All Brass Hardware, Talon main Zipper, Diamond Waldes pull on chest pocket

3.Lanark cotton tartan lining with black cotton sateen in sleeves

4.Side straps up to half belt location (like on 1930s Half Belt)

5.Leather-lined button cuffs (replace corduroy with leather)

6.1930s Half Belt cuff, not standard Original Hercules cuff

7.Replace corduroy under collar with leather

8.Left side vertical interior pocket with no closure

9.Left side horizontal chest pocket.

10.Olive Drab stitching

11.Rock’n’Roll label; new Thurston label in lower front bottom hem

I wonder what kind of image, style does cheyenne contain? what should or should not be a headdress to match this jacket, as well as what jeans or maybe trousers and what finally shoes?))) or do I dig too deep?)))

Great find. But it looks like a Vanson model C2 to me.

Looks fantastic, and a size 38?! Weren’t you a size 44? What great weight loss effort, congrats!
