Hi there,
I am looking to get a new leather jacket that would match my natty CXL shoes; however, I would like options other than an Aero in natural CXL. Can you, gentlemen, provide me with some suggestions? I love the look of natural veg tan jackets, BUT over time these tend to patina into an orange cast, which wouldn't really match natural CXL--at least I think so. Your advice is welcome!

Thanks

Keeping in mind that the natty CXL is more this color,

The Thedi Bruciato goes pretty well.

Thanks so much, handymike. That Thedi is stunning and is definitely on my radar now--much obliged.

Tenjin is beautiful, but more russet than I am looking for.

Drool! I just bought a Thedi in their Hektor model, and I can't wait. Should I ever get a more russet jacket, their tan buffalo is spectacular. Thanks.

Hektor is how Thurston calls Thedi's snake plissken jacket right? I think it's Thedi's most popular model here on the lounge. Maybe because it's one of their more conservative models.

That jacket looks amazing - considering getting one myself. Found one in cognac. What color/hide is yours - and what size? I'm 5'10 - 175 - athletic. Thanks!!!!

I'm going to echo the Thedi tan buffalo suggestion. Once they both age they should look pretty good together.

Mine is the Tan buffalo after spending quite a bit of time under the sun, it is slightly lighter than the pic here
