Sorry can’t get the hang of taking a decent picture. Not going to set it out in the sun, just going to wear it and see what happens.

I ordered a type 3 in natural CXL earlier in the year, unfortunately due to the pandemic I had to cancel, but there was no issue ordering one.


Holly said they did very few Type 3 with CXFQHH. But they always select the lightest available hides to make it. At the moment their Natural CXFQHH is far too heavy for a Type 3. So I don’t get one.

I was told that as well, and was offered Vicenza as an alternative, which I don't like. I'd go with Jerky if I didn't have one already. It's a shame they shy from using CXL for their Type-3 but it's a very complex jacket to be made.

Go for the Vicenza Horsehide!

If I wanted the Type 3 in black/brown/blue, I would take Vicenza immediately. I have it with my Ridley and I think it's great. But with natural Vicenza I'm not sure if that's too yellowish for me. Of course, I have the option of waiting for new deliveries in the hope that a lighter CX will be included. Nothing is currently ordered.

You might want to consider aero's tumbled CL horse. Not that the tumbled is lighter but it is not as stiff.

I have one that’s been on the way via eBay global shipping since 11/15, will be sure to post some pics here once it arrives.

From the pics it appears to have spent some time in the sun, it’s a golden honey color with dark brown collar.

It does look like the older pattern, the pockets don’t appear to have the visible seams continuing the V shape panel from the body.

I realize this is an old thread….

Does anyone care to post more photos of this leather as it’s aged? I’d like to see more about what to expect a couple years down the road of wear and sunlight.
