Imagine that pattern with horse hide

Makes no difference to me. (I understand HH means something special to you)

I thought that jacket was horsehide, the CXL overdye stuff that Johnson carries. I could be wrong though, I have a lot of jackets floating around in my head after all!

Custom made CR. Sorry for the crappy pictures - they match the crappy swing-back.

Thinking of maybe use it to make a pattern if I'm not going to wear it much, I like the fit though.

In the spirit of experimentation- Aero Type III with the Filson vest.

I like the look alright but the vest is too thick for me to close the jacket if needed.

Not obvious from pics but shoulders and arms getting tight on the Type III, not sure how long I’ll be able to properly fit into it. Feeling a bit like the above-mentioned Johnny Bravo heh.

@Riu Lovely jacket and very good fit IMO! Is it a SB or Aero? CXL HH + Steerhide?

Thank you @Robbie79! Unfortunately none of those or any other known makers. It's a custom order in cowhide from a maker I found online and although I like the fit, they've messed up the bi-swing and the leather is not what it should have been. I've ordered a thick cowhide and this one is less than 1mm and it feels weird a bit. I had to take it to alterations as I couldn't wear it like that and now it's ok-ish let's say but I rarely wear it as they said it's a design fault with the back and they couldn't fully fix it.

Is the bi-swing issue a functional or appearance issue? Do you have pics of the back? Other than that the fit looks great.

It's both actually, you can see how it's been designed in these pictures. The third and fourth picture is after alterations. There is still a lot of leather that stays instead of going back fully.

Yeah, I see what you mean. The last picture isn't too bad but the third you can see the little excess leather. WAY WAY better than before though. It's still an overall great fitting jacket though. Rock the shit out of it brotha!

It's in great shape after all this time. Did you wear it a lot during these years?

HoosierDaddy · Mar 7, 2021

Quite a bit during the first ten years, then my interest turned to other styles and brands finally settling on Thedi.
