Has been too hot recently so I didn’t wear it too much. So far I had some sleeve color variation due to creases but that’s it.

Awesome thanks @Hh121
That’s included in the purchase price. No additional charge. At least I don’t think. Hasn’t shipped yet.

Better jacket than mine! congrats! Even hide looks better than Horween CXL, LOL!!!
LOL. We all know about pictures…I’m excited to see it in the flesh! My fears about the fit are gone, I’ll fill it out more than Shawn. Construction and hide look great. As soon as the black is ready, I am too.

Choose Kevlar lining for your next project, make it bulletproof for real lol.
And they have finally figured out how the buckles work! Nice!
I think you should have asked for it to be lined with goatskin, see if it breaks the 10lb mark...

is this the brown clx or shawns take on cordovan?
It does look to have some red in it. I take the photos with a grain of salt. Actually many grains as the color always seems different in the flesh. This is shawns house brand heavy brown hide.

No color change so far. It's not one of those "natrual" leather that turns honey orange. It is a tan color dyed leather, with waxes pressed in. The darker brown seems like a much better choice.

The edges are skived so there is no bulk at the seams. Kinda nice compared to Aero because no heavy seams resting on my shoulder bones.
I thought about the no gusset panels construction for better fit too. But I am gonna give it one more try. Heavy leather all around, except the side gusset panels, which will be made in softer goat leather. Like the bike vests that are put together with side laces.
Shawn's leather is not like Horween. Horween hides feels stiff when cold, but they all soften when warm. Shawn's steerhide does not change temper after warming in the sun for an afternoon. It is not stiff but not soft either. It is not the same as Horween CXL, it has almost a spring back feeling to it. Like a leather briefcase or saddle bag.
