If you've clicked you probably know what you're looking at, but just in case: this is the custom 2mm hide version of the Leon from Fine Creek Leathers.

It's a "cleaner" version than the standard with a heavier leather; no epaulettes (or cutoffs for that matter).

A very fast fader, worn for about 6 months, absolutely luscious leather. I've just got and very much love the FCL Eric and it's more my style, so selling this one.

Measurements(inches):

Chest: 23
Shoulder: 20
Length: 28
Sleeves: 26

Paid 1700GBP, looking for 1400GBP.

Description from Rivet and Hide:

Fine Creek Leathers source their own custom horsehide from Himeji, Japan, and sew these high grade jackets at their Tokyo work shop.

The jackets age and wear beautifully with different thread tensions in the sewing to make them pucker in the arm creases. This classic rider's jacket has been stripped back to a more minimalist style with no epaulettes or belt and comes in a 2mm heavy equine leather.

As you’re probably aware @ljs1960 the 2mm refers to thickness of leather used, I don’t know how much it weighs and don’t really have anything at hand to accurately weigh it.

I can say the jacket feels quite light on, about the same as my Real McCoy’s Buco and Flathead jackets, and the leather is very soft.
