    Himel Bros jacket, 1st winter update

    Interesting thread. I've always fancied a Himel bros Heron but the high price was always a deterrent. But I'm convinced now to not take the plunge. Most expensive jacket i've owned was a flat head delraiser that cost $2500. Lovely, impeccably made jacket if you're looking at craftsmanship and...

    Does HorseHide become buttery soft?

I was just wondering today if it would end up becoming buttery soft if I kept wearing it for the next 10 years. Because...

    Yeah that was the day I received it. It's no longer like that. I believe they use the same style shinki for all their jackets. Is yours teacore as in brown overdyed black? Mine is like that. Yeah I have no issues wearing it to break it in. Not looking to speed up the process. I was just...

    Does HorseHide become buttery soft?

    https://imgur.com/a/Xy0TrkE Appreciate all the good responses here.

    Does HorseHide become buttery soft?

    The leather is vegetable tanned, and 1.3mm horsehide. I think that is considered midweight. It's also a brown core underneath and black on top. I noticed this as the jacket has broken in.

    Does HorseHide become buttery soft?

    Hello! Longtime lurker and beneficiary of all the wisdom on this forum. I own a flat head leather jacket in shinki horsehide (first leather jacket). It's breaking in nicely but I am curious as I don't have much experience with leather. But will horsehide ever break in till it becomes buttery...
