Hi Guys,

I was asked by another member here to show again my BK Waldo Pepper with the Bronco collar. Not the best pics but best we could do. The jacket has changed quite a bit after 6 months of wear. I have done nothing to the jacket other than wear it. It's definitely darkened quite a bit and developed some nice grain/patina.

Forgive me for slipping in my new toy, just had to show it off! :eek:

That leather looks amazing! Would you mind taking some close ups just to see the hide?

Nice bike too, although it could do with a nice exhaust...

Mark, thanks for posting those!! The jacket is looking absolutely great. I really like the pattern as a whole, and that collar to me really sets it off. I love how it's a bit more elongated (not sure if elegant is the right word but it definitely had a more "wow" factor than others). It should look pretty snazzy on a half belt ;)

Also, I must say the russet Liberty looks really really nice. It appears to have some rather impressive color depth; almost a papaya red to it, which I like (sort of reminds me of Goodwear's elusive red russet). Anyway, it has me contemplating that as an option for something at some point (eg a zip front Aeronaut).

Thank you again, sir, and please continue wearing that bad boy and updating us.

Happy Sunday!

Thank you guys for your comments. I love the jacket. Unlike my other jackets this one really seems to be developing lots of character quite quickly. The colour is cool as well, a little darker now with slight variations of colour ranging from orange, caramel & as Breton says Papaya.

Yes Carlos840 some pipes are on the cards when I can afford it!

Cheers chaps ;)

Oh Carlos840 forgive me if I don't post more pics, just a bit time consuming and I am at work now. However, I have posted several pics here when I first got the jacket. Cannot remember the post title but if you type in Waldo Pepper sure you will see it. Cheers.

Breton, the bike terrifies me! I haven't ridden for some twenty year but I had a bit of a mid life crisis hence the bike. I am taking it very easy, it weighs a ton and drives like a tractor, but its awesome and I love it.

That jacket is gorgeous. Great fit as well. The color really does have a lot of character to it.

...and yeah, I don't blame you for showing off the bike haha

We've got some of these coming I for the shop with buttons cuffs and leather front and back with elasticated sides. Same hide.

Your jacket was the inspiration it is aging beautifully. Very nice.
