Took me a while to figure out how to post pics.
1) A jacket I bought off of e-bay. No tags at all. Listed as horsehide, but feels nothing like the Aero or the LW. I like this jacket a lot, the leather feels like a high quality glove...but the 70's color doesn't work for me. As you can see, the collar/lapels aren't 70's at all, so I would like to get this dyed a few shades darker. It is vegetable tanned, so I hope to be able to keep some of the patina/color variation. I'd really prefer to send this out to be dyed. Any recommendations?
2) Aero Long Half Belt - The jacket that caught my eye when I first visited the Aero website. I've only worn it twice; so it's pretty stiff, but it fits me great. Found it NWT on e-bay. I'm a size 40 and this is a size 38. After getting this jacket and looking at the tanning of the leather, I saw what all the fuss was about.
3) Golden Bear that I bought off the B&S here. Very heavily lined, a winter coat. Great pebble grain to the leather in many areas. Solidly made.
4) Lost Worlds Ryder - went to the LW sale page after joining TFL and found this jacket. Took a while to break in, and I still have a ways to go. Feels bullet-proof.
