Same "waxy brown 1.8-2mm bison" as in the IG reel?

I don't think so, no. The leather looks totally different to me.

@Rub-positive-8063
Yeah looks very different to me as well.
What leather did you request / was offered for this order? How was it described?

This looks way better than the first. Buttons aside, I also think the suede looks nicer. The finished leather did not appeal to me but the suede looks great, nice color. Looks thick!

Was supposed to be “Two Tone Brown” with brass buttons. Doesn’t look like the buttons are brass

Those look like silver nickel plated buttons but IMO you are better off with them in terms of color and quality. The original brass buttons were the kind you can buy from Amazon for .99 cents/20,000 count bag.

I'm already very excited. I hope it arrives next week. The first trucker has now become a grab and go jacket. I also like the fact that it has a padded lining and is therefore warmer than my others. And as it got cold again last week...
And it's just so comfortable.

I get a crosszip from the leather. I'm also very excited to see what it will look like in real life. Next week ...

These cheap buttons were immediately replaced by Leilah with donuts for future jackets when she got the feedback.
