This is a Levi's Buffalo Leather jacket, made in India. Love the leather on this jacket, thick but super soft. Looks black indoors and grey in bright sunlight. Fits not great for me on it though.

Durable in sheepskin or Capeskin?

These jackets were just posted in threads of the past. A rare look at the same jacket, in what appears like new condition. to the same model after years of use. By the zipper assembly and stye, they are from the late 1930s.

Hello!
What would be the best modern equivalent of this? Vicenza Russet or Unfinished HH?

Hello, interesting question, but I have no idea. Someone else may be able to give you some ideas.

My LW test after a few days of wear.. some beautiful grain popping out. Unfortunately it is currently unwearable because the oh so great 200 dollar surcharge crown zipper teared up after just a few days.. good thing I bought this pre-owned (albeit unworn).. I am pretty ****ed as is, imagine I had paid 2k USD for this **** show of a zipper. Never had a YKK desintegrate into dust after 5 days of wear but wow look at these crown zips, arent they great?! lol

More double helix. I always seem to notice the graining mkst when stopped at red lights.

Old Bates CR in 46 recently purchased from another lounger. I think Bates meant it was a 46 if you only breathe out. I'm working on becoming a little more svelte now w/ a half marathon row scheduled for 4/20 (during the Boston). It's a beautiful jacket and amazingly soft for such a thick hide.

Here is the grain on my new Lost Worlds Easy Ryder jacket in heavy weight horse hide. The back and the right sleeve got the good grainy panels. This jacket is one month old, so still needs a lot of breaking-in which will make the grain really come out.

I am no specialist but aren't these striation marks?

I believe you’re correct, but it gives the hide some awesome character!!! I’m sure they will get better as soon as the leather stops identifying as a plywood board.

I love that back panel!
