What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Hobbes1]

No doubt about it this is far and away the best hide Shawn has produced to date. I love all the stretch marks. It’s just gorgeous. Every time you post this I get super geeked about my Halfbelt. I literally can’t wait to see this hide in the flesh. Your jacket is nothing short of superb.

Thank you. I am pleased with this one! One day, I hope it ages into something like the HH halfbelt you just posted up thread. I love that look so much! Cheers!

I believe it will. I’m badgering Shawn like crazy to get mine done.

5* HH pull up brown. Temps heading up so jacket weather might be starting to fade away.

Thank you. I am happy with the condition. There are some areas of discoloration on the leather but no crack or scratch. Seems heavy wear is not the reason for the discoloration but that it faded due to storage.

Thank you. The design is a mashup of some things I've seen online, dominated by Thedi design. For me, Thedi has some of the best looking designs anywhere.

I learn something new every day. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Thedi does, IMHO, have great looking jackets, though

This is a beauty, I had a couple of these but neither had a Beautiful collar!

I was referring to the Californian Police jacket for the back and front shots.

Very nice use of natural lighting, that chocolate cowhide is actually pretty nice. By the way the goatskin one has an adjusted neck line.

This cowhide is quite robust. Closer to 5oz than I originally thought. Very hardy leather. But just regular brown. I like the Tiger stripes goatskin look a lot better! I just got an idea. Insta Msg you now.
I kinda like the old dramatic lapels. Still trying to train them to fold flat. Maybe an invisible underside snap like the Cals.

Oh this. I think it is the same as yours but without side laces.

Yes, that is it. Also has the same underarm gussets which surprised me on mine. Had not seen this before on a Californian. It is not on my later 50s Californian straight zipped police jacket.

Laces on mine.

Thanks
