I’m absolutely thrilled with this jacket! The seller claimed it’s goatskin suede from the 40s. Not sure if that’s true but it’s in amazing condition.

Super nicer Type III - a good fit on you. I obtained one of these in 2021. The horsehide is top notch and the fit on me is good although the sleeves & body are rather long. I paid $1300.00 back then - they are going for $1680.00 now - YIKES! The horsehide breaks in quickly and will only get better the more it's worn. Thanks for posting.
Thank you! Luckily, I have Orangutan arms, so the long sleeves suit me well. Just love this jacket.

Was 95 degrees Thursday and Friday, now looks like low to mid 50’s the rest of the week. This must be the last push of Northern air for the season.

I will likely never find the E/W in my size but I’m super happy with this one, beats the snot of the Levi’s and the Aero attempt.

I’ve developed /perfected a line that allows me to wear a leather jacket in heat and not coming across as an idiot: I got sunburned badly before and doctor ordered full coverage /complete block of sun light - that’s why I cover myself with a leather jacket!

Seriously - I actually feel a cotton lined leather jacket is quite a good insulator against UV - the leather gets heated on the outside but inside is still cooler and regulates body temp well.

I agree. I lived in SE Asia and would get comments when I wore leather jackets on the motorcycle. But to me it was more comfortable to have leather blocking the sun and hot wind than a mesh jacket absorbing heat and blasting me with hot air.
