Haha yep! DHL lost them for like a month, then they actually delivered them back to Marc. Then he sent them again using another service this time

Love both of them, but the Blatt is the bee´s knees...!

That's great news and a great haul! The trucker fits you nearly as good as the Dickies one.

@torfjord so glad the jackets finally arrived after all that chaos!

Nah, man the Dickies actually fit me better! This Schott I can't button up. It's strictly for wearing open.

It's been an emotional rollercoaster with these jackets. Glad they are finally where they belong!

That is jacket perfection, but that shirt steals the show for me though. Love the casual look and fit of it.

Quick toilet selfie of a glorious mystery (Golden Bear-ish?) CHP that just arrived at my workplace. Took a gamble on the size and it paid off! May give it its own thread once I’ve taken some proper pictures.

Thanks! I love a good chambray shirt. It's a fabric that works so perfectly under leather jackets.

Greetings Panda! Super special Aero Type-3 in Raw Horsehide you have there. I often wondered what one would look like and now I know. I really like my Natural Vicenza Type-3 and it has aged quite well over the year I've had it. Your jacket will become even more spectacular over time I'm sure. Maybe keep a running photo log of the transition from new to seasoned. Lucky you to have such an extensive collection of enviable jackets!

Thanks, your vicenza type 3 inspired me to get a natty one. I think the end results will be similar, some darken honey shade. Going slow on this one, not adding anything just see where it takes me. Be back in about a year to show progress.

You look cool with a box, I haven't seen such a photo here. A trucker is a rare jacket, I especially like it.

 

[Oskinator]

Well I went ahead and tried the next size up in the Toys McCoy Code 33. It’s definitely a little roomier which I think I prefer for this style, while only being 1/4” longer in the body and sleeves.

How much does a jacket like this cost? Might even visit toys mccoy in tokyo

 

[Igneous629]

Rainbow Country in Tobacco Brown. One of my favorites.

Cool jacket, but i prefer your new mulholland

Yes, the natural Vicenza is nice but the contrast between that and the Raw horsehide is rather dramatic and I would wonder how the Raw HH would fair with casual wear and picking up every bit of grime. It appears the Raw doesn't have any type of treatment or topcoat to the hide. I'm sure the jacket will transition into a spectacular example of uniqueness that will negate any concern about the vulnerability to dirt/grime. It will be a fun year for you as the jacket matures. Here is a link to the Iron Heart site where they have a forum for those who have a Raw HH Type III - https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/t...ns-bilt-natural-horsehide-type-iii-jacket/203 - hopefully this does not breach any forum rules/restrictions. Lots of images of Raw HH in transition.

Love the collar on that Blatt, Hannes. It’s a statement for sure.

Now the only thing missing is the Vanson Cheyenne lolol.

I like both and believe they are different enough to justify keeping both… at least at this time.

I am not a fan of the dirt and grime either. The plan is to give it a wipe down / brushing as often as needed. The raw horsehide already picked up darken spots from the copper buttons, but I wiped them down already. That IH jacket actually turned out ok in the long run imo, only the begining there was a bit of scare with all that denim transfer and some grimes. I bought a bag used, made from raw horsehide, and the seller told me all he did was wipe down whenever it got dirty. There is still gonna be some darker grain spots I suppose but overall it shouldn't scream garbage find. At least that's my best hopes, only time will tell. This is what I want to achieve in a bout a year or two time, Fingers crossed...
