Vented Vanson Sturgis today.
Zippered louvres sleeves and lower back. Works well on "mixed" days.
15C out and 32C with seabreeze borne humidity on the home run.
Hotter tomorrow with 35C coming early.
No bike run planned !

This is mainly a fit pic for the Italian deerskin A1 that came yesterday, lovely jacket, wearing with Dockers pants, tweed cap and the Italian brogue Chelsea boots View attachment 761112
I suspect it could be a Valstarino and soft supple goat instead of deer, but of course no labels even though it came from Italy as they make beautiful A1 jackets, but I'm not bothered no labels, it more than beat my expectations :)

This jacket is so mundane it’s painful but I really, really love Elk. Insane drape and thick like a wet blanket. Better representation of color in this pic.

I think the jacket is great because what makes it special lies in its very simplicity. Added to that are the striking color and the distinctive leather. If it weren’t so simple, the color and leather texture would be “too much” for me – but this way, I really like it. Who is the manufacturer?

Agreed! The simplicity of the jacket indeed does let the hide do all the talking. It’s made by Jansha tanning. A Pacific Northwest tanning and leather goods manufacturing company.

If I have my history right, large items like this were made for customers who brought in their own hides. I love the idea of that. It’s cool as they were likely the result of a hunt. This hide shows many imperfections, bites, scars and deformities. Almost certainly home grown. It’s the second one I’ve owned. Had a rough out halfbelt too. Pretty cool!

It’s wild. Both jackets fit about exactly the same. Sold this one off a few years ago. Kinda wish I hadn’t!
