The Shinki on my Himel Heron is just delicious, and the leather facing on the collar make it unique.

I like that first one.

They are fun to look at?

It is all goat, I think JC sources Indian goatskin. It has a decent heft and does soften with wear, even though I have little opportunity to wear leather jackets these days.

I like Cossack leather jackets, I have a few but my GW two-tone goatskin is probably my favorite. I think if fits pretty well, and the leather is fairly light weight.

Thats a beauty, gotta love that original Monarch design! Is that goatskin?

Jeremiah I enjoyed reading about your BK project. I recently had fun re-dying some truckers and am pretty pleased with how the Schott came out. I like my most recent GW very much and certainly don't think that I could improve it. I have been wearing it almost around the clock and it is...

My jacket collection is benefitting from a lot of dumb luck, and I cannot begin to pretend that I know much about the details of this jacket, but the russet Indian goatskin is very slightly heavier and thicker than the Horween horsehide of my GW Hercules. I am told it has all accurate details to...
