Now we’re all getting warm and fuzzy eh? It’s only a matter of time before we can all match

hoping the grain just gets deeper and deeper. These hides must have come from some pretty gnarly horses ;)

Well I went and did it. I got my first ELC jacket and took a page out of @Brettafett book. Him and I tend to be very similar in sizing except I didn't add the extra length to my Monarch. No special aging, haven't been in the shower with it, no tennis balls in a drying machine. This is the...

What are those “knits”? Lol edit: I zoomed in and they are ribbed at least

This is a great point. I will shoot him a message tonight. I'm excited to see what he can do with the new HH. The snaps were so tight, no wonder the auction house didn't want to open the pocket up. I never wear my jacket done all the way up so the collar "issue" is minor. Thanks for the kind...

I am a sucker for cool historical items asides from just jackets. The photo was completely unexpected and not included when I bought the jacket. I intend to research as much as possible into who A.E Dixon was and the woman in the photo. My intention is to send this to Shawn once he gets his new...

Well, moment of truth gentlemen. The package arrived and I was very delicate taking the jacket out and gently placing it down. Until I realized how strong the leather on this thing was, it’s super supple, has no real weak points or areas that I could see being an issue. The snaps and zips work...

The moment of truth comes tomorrow. I will take some detailed photos and hopefully we get some sun here in Toronto so I can show it off a bit. Feels like a late Christmas!

I’m really curious to see what comes from Shawn when his horsehide comes in. I’m expecting a quality jump like we saw with his goat.

Website looks a little sketchy to me. Doubt anything but a box of air would arrive!

Is this his red russet? I’d also love to see it in the sun.

Hey Jim, colour on that looks amazing! Can’t wait to see it in natural light. The grain on the leather looks so smooth I thought it was horse for a second. Any particular reason you didn’t spring for the wool knits? Congrats on the jacket!

If I'm being honest, I wasn't looking for an investment of any kind. I just wanted a single original jacket to wear from time to time. Now I'm starting to doubt whether I should even wear it haha.

No real secret to be honest, I routinely use Invaluable.com which is a website that compiles a lot of smaller auction houses in the UK and US. I usually search "leather jackets" and to my surprise I saw the Perry but it said that it was "passed" on the latest auction which meant nobody bid on...

I'd love to see some photos Grant!
