Hi Guys,
So I recently paid a bunch of money to have a new CXFXHH Highwayman made. Awesome jacket but I just have a quick question about how the leather should look as the back of my jacket seems to look a lot less smooth than all the other CXFXHH Highwayman jackets I have seen. I really want to get any advice on if this is normal or if I should look at taking about this with the factory (I was planning on buying another in brown but this has put me off a little).
So on to the issue, the back of the jacket seems very grainy and the area in the top right of the back panel seems thinner and more supple than the rest of the jacket along with been very creased in that area. Yes I understand that its an organic product and has a grain to it, the issue I have is my jacket seems to have a LOT more than any of the other I have seen online or in the store. You can see what I mean by looking at the picture below.
Its a fantastic jacket but after looking at lots of pictures online and after handling a few in the store I want to get a little advice about the one I have received. No of the ones I have seen seem to have this very grainy and creased pattern on the back. You can see a few of the other pics I have seen below that don't have this issue. As you can see they seem very smooth in comparison. So should my jacket look like this?
For reference you can see what the front of the jacket looks like with the below pic. You can see in the picture its really nice and smooth. This is the sort of finish I was expecting to see for the back of the jacket.
Any help or advice any of you can give on this jacket would be massively appreciated.
