Thanks Burt. She was worn pretty much all day long, every day for a month and a half prior to purchasing the Norshor Dubow. It has broken in nicely, but is still quite creaky sounding (due to the finish, not stiffness of leather). Hoping that will go away over time.

It will definitely go away with heavy wear. Wear it in a good rain storm that will help. Eventually the hide will loosen up , break down and conform to your body .

Back at you Nick!
On vacation and only brought this jacket. Weather (and light) not quite as nice as SoCal.
This one arrived on my doorstep just over ten years ago (March 2012).

Old Man Winter hasn't taken the hint yet, so for a morning walk today, I broke out the Irvin:

Jan It looks like an original.

Agreed Burt. I’m guessing the Spitfire is parked just out of shot Jan?

Aye, just having a cuppa while she's refueled.

My thought exactly! did a double take on it

Out running a quick errand in the Norshor Dubow. Sadly, the days of jacket weather are numbered here. Temps are going to be in the 80's most of the upcoming week.

Winter is stepping up its assault on Michigan, but I was able to make do with the GW Switlik today:

Snowin' there too? Mid-April.

 

[mulceber]

Yep - really weird too - the temperature is above freezing, but we're getting lots of really fat flakes coming down and immediately melting.

Ours is more spitting rain, then snow showers -- grassy spots and roofs were covered this morning.

AND... 78°F predicted for Saturday.

Here ya go!

Hello and thank you Burt for posting more images of your original USL.

I like it a lot especially with all random spots and over runs of dye here and there. Love that really pale zip tape color!

It is just me or some thread managed to keep their original color? Most of it did suck the dark dye but I can see some paler thread...

Again thank you!

I think what you might be seeing is the thread color change in the light when the photos were taken .

Me in my Willis and Geiger A2 maybe goatskin/steerhide/horsehide on the train (a bit too hot for my Christie's with its thick goatskin and heavy twill liner since it's 32 Celcius here)
One day I'll grew long enough arms to get the whole jacket in the shot like Mulceber does lol

 

[mulceber]

Down in the 30s (2-3 celsius) today, but damn it, I want to wear that Monarch:
