Merry Christmas! Argentine made B-3. Got it for $38 at a resale shop years ago.

Merry Christmas all,

The last jacket, russet suede, always liked this style, but had bad luck at my closest encounter. Bought a NOS (even came with hang tag & original cleaning sponge) by forgot who, my size, but the moment I put it on the armhole seams came apart, then the rest of the seams just all start to fall apart, & it’s not the thread, but the leather. It’s probably because 1) the suede side facing out offers less protection against element & 2) it was not a true “roughout”, but some kind of split. My true roughout Jerry’s is still strong.

Bummer. I haven't noticed any weakness in the leather on this one. I'm hoping none shows up because I like the look quite a lot.

All three look great but the Lawrence is a standout. Glad it worked out for you!
Thanks Gamma. It would work out a lot better if we would continue to have the spring like weather we've had for the last few days. Ha ha. I"m happy we made the trade.

Thanks,
Michael

Massive thank you to @JMax for an exceedingly good deal on this Cal. He’s a great seller and I’d be lying if I said I didn't want to funnel more of his collection North! I’ve sent Alan an email, I’d like to get this puppy outfitted with a natural shearling collar like the one from his IG account:

Well GD, that looks awesome. The blond collar will take it to another level.

I'm actually engaged in some crysterbation right now, missing that jacket. Glad it found a good home. If you decide to kick it to curb for any reason, please allow me the opportunity to buy it back. I rarely wore it (just reached for my LW CHP much more often) but I'd be lying if I did not like it chilling in my closet. Enjoy it brother. Great pics.
