    New jacket leather options...

    Recently traded in my Aero FQHH HWM against a new jacket (The FQHH too much for me these days). Going for a Royale (sucker for patch pockets). Aero only advise their mid weight leathers for this style so I am thinking either their Vicenza, Badallasi or the battered steer. I have no experience of...

    BK Liberty HH alternative...

    Thank you for that. Seems like the Vicenza is a possibility and the Jerky which I like more. Appreciate the info, many thanks

    BK Liberty HH alternative...

    Thanks for that. I too cycle my modest collection of jackets. The Liberty looks the best by far in terms of wear and patina. I shall have a look at the AVLTHR, could be an option. Appreciate the info, thanks

    BK Liberty HH alternative...

    Thanks for that. Your Liberty hide is very shiny compared to mine which has a much more matt finish. I will not consider the Vicenza if it takes so long to age, plus I think it may well be heavier. Cheers

    BK Liberty HH alternative...

    Hi, yes the Liberty according BK has undergone some process that makes it age/patina faster. I have not heard of Horween Lux. Who makes jackets with that leather? Thanks for the reply

    BK Liberty HH alternative...

    Thanks for the reply. I get the impression the Vicenza is a little heavier and stiffer than the Liberty. I know the Liberty comes from Italy and according to Andy at BK it is made for BK's specification. I hope your new jacket is evrything you hope. The Liberty is such a lovely leather. Thanks

    BK Liberty HH alternative...

    Hi, hope all is well with everyone on the FL. Been a while since I last posted anything. Just a quick question. My favourite hide by some margin is Bill Kelso's Liberty Horse Hide. I already own one of his jackets in this leather but three modifications later have left it far from what I had...

    Update, long awaited BK mod

    This is a follow up to my post back in Feb/March; How long is reasonable to wait for a jacket modification? Well after 9 months and a bit and a few stressed emails from me my jacket arrived mid March( It would be unfair of me if I did not mention Covit/Lockdowns played a big part in the delay)...

    My Thedi Jacket - MTG-162707 has arrived

    Beautiful jacket. Love the colour, not quite black? Sure you will feel proud to own and wear it.

    How long is reasonable?

    I received a reply from BK today (2 in fact). No need to go into details but he is apologetic and says he will get my jacket sorted asap and free of charge! I will post some pics when that happens. It is all typical of BK it seems but they usually come through in the end. Thanks

    How long is reasonable?

    Yes communication costs nothing and takes but a moment. Thanks for your reply

    How long is reasonable?

    Yes I see what you are saying. I have heard this as well. Some think Andy may actually be based in the USA? I do recall the stamps on my last parcel to be Greek though. Thanks.

    How long is reasonable?

    I have a feeling he/they have not lost it as I have communicated with them many times after they would have received my jacket. I kinda think my jacket modification is just not important or a priority. I also know (as he told me) they are having difficulties finding/retaining staff who can meet...

    How long is reasonable?

    Sorry I cannot recall the address and I have not kept any emails with the address. May I ask why you want it? I do not Intend pursuing my jacket to that extent. I shall just right-it-off I suspect. Thanks
