    #8 Shell Cordovan boots w/dark Brown Jacket?

    Not sure. Personally, I would only wear cordovan footwear on its own, with no other leather. Browns go together, blacks go together, desert suede footwear goes with anything.

    Seeking the Holy Grail of Leather: In Quest of the Perfect Asymmetrical Jacket

    ^ This. Black goat or black jerky. I'd go with goat.

    It's amazing how much weight can be lost through no alcohol. I get similar results :)

    Yes, I wish I just had three. In a perfect world, a CR, a Maxwell and a Highwayman.

    Seeking the Holy Grail of Leather: In Quest of the Perfect Asymmetrical Jacket

    Jerky horsehide. It's the most pliable, nicely-draping leather they have (that I've owned). It will show wear quickly and it will wear down to a russet base coat. If you don't want the wearing-off effect, get black Vicenza. It's slightly stiffer, has a drier hand and similar grain to goat.

    This leather looks interesting. Anyone know what it is?

    Think I found it... https://leather4craft.co.uk/shop/badalassi/badalassi-carlo-wax/badalassi-wax-carlo-pull-up-leather-bone-1-2-1-4-mm-thick/ The paler tones are great. Hmmm....

    I need to find a company that will make me a jacket in this sort of pale leather. This would make me very happy. I do not like the natural or unfinished hides, but this I like. J.

    It's a horsehide which looks like a lighter version of Aero's battered tan HH. I would definitely order a Deluxe HB or LHB in this. It's the mutt's nuts (although I appreciate that not everyone is going to dig it).

    The shoulder seam wear is just from carrying a canvas bag around - it really does wear down quickly.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Plainsman in black jerky HH. Upsides are that this is a pliable leather and easy to wear. Possible downside is that the topcoat wears down much more quickly than any other type of leather I've handled (see cuff edge). I think it will look great after a year or so, but I wonder if the topcoat...

    Eastman Roughwear fit

    Fit looks really good. It's unusually good, in fact :)

    This looks like a good solution - I will ask a tailor for options as I need a couple of shirts, anyway.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    This is an excellent idea - the jacket itself is a really nice piece of gear, but it's weird without a lining (I wouldn't repeat the experiment...).

    In the winter we're having at the moment, that might work...

    Rogue Territory Supply Jacket arrived. It's a nice thing, but I should have got the lined version. Unlined feels a bit insubstantial even though it's a really tough material.

    This Café Racer in battered seal. I've smashed the hell out of this over a few years. I need to lose a bit of weight, though, as it's getting tighter... The tan steer hide one is the same size, so now I have two reasons to lose the extra...

    Aero Café racer in Blackened Brown Vicenza. I still prefer brown leathers overall, but this is a nice change and Vicenza is great stuff.

    What would you tell your former self about ordering a custom Aero?

    Get Universal zips Get D-Rings OD/contrast stitching Troy blanket lining Opt for mid-weight hides or goat unless really needing a full-weight jacket Size up on 30's patterns, size down on 50's patterns. For me, two sizes up on Café Racer.

    Then you're all set :)

    Black rough out jacket recommendations

    I think that would look great. A trucker style, especially.
