I had this horsehide jacket from the Japanese maker Fine Creek & Co. for a week and I learned that this is worn ideally as a light jacket that you carry along nearly everyday and throw on just about anywhere. With its collarless design and bare essentials (no pockets), it is like a convenient...
Dude, a perfect fit. As I mentioned to you, I regret selling for the very reasons you mentioned. The wearability is the top reason.
Looks great on you, bro.

PM replied. A flight jacket is a must in any collection—like a pilot watch, or a chronograph, or the Omega Speedmaster to go with your Submariner, Datejust and Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso. [emoji846]

Here are some pictures taken yesterday. I’m 5’7” - 5’8” (depending on slouching). I weigh 150 pounds. I’m wearing very low-riser jeans (which I shouldn’t have for these pics).

This is the magnificent LOST WORLDS reproduction of the iconic AAF Russet Horsehide A-2 Flight Jacket.
This horsehide leather is a strong 3.0-3.5 oz., and the color is actually the correct darker russet, not orangy or too red. I’ve had it for about a year, worn it in a large rotation, and the...
Just picking up this jacket with your hands makes the grain patterns develop. It has been worn gently less than 20 times yet it is breaking in rapidly—one of those jackets that will develop a healthy and “clean” patina in about a year from now... and probably in two years the tea core will start...
The 13-inch MacBook Pro fits inside the BACK slot inside the bag, which is smaller than the main compartment, so it seems the main compartment may hold a 15-inch notebook if placed diagonally—but don’t quote me on that as I don’t own a 15-inch notebook. My home scale measures this Heirloom bag...
Heirloom Messenger bag, custom handmade by The Moose Leather Shop of Seattle. This full-grain hide was special custom-ordered in natural tan this past year, lightly hand-fatigued by Moose Leather. It was made within this year, and I’ve used it on-and-off. Excellent as an Every-Day-Carry, just...
I don’t want to be catfished. I’ll hold onto the jacket until the other comes in on Monday. I may even hold on to both in the end.

Trigger was pulled. The Fine Creek Leathers will be my first collarless jacket.
But, damn, I’d hate to get rid of this Iron Heart. I’m afraid I’ll regret this move. It drapes like a robust blanket, yet light enough to just grab to take anywhere.
Best horsehide I’ve ever laid hand on...
I assume you mean like this? If so, then it’s exactly what I’m looking for, a jacket to throw on and wear like a shirt.
