I've owned this jacket in both the L and then the XL version. It's so distinctive with that distinctive bluish coloration and the distressed goat hide. And the half-belt design is so cool. I liked the design so much, I had Johnson Leathers make me a version in an overdyed black Horween hide...

The more I look at it...the more I'm liking the Kelpie Seal. But then again, I don't have a sample in hand.
What are you feeling about it? Are you considering ordering a jacket in this hide?
Great photos! Thanks! The color of that seal Kelpie is really growing on me. Some depth, some underlying shades of cordovan. Seems to have more character than even the Shinki (which puts it on another level.) Do you know if there's an upcharge for the Kelpie?
Thanks for the info. Yes, I had the Horween Vermont (JL Jacket) but it was always just a little too thin for my taste. With the temperate climate around here, the Vicenza has been a perfect weight/thickness. And it sounds like the Kelpie might just hit that sweet spot- thick but not too stiff...
@Jin431 Thanks for the pics. I'm most interested in the Seal.
I know it's hard to get an idea from a small sample as to how it looks on a jacket, but any thoughts about the hide? How does it compare to CXL in thickness and suppleness?
