I will say that your Sheene and PAWINEGUY's Sheene were the determining factors in my ordering one too!

This is for folks that like to see tucked in shirts with jackets.. If I have not said it before, I am really loving the fit of this jacket..

You could be a model for that jacket. Awesome fit.

It is breaking in very nicely. With the Vicenza, I would have thought it would have lost the ability to stand on its own by now. My Sheene FQHH still barely stands on its own, and I have had it several years now. Unfortunately, it is time to put it up until Fall as we are quite warm here in Middle Tennessee. Had to put the Thunderbay up a while back as we only had a few weeks of Winter back in December. Warmest weather I have seen here in what was supposed to be a winter.

Just took delivery of this jacket from Thurston Bros. Just wanted to give a shoutout to Carrie and Wade for their wonderful customer service before anything. They made the process as seamless as possible.

Back to the jacket. Carrie earlier posted some pictures of this jacket in the other thread here that show the grain better. It is the Aero Sheene in Seal Vicenza. A standard size 38 with the below modifications. Found a tag that said that "Julie Leitch" made the jacket.

  • No shoulder gussets
  • Three-Pocket Design…chest pocket on left chest to be horizontal, not slanted
  • Single pointed, “V”-shaped yoke
  • Two piece arms (Japanese slim-fit arms)
  • Antique brass hardware
  • Diamond-Shaped Talon Pull on Chest Pocket
  • Bell Pulls with Horsehide Toggles on Handwarmer Pockets
  • .5 inches added to each side panel so that the jacket is tapered to 1 inch larger in circumference at the bottom hem
  • August Collar
  • Olive cotton drill lining throughout

Very happy with the fit of the jacket and the weight as it is also going to be an evening jacket and not something used for riding. The leather is soft but not as stiff as the regular FQHH and I am hoping it will drape better once it is broken in..

Some pictures.

This jacket was a major factor in my deciding to get a Sheene- No regrets!!!
