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 hoped for! For some time I have wished for a BK Cossack in seal Liberty HH, but at £905 + 20% import taxes and p+p not only makes it unaffordable but also more than I wish to pay for any jacket. So I was wondering what alternatives there are closer to home (UK) that can give me a similar light weight veg tanned hide that will age and patina like the Liberty does? I have looked at Aero's Vicenza leather but having never seen one I cannot know how it compares to BK's. Have not looked at Eastman because I am not a big A2 fan and besides they are similarly priced to BK. Anyone got any thoughts/Ideas as to where I may look?
Thanks guys
Mark
