That looks really good. My 1930’s HH half belt had a strong chemical smell that went away.

Dylan just listed a sale on his HH Tea Core Grizzly. I pulled the trigger.

Thankfully mine smells clean.

I’ve always been weird about the “shearling” quality from China- you’ll have to let us know how it is.

I’ll post pics when it lands.

I just ordered what looks like a copy of a half belt deluxe (aero). It's listed on the Crush on Retro site, but a reverse image search on aliexpress found the same for cheaper there. I'll post pics when it arrives!

Dylan sent me these photos last night before he shipped. I’m very impressed. The Shearling looks really good in my opinion and so does the color and look of the leather. Dylan has amazing follow up and communication. You won’t be disappointed with his service. If you see something on his page that you like give it a try. The value and quality for what you pay can’t be beat. Now I can look like a bald Hercules wearing the lion that I took down after battle. Lol!
