I do like the brown quite a bit but I don't think it fits my wardrobe or style very well. Maybe a very dark brown. Dark seal vicenza is on my short list. Seeing the cordovan that's been shared here has me leaning that way, I really like how it's almost black.

My cordovan Highwayman is probably 8 years old, so I would say it is the old color of cordovan.Welcome!
Aero, or Horween I should say, changed their CXL cordovan in the not so distant past. Having seen both in the flesh, the newer one is far nicer and much darker - approaching black, like you say. I don't know if @Peacoat has the old or the new, but if it's the old I see why he prefers brown.

Sounds like reason enough to acquire a new jacket, to me.My cordovan Highwayman is probably 8 years old, so I would say it is the old color of cordovan.
Oh, I have had a whole bunch of new ones since I got the Highwayman about 8 years ago.Sounds like reason enough to acquire a new jacket, to me.
Ha, I bet you have, but any in the new(er) cxl cordovan?Oh, I have had a whole bunch of new ones since I got the Highwayman about 8 years ago.
No, I am stuck on the brown. Carrie did post pics of the seal Vicenza a while back that turned my head, but I just have no more room in any of my closets to bring in anything else.Ha, I bet you have, but any in the new(er) cxl cordovan?
Fair enough. CXL brown is extraordinary.No, I am stuck on the brown. Carrie did post pics of the seal Vicenza a while back that turned my head, but I just have no more room in any of my closets to bring in anything else.
15142Todd, now that's a beautiful jacket! What contract?
Magnificent jacket.This illustrates why it makes good sense to purchase a premium product.35 year old Aero A2, Battersea Contract. What kind of leather? Ask ken, he made it.
Pdxgeo... Beautiful... my idea of the perfect MC jacket. Is it horse or steer?
so how old is this? steerhide? my experience with Aero's Horween horsehide is that it will start to look old after one week of wear, AND IT WILL STAY THAT WAY for years to come! however, I suspect the wax in the leather may eventually dimish and the fibres will start to get puffy and soft and porous, then the leather will get lighter and appears thicker, and the surface will get drier. This is just theory.
My 30s slim HB in black FQHH, after three or four weeks of wearing, is still tight on my upperback, little forward reaching room. What's the best way to stretch it? (I really don't want to wet it in cold water and wear it in this climate!). Thanks!
No need to soak it in water, use a spray bottle or a wet towel to keep it somewhat humid on the outside, and just wear it.
