The tan jacket leather looks like Horween Essex leather. I have a notebook cover from Don't Mourn, Organize (Scott Willis) in Essex that looks very similar. It's a beautiful hide.
Essex is what my DD J-100 is made of, and I agree that it's top shelf. Could also be Dublin, which is a very similar leather. Either way, the bottom line is that Horween doesn't make any "low end" leathers, and if this turns out to be a simple, clean, half belt with a surprisingly low price, I bet they sell a bunch of them. While it was a nicer design IMO, Taylor Stitch blew the doors off with their $1075 moto jacket.
