if Alan can make me 5.5-6oz jacket, then it’s JL for sure.

My back hurts just from reading this.

Nice pic Dave. Any signs of wear yet? Any brown showing? Alan said that hide is not for the meek!!!

Yes, the jacket can still stand on its own! No teacore yet, but I plan to update this thread with evo pics!

I would love to see some updates. How long have you had the jacket? A lot of wear time? Is that leather more shiny or dull/matte?

I’ve only had it for about a month. I haven’t put too much wear on it yet, as it’s been too warm until very recently. The leather is definitely more matte. Here’s a few quick close up pics of the leather.

Thanks for the pics and updates. I thought the Horween stuff was more of a shinier leather.

Horween usually is shiny when new but doesnt stay shiny very long. It usually dulls within first weeks of wear and after the first few rain showers. The Horween stuff I have samples off from Alan and the one Horween jacket made by him are even less shiny than Aeros CLX to begin with.

@jacketjunkie, How is your jacket holding up? Any brown showing up yet?

Right. I've owned a few CXL jackets (Aero) that were much shinier when new. This jacket is very waxy (that's CXL), but it's not shiny. And at 3.75 oz., it's THICK.
