Can't wait to get mine from Greg, that brown is nice. is it more red brown in real life like in the pictures? Any idea how this will age? Thanks

yes it is very similar to the pictures. But that can change with each batch, said Greg.

What is the thickness of the SB Sheepskin?

SB offers their B-3 Jackets in 25mm and 15mm. I would say in my jacket a B-6 was used a 15mm sheepskin.

The Tale of Two California Sportswear jackets, around the same time frame 50s, identical California Chrome Tanned Steerhide labels. No idea the significance of such a statement

This size 40 is unworn. I believe it is a factory second, very obvious stiching issues and mis-labeled. This jacket actually fits on me like a size 46+

The Well worn is just that I suppose.

One Worn-One Unworn

The unworn one would probably be TFL members jackets 50-80 years from now lol

Love how jackets age well like this. The well worn one looks gorgeous.

My Johnson Leathers M-200 in Brown Naked Cowhide. The jacket has a particular grainy patina in the elbows and throughout. I’ve been caught riding in many rainstorms on my way back from the Beach through the Pine Barrens Forests of New Jersey.
