That's the overdye supposed to be, my Johnson leather overdye cowhide still looks black/grey after several year and they call it "overdye"(it's basically a regular chromexcel black cowhide with natural flesh side), amazing.
Great jacket, just the right amount of brown peeking through. The zipper wouldn’t bother me in the leastHi y'all, just wanted to drop by and drop some images of the grain developing on my Real McCoy's shinki fqhh jacket; I feel like there isn't many photos of worn(ish) shinki horsehide in the wild and I just wanted to contribute some images for referencing.
I was thinking whether I should do a full write up of this jacket too, so let me know if anyone wants to see more of it/info on it. (The zipper got a little wavy after I got caught in a downpour in the jacket one day... something I just have to live with I guess)
