Keep in mind that the alpaca can be a bit itchy. I personally prefer a drill lining if you're concerned about durability, or the tartan lining for appearance/comfort.
Salv-
I'd love to see pics of your Cordovan Barnstormer. I almost bought a Cordovan Highwayman this season, but I chickened out and bought one in black instead. Maybe next season.

PADDY said:Lovely shots Salv, and you capture the jacket well. Looking good my friend! Do you tend to wear it with or without the leather belt? AS that does really change the look of the jacket (I feel).
Salv said:It's not particularly cold today, but the sun keeps breaking through, so I managed to get a few photos of the cordovan Barnstormer:
Baggers said:Whoops, I'm coming a bit late to this one, but you've made a very wise decision. I love my Barnstormer with the twill lining. Aero's shade of brown has a wonderful rich reddish hue that sets it apart from all my other leathers. And because it's a rather thin sprayed on finish, it will develop character quite quickly and look even better.
I forget which thread it's in, but after I first got it, I posted pictures somewhere here. Just search for "Barnstormer" or "WW1 Aviator Look" either here or in the WW2 section.
Congratulations!
Cheers!
