I've always thought of Vicenza as a 'dry' leather, but does it have some waxes inside?

My Vicenza jacket arrived in the winter, and I wore it often through the spring and it's always been stiff (not unpleasantly so.)

I wore it yesterday, and the weather suddenly turned hot by afternoon. Once it did, I noticed that the jacket felt lambskin/textile levels of soft, which was a shock.

Vicenza is will definitely show some reaction to temperature changes! While Vicenza is not nearly as waxy as other other leathers (like CXL and Bainbridge), the fat/oil in the leather is enough to make it moderately pliable in cold weather and super soft when the weather heats up. Enjoy :cool:

We just shipped this sweet custom Aeromarine off to its new home in Ohio! It's made with Blackened Brown Vicenza (request was for a smoother grain hide) and an olive cotton sateen lining. The final result is a stylish jacket for mild weather that can take some warm layers for the fall!

Fit photo right after a delivery to Alice Springs :cool: This is an Aero Cafe Racer made up with all the details of the Board Racer! Fantastic fit achieved with our fit jacket process--he needed the "V" fit of the Cafe Racer rather than the slim, straight fit of the Board Racer. Contact us at sales@thurston-bros.com to reserve a stock jacket for your fitting!

It looks like an Aero Board Racer, but it's really a Cafe Racer in disguise! This came about through our fit jacket process...the Board Racer was too slim in the upper body for his build, but the Cafe Racer silhouette worked perfectly. However, he loved the features of the Board Racer, so we put this custom order together to fulfill both fit and features! When you are ready to start your custom Aero order, contact us at sales@thurston-bros.com to reserve a fit jacket and your spot in the production queue--

@Carrie @ Thurston Bros. I hope it’s not overstepping to post my HB off your stock page here. As much as I’ve always considered seal vic to be the “safe” choice it’s really stunning. I absolutely adore this jacket!

And just for good measure another vic jacket from your stock page that somehow exceeds all the customs I ordered.

Great photos! It's amazing how much the color of the Seal Vicenza can vary under different lighting--this photo brings out a gorgeous caramel tone!
