No worries or rush Carrie, I know you have a lot to do, I just recognized that Sheene.

You're killin me pawineguy, you have more jackets on the way?

You're killin me pawineguy, you have more jackets on the way?

I was wondering the same thing...how many more do you have inbound, pawineguy?

And I'm not jealous in the slightest. Not one little bit. Nope. Not at all.

In any event, we need fit pics when you get your latest creations.

I will be sure to have pics up on Monday or Tuesday... I have the Sheene in Russet Vincenza coming, and the Cafe Racer from the other thread, which is in tumbled brown FQHH. (I really love the liner that Carrie suggested in that one) Greg, totally agree with your comment on the tumbled, HH tends to take a while to show some nice grain, while the tumbled already looks like it's been broken in, which I suppose it has been. I will comment on its feel, both compared to the regular FQHH and the Vincenza HH, when I receive my big box on Monday. (That box also contains a new motorcycle jacket for wearing in cold weather, not sure yet if that's a fit jacket or if I just keep it. From what I've seen and based on what I know, I'm probably going to keep it.)

Yep, the fit jacket they sent me to use as a guide prior to ordering a slightly different jacket, was hung in the closet that same day. My wife took one look at how it fit on me and stated I'd be nuts not to keep it. So, alas, I had to keep it AND order the one I had planned on getting.......

Yeah, luckily the fit jacket is the same as what I'm looking at so I'm hoping I'm safe.

This CR is beyond beautiful!

This CR is beyond beautiful!

Just shows what beautiful leather will do for what's a pretty basic design... I think we're going to see a lot of Vincenza ordered as more and more of these jackets are shown on here.

 

[pawineguy]

Russet above the tumbled brown FQHH. Comparisons coming...

 

[Monitor]

Huh, my vote goes to tumbled.

 

[pawineguy]

Huh, my vote goes to tumbled.

I'll get some close ups later today or tomorrow. In terms of feel, the Italian is a bit softer, but not so soft that you forget that it's HH. I really like both jacket so far.

I have a Black Vincenza Board Racer coming in and after seeing that Sonoma Racer I'm beyond excited.

As you should be, can't wait to see how it turns out. What type of lining / hardware did you go with?

First time poster here....I have seen so many phenominal Jackets it's hard to limit oneself to just one "perfect" jacket. The black Vincenza Cafe Racer posted here is just what I was looking for. After talking w Wade @ Thurston Bros. I am now waiting on a dark seal Vicenza Sheene.
Hopefully Wade will post a photo when it arrives.
Thank you all for posting photos of your wonderful jackets.

We did this Aero Board Racer in Black Italian Vicenza Full Grain Vegetable Tanned Horsehide and the customer requested a Buco J-100 style...looks great! I wish we could have photographed this outside to capture the grain a bit better, but it was pouring rain all day...

Congratulations. I'm sure it will turn out great. Welcome.
