Thurston Italian Vicenza Horsehide Full Grain Veg.-Tanned Horsehide for Aero Jackets

[Carrie @ Thurston Bros.]

Of the Italian hides I've handled, the seal and the russet were to my the nicest. The black's fine, don't get me wrong, but the other two have real character and colour variation.

Don't forget the dark seal Vicenza! We'll have photos of this up soon...

Thanks

Carrie - Looking at the hardware on the last two jackets you posted. Is the Fontana with nickel zips, and the Sheene with antique brass? I'm trying to decide which I like more...

You could always go custom! No extra charge, just a tad longer wait time

 

[GregO]

You can do custom? Wowzers.

 

[mendelboaz]

Better check out the Thurston Bros. website, my friend! There's a whole section on custom Aero jackets.

You remind me of me way longer than 20 years ago. hwell:

 

[mendelboaz]

You talking to me, Fanch?

 

[GregO]

No, he was talking to me. I made a stupid (now deleted) comment. Ignore the both of us.

 

[Brettafett]

Yes...the Fontana has the nickel hardware and the Sheene has antique brass hardware...

Wow. What is it about a Sheene? Just calls.... Loudly.
Say, is that the 'premium' HB collar? Looks a bit smaller than the std one...

 

[technovox]

Here's the Sheene with nickel hardware. Just for comparison.

 

[Fanch]

The Sheene is my favorite in that particular class of jackets.

This Russet Vicenza Full Grain Vegetable Tanned Sheene looks darn good! Our Vicenza Horsehide is a good option for customers who might want a slightly lighter leather jacket.
