Yes, Vicenza HH is beautiful. Really different from Horween but very much lived by me too. Can't wait to get my A2 in Dark seal Vicenza. I ordered it 1.5 months ago but Aero informed me they were going to get the leather from the Itallian tannery by the end of September. Not sure how long to wait more but it's not an issue to me. The wait period is also very pleasant. I'll post it as soon as it's arrived.

The new batch of Vicenza should come through in about a week--we have a lot of Vicenza orders that are waiting on this delivery!

Is there a difference between the Ridley and the Bootlegger, besides the side buckles and minor details? This Ridley looks like a Bootlegger to me.

There are quite a few differences, both in the fit and in the details! The Bootlegger is a half belt with a traditional fit (broad shoulders/chest to smaller waist) and the Ridley has a one-piece back (with kidney panel) with a slim fit (slim shoulders/chest, high arm holes, slim sleeves). They share the asymmetrical zipper and lapels, but they are really different jackets...

You can order a Premier fit Bootlegger, which has the same fit as a Premier Half Belt and the specs of a Bootlegger (see photo below for example of Premier Bootlegger)--

The wait is over (well, it wasn't even very long, but it feels like forever when you are waiting on jackets)!! Vicenza Horsehide is back in stock and we have jackets arriving shortly with many more in production...
