this natural horsehide is pretty amazing. i would have bought this if it were available when i bought my goat bootlegger - which i've since sold to buy the MF Campus Jacket. Re the evolution of this leather, check out evo photos of the Epaulet New York natural horsehide sneakers. I own a pair of these and love how they're coming along. here's a pic - new on the left, slightly aged on the right...

Didn't Lofgren do a pair of engineer boots to match?

Didn't Lofgren so a pair of engineer boots to match?

Lofgren made natural chromexcel cowhide boots which I have (and are amazing) and cognac badalassi cowhide boots that also darken with age.

Here's a photo that shows what 12 hours of Seattle Sun does to the Natural Vicenza Horsehide. As you can see, the horsehide turns a stunning Honey color when exposed to sunlight. We'll keep the sun on this swatch and keep people appraised of the color development.

Left Side = 0 Hours Sun Exposure; Right Side = 12 Hours Sun Exposure *These are only edge samples, so please ignore the scars.

For those who haven't seen the Natural Vicenza before, here's a photo from Friday (0 Hours Sun Exposure)--

Alright guys and gals, I received a fit jacket (hint: NOT a Teamster) that I've opted to keep. The thing fits. A review will be forthcoming.
Hint: it IS Vicenza.
Second hint: It's really, really nice!

 

[handymike]

Is it the above pictured Natural 7 ?????

So no natural vicenza jacket? (unless it is the seven??)

I've been stung by the fit jacket in the past as well....its damn hard sending back a jacket that fits well isn't it

Not the seven. Not natural.
I fully expected the fit jacket to be short everywhere but it fits! I'll reveal the secret soon.
