@jeo , it looks great.

Just unboxed the 613 in Horse. So now I have two 613's all of the sudden. Anyway, 10/10 jacket as far as I am concerned.

This jacket needs to be given full life and it will thank you with its embodiment.

Terrific job done by @iknowleather , sleeves shortened, epaulets removed.

All I probably need is a good halfbelt.

@HoosierDaddy & @Monitor Thanks!

There are many nice cross zips out there by many makers, but there's still nothing like the original. Ace jacket, ace fit! Well done man!

I thought it is fc at first sight, of course it looks much better than fc.

A very soft and very lightweight batch of brown CXL. I’ll have to get better shots of the hide. It feels like vic weight wise but has all of CXL’s lovely pull up properties.

Thank you, I'm not familiar with Vicenza but I think I get what you mean. Is it steer or horse? Seriously thinking of getting a brown cal for my next JL or aero jacket. Thanks

 

[J Leather Investigater]

Exactly. So nice, I can’t believe it’s changed hands like it has. Definite keeper for me. Thicker than I imagined Shinki would be. More than the norm I bet. I’m glad your popeye arms didn’t work with it.

Lol, yep - got that nickname while I was still a child

 

[J Leather Investigater]

Finished this cross zip for a lady friend. Overall improving and learned some critical lessons...The lining material is more premium than the hide. The hide is the same that Schott uses, Italian smooth horse. Lining is Harris.

Heck yeA, I'm gonna need to order one once I see the right pattern

This is FQHH. Vic is a much lighter hide but this CXL isn’t much heavier than Vic at all. Generally speaking, I prefer steer or cow. Ironically I only have one of those in the closet now. This HWM is really soft CXL. Won’t stand up on its own. It’s the epitome of drape. I’ve had dozens upon dozens of CXL jackets. No two are ever alike. Keeps it interesting.

Got it, thank you. I noticed the feeling of that drape when I tried on a naked cow at JL and that was very pleasant to wear. I'll probably opt for a brown cxl steer next time then.
