Haha yep! DHL lost them for like a month, then they actually delivered them back to Marc. Then he sent them again using another service this time
That's great news and a great haul! The trucker fits you nearly as good as the Dickies one.
That is jacket perfection, but that shirt steals the show for me though. Love the casual look and fit of it.
Thanks! I love a good chambray shirt. It's a fabric that works so perfectly under leather jackets.
Thanks, your vicenza type 3 inspired me to get a natty one. I think the end results will be similar, some darken honey shade. Going slow on this one, not adding anything just see where it takes me. Be back in about a year to show progress.
You look cool with a box, I haven't seen such a photo here. A trucker is a rare jacket, I especially like it.
John Lofgren Monkey Boots Shinki Horsebuttt - $1,136 The classic monkey boot silhouette in an incredibly rich Shinki russet horse leather. 
Grant Stone Diesel Boot Dark Olive Chromexcel - $395 Goodyear welted, Horween Chromexcel, classic good looks. 
Schott 568 Vandals Jacket - $1,250 The classic Perfecto motorcycle jacket, in a very special limited-edition Schott double rider style. How much does a jacket like this cost? Might even visit toys mccoy in tokyo
Yes, the natural Vicenza is nice but the contrast between that and the Raw horsehide is rather dramatic and I would wonder how the Raw HH would fair with casual wear and picking up every bit of grime. It appears the Raw doesn't have any type of treatment or topcoat to the hide. I'm sure the jacket will transition into a spectacular example of uniqueness that will negate any concern about the vulnerability to dirt/grime. It will be a fun year for you as the jacket matures. Here is a link to the Iron Heart site where they have a forum for those who have a Raw HH Type III - https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/t...ns-bilt-natural-horsehide-type-iii-jacket/203 - hopefully this does not breach any forum rules/restrictions. Lots of images of Raw HH in transition.
I like both and believe they are different enough to justify keeping both… at least at this time.
I am not a fan of the dirt and grime either. The plan is to give it a wipe down / brushing as often as needed. The raw horsehide already picked up darken spots from the copper buttons, but I wiped them down already. That IH jacket actually turned out ok in the long run imo, only the begining there was a bit of scare with all that denim transfer and some grimes. I bought a bag used, made from raw horsehide, and the seller told me all he did was wipe down whenever it got dirty. There is still gonna be some darker grain spots I suppose but overall it shouldn't scream garbage find. At least that's my best hopes, only time will tell. This is what I want to achieve in a bout a year or two time, Fingers crossed...
Is this a recent addition? One of my favorite jackets and hide. Love mine. The red wool lining is awesome. As are the top of sleeve zips.
Thank you! Yeah the sleeves are more than adequate on this one. They’re actually plenty long on the other one too, but the zipper determines whether they go all the way to the knuckles or stop at the wrist which is cool.
Toys McCoy makes it and it really is a stellar jacket. TMJ2417 - Durable Code 33
I couldn’t stop wondering how the next size up would fit by comparison so I had to do a side by side. And I was hoping there would be an immediate winner but both are great and now I’m just very conflicted haha
Thanks man yeah the smaller one feels like it was tailored to my frame but I really like the slightly oversized fit on this one. I’ll end up keeping one and listing the other in the classifieds
