What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

Thank you.

This is black, but the teacore makes it take on a brown-ish hue.

There is a very nice veg-tan in a cognac coloured brown as well. The add-on on the standard hides is substantial, but I got a pretty good deal via a local retailer.

I’ve read the upcharge to veg tan can be significant but hey, if your going you may as well go balls deep!

Well, judge for yourself:

- The Corsair in the standard cow/horse is EUR 1.658,- via LL webpage
- The veg-tan cow version arrives at a staggering EUR 2.346,-

I got the jacket (plus one inside pockets which would have been an extra ca. EUR 30) for EUR 1.999,-

The leather is really spectacular (assuming you are into a grainy vegetable tanned leather at all as opposed to the much more robust shiny chrome-tanned hides, LL is famous for) and easily en par with the kind of shinki hh, RMC or Freewheelers uses or have been using.
On the other hand, an extra of EUR 700 just for a "nice hide" is something else. Especially considering, that LL used to do really affordable jackets (the "European Schott"....).
