Happy patinaeringBreaking-in/Suntanning the new Y2 „Saddlehorse“ jacket after finally admitting to myself that one size up just doesn’t work for me. Expensive mistake!
This leather is incredible. Eats Conipel „unfinished“ for breakfast and even Y2s very nice Kakishibu is no match.

Heck yes! Yours fits you every bit as well as mine fits me, if not better! That older C2 pattern is just magic.Vintage Vanson C2 just came in. This may be the best-patterned Perfecto-style jacket out there. Soo comfortable. Perfect length. The cowhide is thick and soft. TFL-ers looking for a nice cross-zip really should give the C2 a chance. @dudewuttheheck has already showed what a great jacket it is, for not a lot of dinero. Weirdly, a lot used ones come out of Japan; new ones can be had from Vanson..

I just received this Buco J81 from @jeo who picked it up in person from the first owner.
Not only is it my best fitting Buco so far, it is also one of my nicest.
I always thought that steerhide Buco's are inferior to horsehide ones as my steerhide J82 isn't nearly as nice as my earlier horsehide Buco's. This steerhide J81 proves me wrong.
The leather feels just as thick and sturdy as some of my vintage hh jackets and it comes with great color depth and beautiful graining.
Thanks @jeo for letting me have this one.

My oldest sons wedding today. It was a 50's-mobster themed wedding. I said "I think I might have something that will work" The @regius square pocket, cap and a tie and I'm the talk of the party. I said "but I dress like this everyday" and my son said " yes, and you look like a mobster most days", smart ass!
