SB V2 in bull Mahogany. It's just arrived and is a thing of beauty.

Some photos of the new SB V2. The actual colour is the darker orange shade (the camera does weird things to colours). I modified it by getting Oakland-style sleeves as I have several button-up cuffs on other jackets. Stitching is tight and uniform. Although it is heavy, the Blattwerk is pliable and the weight is well-distributed across the neck and shoulders so that it doesn't 'hang'. I went for an open double-welt chest pocket and one inner snap-closure one. I'm really impressed with this jacket. Thanks to Debs and Moira.

@zebedee Wow the Blattwerk leather looks fantastic and such a beautiful grain. Great jacket! I got Blattwerk samples from SB back in 2017 but the samples did look different than your jacket which was a main reason why I decided not to order a jacket....now it appears that it was a wrong decision.

This Blattwerk is steer/bull - I have samples of the Blattwerk horsehide, too: I am told that the mahogany steer and horse look the same...

It's a nice hide :)
