This Comipel HH is what is listed as unfinished HH at Aero. It has always existed in parallel with Vicenza.

What Mr Proper said. It is just their unfinished / raw horsehide, Comipel Italy is the tannery name.
Super!
Yes, I saw that option and do recall that Canuck Panda commissioned/received a jacket in that hide. I think he posted an image of the back along with a few others. Thanks for your input.
As I replied to Mr. Proper - same here. Really nice hide although I'd be petrified to wear something so capable of picking up anything just by wearing it. The pale green slacks/trousers/pants/(shorts??) do look festive and complement the tone of the jacket.

The lighter shade does pick up a lot of dirt and marks very easily, even the copper buttons leave dark marks on the jacket. However, things do settle down with time. I find this shade of leather works really well with olive pants too.

1952 Monarch Steerhide motorcycle jacket. Purchased from a member from the great state of Missouri. He Purchased this jacket at a gas station in Sturgis South Dakota from the original owner who bought it in 1952. The only jacket I have from my birth year.

It is a Special Jacket for me. The history always add to the character of a Jacket, gives a place in time. I do have a Sears bought in 1951, but this is the only jacket that has a reference to my birth year, 1952.
It is rare to get a story with the jacket.. I don't ask much anymore. I'd be curious if some one got it at a thrift store for $20. That too, is a great story.
Thanks for being the last leg of the Journey for this Monarch. I say that because the fit and features are so correct for me. Hard to find or replace at any cost.

Old school bathroom photos with the Vanson C2 firmly secured, fits nice and feels like it’s going to be easy to wear . Time will tell if this one knocks my Schott 118 off the pedestal I placed it on., but my initial thought is that this one wears better unzipped.
And yes, that is indeed a pair of shorts. Haha
