          Looks so good, man!

          I still want one of these, bummed that the XL ended up being so tight on me. What size did you get, @endo ? Definitely will be checking the measurements if these come around again — I guess could be the first thing I buy an XXL in.

            thanks @popvulture this is an XXL, I was fortunate to be able to try it on at the anni party in Gosport, and it just fitted. actually didn't plan to buy a leather jacket, but with the party discount and this wonderful material it was an easy decision

              Right on! Looks like a perfect fit on you. I'll definitely keep my eyes peeled for a restock of these — I love aging veg-tan leather.

                  Welp, after obsessing over this particular leather for a couple years, months on months of conversations with Deb at SB (sweetest gal ever), learning that they won't be using this specific leather anymore, and being ready to pull the trigger on a custom SB build...decided I must have the last size large in this jacket....potentially the last available in this exact leather. Click, click....and BANG!!

                            @Mizmazzle man congrats! But also that's a huge bummer they won't be using this leather anymore — did she say anything about a replacement?

                              @popvulture i feel exactly the same as you about the leather. I’ve been dreaming about a jacket of this leather for so long. Finally was ready to make a custom Tailgunner happen. After lots of talking with Deb over the last year or so I told her I was ready. But she mentioned they were having QC issues with the tannery that made that leather so they aren’t using them anymore. She sent me samples of the new natural leathers they are currently working with to see if I wanted to try one of those. None of the samples was what I was hoping for.

                              I stapled them to the fence for a couple weeks to see how they would age:

                              image.jpg

                              image.jpg

                              Same order both pics:
                              Left: Mustang Natural
                              mid: Steerhide natural
                              Right: Blattwerk Natural horse hide

                              Didn’t like the way the mustang aged color wise. Same with the steer. The Blattwerk is really soft and kinda spongy. Not the texture I wanted in this jacket, though it seems very nice and easy to wear. Actually the Blattwerk had the best water resistance. Got a fair amount of rain over the two and a half weeks pegged to the fence. The blattwerk is still soft and really smooth. The others are a bit crunchier. They are as wrinkly as they are because I was twisting and pinching and manipulating the leather on all the samples everyday.

                              All said and done. I really wanted the old Natty HH used in the earlier jackets. Soooo….

                              Love the soft velvety hand of this leather. Just gorgeous!!

                                  Fantastic jacket. Would love to get this.
                                  @Alex - are these due to restock any time soon?
