Looks great in the sunshine, D.  The block check flannel definitely goes well with the Himel too.

This looked and felt a whole lot tighter in person.

Would love to have one of these hair on hide herons.

[davito]

Q and Friday thx guys

Chiba J, they look great on you, outstanding. Admire both of these awesome jackets, which is your fav? Oh man killer jackets wow. Great combo with your pants Sir

[Chiba J.]

Thanks Davito. I think your Canuck may be my favorite!

The Score racing shirt was at least one size too small, so hard to get a feel for. The hair on hide heron fit perfect, and I really like that jacket. I'm really tempted by that one. Would like to see a pointed collar and not-black hair version.

[davito]

The hair on hide looks indeed spectacular on you, have you tried the canuck too? I am very happy with it

[Finn666]

dope fits chiba j. …

[Chiba J.]

Thanks guys. Yes, I tried on the Canuck, and liked it a lot. It's a toss up for me between DH Canuck and FW Brakeman.

I had been looking for a slightly longer engineer/railroad/chore style leather jacket for awhile.  Last Fall, RRL released the Stratton.  It fit the bill and I pulled the trigger.  Then, in December, Nick posted photos of his new Himel Canuck in brown Shinki.  The jacket was/is epic and I was awestruck.  Unfortunately, I had just purchased the Stratton, which was also dark brown.  Therefore, I contemplated a black Canuck.  I discovered that Himel was attending Inspiration in February.  Therefore, I went to Inspiration to meet the master and seal a deal for a black Canuck.  Himel had a black Canuck at Inspiration in my size.  As I was trying it on, Nick pulled up wearing his brown Canuck.  Damnnnnnnnnn!  Nick's jacket was an order of magnitude more stunning in person.  Now I was really regretting buying the brown Stratton.  Thus, I pulled the trigger on a black Canuck.  While I was waiting for Himel to make my black Canuck, I could not stop obsessing over Nick's brown Canuck.  My Stratton no longer fit the bill.  Thus, I sold my Stratton and ordered a brown Canuck from Himel to join my black Canuck.

Himel's Canuck is based on a 1910 Shanhouse and Sons railroad workers jacket.

I recently received my black Canuck.  I love this jacket.  The black Shinki is fantastic . . . sturdy and rugged, yet not excessively rigid, with a wonderfully subtle grain.  The stitching and craftsmanship are first rate.  Most importantly, the jacket fits light a glove.  Now, I am on the edge of my seat waiting for the brown Canuck.

Looks great and you'd have to be happy with that fit.  Amazed that you actually ordered two!

Beautiful jacket, careful with the shinki if your rough On your jackets though. It is a gorgeous leather but it's finishing takes a beating QUICK. My Kensington looked 10 years old in <6 months
