    @Signal11:

    Thanks guys.

    @Dstauffer
    I read the thread and I was meaning to ask you about the SE version. Is it the same leather? The pictures look so different. Your jacket looks more natural compared to for example the pics in the shop where the jacket almost looks latex kinky [emoji55]
    @Sam  no offense, I love your work [emoji4]

    @motojobobo  @DrBabyhorse
    It’s not really that shiny is it?

    It’s not as shiny as the pics on the website, but it does shine a bit. Less so with time.

    This is mine in direct sunlight when it was a few days old.

      @Signal11  - I had mine on today so I snapped two quick Iphone pics to show you how it looks. Mine is the Selfedge version. The leather has a shine to it for sure but in real life it is less shiny than it appears in these two pics. Today we had a completely overcast day. I wonder if that contributes to the exagerated shininess? This jacket is a year old but gets only occasional use.

      The journey is the objective.

        Thanks guys for taking the effort to post pics!
        Certainly looks less shiny and great fits too! 😎

          We're going to be working on some less kinky pics of the leather today (hopefully) @Signal11

            @Giles:

            Same tannage, different horse…...

            One of the guys working at SENY told me that the quality of leather used in their version is a bit better than that used in the non-SelfEdge version.  He didn't say exactly how they differed, though.

              I think he is a little confused.  Because that is completely inaccurate, what part of that makes any sense at all.?

                  Probably just trying to make a sale. Silly

                    Not a cool move trying to make a sale with such a bold claim at the expense of the original IH product.

                      The leather in daylight… a bit of shadow and a bit of direct sun.

                                  A better representation of the shine of the leather.

                                    Great shots @Sam - they capture the look much better IMO. This beauty has supplanted all others as my go-to leather jacket.

                                      I would like to think that he was repeating information he obtained from someone else and not trying to directly swindle me.  But I didn't need a sales pitch since I had already made up my mind to buy the jacket before I entered the store and wanted to try in on in person to make sure it fit.

                                      Now I'm interested in having more information regarding the leather.  The IH website simply says "Chrome tanned horsehide from a tiny tannery in Himeji".

                                          I would, but I can't remember which one it was.  Of course, I would never forget who it was if you told me something  :-*.
