      @PJS Here is an article from Heddels that explains tanning processes and terminology used associated with tanning:

      https://www.heddels.com/2020/12/stuffed-liqoured-oiled-leather-processing-terms-know/

      I will add more information as I find the appropriate resources.

            @PJS You are welcome. Here is another article discussing leather grades: https://www.heddels.com/2014/06/overview-guide-leather-grades/

            There is quite a bit of information to work through, but all are essential to understanding some of the terminology used.

              This IHJ-129-BRN is "premium vegetable tanned horsehide" that has been "pigment dyed brown - meaning that once the pigment fades out, the natural leather will begin to show underneath."

                  THIS.IS.AMAZING.

                  It is a jacket out of this world - that horsehide is something else. Buttery soft right from the start. The colour is beautiful, I was a little hesitant to get a brown leather jacket first.
                  I think I nailed the fit with my (shirt size) XXL. Sleeve length is spot on, shoulders and chest, too. Waist feels a little restrictive when zipped up, but not too bad.

                      @tody I was really hoping your posts on the sale thread meant this was happening. Looks great on you!

                              @tody ordered one as well during the sale (yet to arrive because I was 1 of the 100 who's order also included a hem job). I can only hope mine fits half as well as yours. fan-freaking-tastic
