Does anyone know who makes this jacket? The descriptions for several of the other leather jackets are very clear about where the jackets are made, but this one doesn't say. Is it Four Speed? Someplace else?

[popvulture]

@seawolf I'm pretty positive it's Four Speed, since it's just the rider version of the 35.

[goosehd]

My guess as well, but not 100% certain.

[weftyarn]

It is definitely Four Speed. Look at the tag in your left gun pocket

[seawolf]

@weftyarn Oh damn. lol

[seawolf]

[weftyarn]

Now that’s a perfect fit @seawolf

[seawolf]

@weftyarn Thank you sir! I'm trying to wear the crap out of it, and it's working because it doesn't look so new and shiny anymore. It's still creaking though

[weftyarn]

Can definitely relate. This thing only gets better as it loses some of the shine and conforms to the body with wear

A little teacore popping through over 25oz. I realize that the photo isn’t very clear. What almost looks like a highlight is actually the teacore showing. Is that coming across on your screens?

@seawolf coming across, looking good!

[weftyarn]

there you go @seawolf
great progress and love the picture the horse hanging on the door. Starting to lose the shine and showing some texture, right?

[seawolf]

@weftyarn Yes! It's very textured now, way less shiny, and starting to soften up some. Bits of teacore are popping up here and there, and definitely slowly breaking in overall. It's going to take a long time, but this jacket is going to age like a fine wine.

[seawolf]

@tody That's good to hear. I kept looking at the image after I posted it and it looked a little like an optical illusion.

In terms of rugged durability is the horsehide leather jacket more or less durable than the split steerhide type III jacket?

[Giles]

Not sure that anyone has been able to trash either yet......
