Nice Skip!
I want one!

 

[Skip]

Thanks B-Man, wearing it a lot lately and its taking on some character. Heading to the high country for a week so it should get some real wear

Skip how old is your ELC?

As for me,

I wrangled two horses who escaped the coral today and had to mend a fence and got a nice memory from it on my ELC monarch. a small surface level abrasion but not a tear through. I will say this horsehide is tough. would have went straight through lamb or perhaps a thinner goat hide. I will always remember this moment now when I look at it. ha. Thats using your gear.

 

[B-Man2]

It just adds character to your Monarch

That was exactly how I decided to look on things when me and the above BK were bitten by a dog, damn thing when straight through the leather and my arm, hardly think about it now though.

 

[B-Man2]

Well in that case .... The scars just added character to your arm!

 

[Skip]

Jeremiah, close on a year old. Like yourself I use these jackets doing most things

Dog rescue. They ran off around the lake and had to go hunt them down and bring them home. Not exactly Dunkirk but was wearing the ELC.

What lake is that; I am from Western MA also

 

[jeremiah]

It’s Norwich pond in Huntington.

Went to mount Buffalo Today, was 0'C at sunrise, and 17 at the Lake below where this was taken. Bk AN-J-3, wool Denim jeans and the dependable Landcruiser, gear to get you there, wherever there is

Actually caught a few hours of mid-40's F weather this morning.... Today, I'm wearing yet another Morgan Productions horsehide A-2. This one is a recent replacement for one I sorely regretted selling some time back.

These A-2's were a collaboration in the mid-1990's between the late Col. Robert K. Morgan (Pilot of the 'Memphis Belle'), his widow Linda Morgan, and the large Japanese army-war surplus company, Nakata Shoten. The 'Morgan Memphis Belle' A-2 is popular in Japan as a period-patterned Mid-level ($440.00 USD) A-2, currently available in both cow and horsehide. The HH is a dark seal brown, appears to be chrome-tanned, comfortable to wear when new, and at the upper limits of thickness for a 'proper' A-2.

The tagged size 44 gives me exactly the wartime cut and look I love in an A-2 for my 44" chest. The sleeves on both this, and the other one I had are a bit long. I have a new set of better quality knits on-hand, and will have the sleeves bobbed when installed....

Hard to see the horsehide's grain in the above pics.. Here's a couple:

Pilot if you are still in NC by weeks end there is a great airshow in Virginia Beach VA. The Military Aviation Museum hosts a show called warbirds over the beach.
A fantastic collection of WW2 vintage aircraft most of them in flying condition and period reenactors. It's a great weekend. And yes, you can fly in!
