Never get tired of seeing that one, Burt. Thanks for sharing your collection.

It’s also pretty cold here, so it’s time to break out the shearling. GW B-6 and ELC officer pinks.

@mulceber -- Jan, it snowed here Monday and it's supposed to be in the 70s Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday! Not headed your way?

It's been so cold here, I almost pulled out the N-3B. Glad I didn't put the A-2s away yet.

Indeed ! I had an outdoor planning meeting this morning and I was the only Floridian dressed for the windchill in my 70’s Star G1 and Pike Bros watch cap, sorry no pics though . That Aero is a real gem Burt

So I'm told - it's supposed to be in the low-mid 70s here all weekend. This summer's weather just keeps coming back like Jason Vorhees!

Burt: Thanks so much!
I think the color looks even better in the photo than real life (but no manipulation by me).

Thanks Dany!
Just to be clear, the color is really beautiful in real life too. I think I just don't get to see it that much in full sun.

John,

What leather JC used on this one? And is it based on an original, I mean the leather and color?

Here is what JC said about the leather: "This is a jacket that tested a goatskin format I used on the Pritzker that you have, but I applied brown dye, and then a finish. It's quite different, in that the color is darker, but it also edge-wears in a super cool manner. The stuff looks like it's 80 years old, and I've got about 12 hours of wearing time so far." I think @mulceber might know more about the leather. From what I remember, it is from a tannery in NJ or PA.

Here is a link to photos of the original that John used for the pattern.

John, so the skin is actually goat, I was leaning toward horse but its interesting seeing goat in that finish. It will only get better with wear!

Thanx.

@entertainment Ah, is it that Gloversville, NY goatskin? If so it's the same stuff on my Switlik. Either way, very cool!
