Beautiful photo, Lorenzo. The hide looks glorious in the sunlight, what is that if I may ask?

Looks like Italian horsehide. I'm not sure what tannery though.

Edit: Sorry...looks like it's Shinki, not Italian.

Had a feeling that might just be the case Coolhand, when I saw that slight pebble like grain. Really beautiful.

Thanks, @CK90. It's Shinki horsehide. The picture does not do it justice. It's a lot better "in the flesh".

Thanks, Burt. This jacket is starting to break in nicely and is a joy to wear. It's a keeper.

I’m guessing that parachute harnesses and hanging upside down in seat straps, while doing loops tends to accelerate the break in process
