Damn man and I thought I had tree problems! LOL! That's a shame! That root ball is huge...how old was she?
I wish I knew. Huge oak. Trunk is massive...doesn't look that big in the pic. Between a transformer blowing up and multiple trees going down it was like being in a movie last night. Backyard saw some action!

Little big on me as I expected (It is actually not a bad fit considering my weight) but I don't care.
Weight 5.7 lbs, it is their 3oz horsehide, very intense grain, most excited jacket I have so far.

Looks good to me. You hit a home run...maybe TM just set it on a tee for you but still a home run.

Going down to 70° F tonight so, I had to break out the GW Arcadia Italian horsehide, and throw on a Stetson Whippet.

Anything under 25°C is leather jacket weather for me, 25 and higher the jacket comes off, 30°C plus then it’s shorts and a T-shirt

Vanson model C. I love the simplicity of this jacket. Would’ve been cool if Vanson outfitted the back with buckles like a model B. This back is identical to a B but with a belt and loops. Taking little one to Malificent today so we’ll see how good it is at candy smuggling. Some pics, as I exit the galaxy hopper...

So this arrived yesterday. Aero „Team“ Board Racer in black Vicenza leather (size 44). One of these impulse buys where you can’t be sure how they work out.

I have been having a lot of fun today wearing it around town for sure. The fit is good, IMO. At first I thought, I could do with a slightly shorter body, but after a day of wear I am good as it is. The zipper starts exactly at my belt, so there is really not that much room for debate.
The cut is really slim. Still, shoulders and P2P would allow for some layering, but the armholes are cut so high that even a shirt is not really comfortable (I tried an Iron Heart Western shirt).

The leather sure wasn’t love at first sight. I am absolutely sold for Horweenˋs heavy stuff (which Aero couldn’t do on the „Team“ BR), so initially I thought the Vicenza looks and feels inferior. Again after wearing it all day (in a strange mix of windy, rainy autumn and spells of sunshine with high humidity) I am reconsidering. It’s certainly an easy-wearing, comfortable leather that was pretty soft out of the box and loosened up already after a few hours wear-time.

So I am really keen on your guys feedback. I knew this order was a gamble, but on Day 1 I am pretty happy with it.
