Lately after 2way zip and leather piped edge upgrade, I wear this thin denim mock up jacket a lot more than its cow hide twin. The tab on the back I usually put in my drawer and not faded, the jacket this past 8 years mostly hanging in my room actually fading that much only from indirect uv and air oxidation.... scary sun exposure we have here at higher elevation on the equator , my sofa cushions are also another clear example they went from terracota to pale yellow

That shade of brown is so beautiful, sleeve creases are on point. How is the shinki used on the caboose compare to the mulholland in terms of weight/feel?

Can't wait to see your new FW Bodie, that's such a cool pattern.
Thanks! I have to agree on the shade of brown. I could not wish for a better brown leather.

It feels less stiff than the Mulholland ever so slightly, but I really think that's just because I've worn this jacket so much and because the sleeves aren't too long now that I had them modified. The leather on this jacket is rather smooth and certainly less grainy overall than any Mulholland I've had.

I'm definitely excited for the Bodie. I'm hoping it gets redder sooner rather than later.

That brown is just nice and so rich in color, a proper medium brown for sure.

Got it, just wished they offered that hide for the Mulholland. I'll get one for sure lol

I'm appreciating the reddish brown colors more and excited to see how your jacket develops.

The Mulholland in Dead Leaf Brown would indeed be pretty amazing. I'd be tempted if I didn't already have this one.

Summer heat will be here tomorrow but was able to squeeze in the Vanson one more time earlier this week:

Very nice. Do you know what ID number or year that was made? I have one before they starting using ID numbers but after the old white label, so I'm guessing early 1980s. The leather seems a little different too and mine seems on the shorter side, although I'm just guessing since I don't know how tall you are. But great fit.
