This today.

I really wanted to try the natural HH, Aero used for their Epaulet-collaboration, so I specced a Premier HWM. I asked for Board-Racer cuffs (...), but due to some misunderstanding or perhaps me not making myself clear was told that this was not possible for this style.

I got the jacket mid July and was really happy. Only days later, Ton posted his masterpiece, Board-Racer zips and all. This was how I ended up ordering the twin.

The photo isn’t terribly good, but the colour comes across pretty accurate. Three weeks of wearing it hard (and not babying it, which would be useless as the hide is a stain-magnet) have done miracles to the optics.

Looks great!
Mine is a half belt- same hide. Simply marvelous!!

Went to watch the Perseid meteor shower last night, so the perfect opportunity to don an ELC Irvin, shame it was cloudy.

My new/old swedish goatskin today. Leather is awesome on this one as well and I love the color.

That is such a beautiful jacket! Great looking leather and the color is

Why can I never find old Swedish goat jackets like that?!

Thank you. They really are underrated and special in my opinion. I bought both of mine from the same ebay seller and he seems to have some from time to time. Leather quality is awesome if you like wild grain and they are soft and supple to wear.

You inspired me to go on the bay and look again! One more jacket on the way

I was going to send you the link to that one if the measurements are good it will really suit your slender build.

Is that natty veg tan? I bought a pair of boots in that leather, and it really is a stain magnet. I’ve had a little success cleaning spots with alcohol or water... tried ivory dish soap it’s okay. Put a little wax and conditioner on them when I first got them because the leather seemed dry, but it didn’t seem to help protect it much in the stain department. I think I would have like natural cxl better, at least in the short run... but I’ll see how this ages. It does develop a patina rather quickly.

Love a leather jacket on the beach.

Only a fraction of the joy of living in Edinburgh

Thank you @Tom71 for the addictional pics.
And i spelled that correctly!!
If one could choose only two jackets to own i believe your pair of midnight blue and Natural Aeros would sate me ad infinium!!
Makes me wanna sell my precious ones and start ordering.
Except the Cal and the Antique Steer and....well you get the idea!

I just wish these two will satisfy me for at least a little while.... If I want to break them in as they deserve, there will be no more jackets this year.

Yes, I know. Yours was actually the jacket that inspired me to specifically ask for this hide. There are a few "natural" leathers around, but all seem to age differently. I really was after this sepcific quality, and so far I am really happy about the process.

Yes, it is. I actually don´t mind the staining at all. It´s just part of the process. I am positive the jacket will look really good (and will finally become "my jacket") once it gets a little beaten and rugged.

Incidentally, I bought a pair of "*****&Shoulders"-Boots last year in a natural veg-tan leather. It reacts very similar to the hide of the jacket, so it may well be the same tanning method.

In regards to natural vegetable tan leather my advice is just to accept the stains. There's really no avoiding them. They even get stained from water, so there's really nothing to be done about it. After a while, as they acquire patina and stains, all of the individual stains just merge into beautiful character and patina.

Looks like leather jacket and wet suit temperatures at Belhaven Bay.

Ocean Water Temps at 58 degrees does sound a bit chilly @jonesy86 ... the ocean is into the mid 70's around my island..

I used to surf Pease Bay and occasionally Durness in winter. Madness. I love this climate

Ah yes, my roots go way back on your island. My people came there in the 1850s for want of potatoes on another island. I would head to Jones Beach wearing my Lauhala hat.

Smoke on your pipe and put that in.
