Happy to see you like this jacket. Again, perfect fit.

It does indeed bring me joy.

And we’ve had a few more cold days than I expected so it’s actually getting good use.

Aero Sheene. Fire is burning but getting on motorcycle in a few...55 f. here today!

Looks great. The more I see the Sheene the more it strikes me a such a good everyday driver.

What’s the leather? Is it Vicenza?

I'm in love with this Kehoe that just arrived!
I'm posting these here for those who might appreciate the fringe.
I will be giving it a "haircut" this week and using the fringe strips as zipper pulls.

 

[Psant25]

Oh man keep that fringe looks killer on u !

 

[handymike]

Thanks! If I were in a band, I would.
but I'm a fairly "under the radar" style guy.

I think the fringe is cool.

 

[dubpynchon]

The fringe is hilariously over the top, from the back you look like some kind of hairy animal. Keep it!

Great fit! You might need to get a few more jackets though to give use to that many zipper pulls. Or start an Etsy shop to sell them.

 

[handymike]

I’ll send them to whomever wants one so that all can share in the joy.

The whole jacket feels Perfect. Shoulders actually measure 17.25” across. It’s fairly lightweight- perfect for LA.

 

[Will Zach]

Perfect.

Is it this jacket?

I was going to say thats a lot of pulls, zipper pulls for all! I know I could use some. I was going to pick up some scrap but this is even better

Send me a PM in a week and I’ll let you know if I was courageous enough to do it.

Yup, Vicenza in russet...very easy to wear.

@handymike - if you just cut off the fringes won't their "stubs" be still visible? Or are you going to open up the seams and just remove them? I love this Kehoe as it has no kidney panel, bi-swing shoulders or side zippers. I like the hand warmer pockets. Killer jacket if the fringes are removed without a trace. May be easier said than done.

 

[handymike]

I agree, this is almost a Buco J-100, but with handwarmers that close downward. I think I can carefully slip a metal straight edge under the seam to get a close trim...I’m slightly hesitant, but other than a Midnight Cowboy costume it won’t get any wear with the fringe.
