Ah, great! Thanks very much.

They must be customise, right?! From the looks of it, you added quite a bit of extra length to the OTR pattern.
Did you order via the online-shop, or did you have yourself measured up somewhere? Also, is that the standard fit, or the new (“STF”) A-shaped cut?

Lot of questions, I know, but it’s still to see the Lightning in the veg-tan cowhide.

Yes this was customized jacket, done around maybe late 2020 early 2021? Yes it's a bit longer than the vintage Lightnings. It was a tight fit 391 I had altered just a bit more size 38. The order was done through The Stronghold, they sent it over to Lewis Leathers in London, took about 3-4 months for me to get it.

Thank you. I didn’t even appreciate that the veg-tan cow was around that long. Beautiful hide, especially when you see it in the flesh. Too bad about the very hefty upcharge.

Something quite different today.

German Airforce Bomber. This is the „upgraded” version in goatskin.

Nothing special, but a nice casual piece with a certain “edge”. They are quite inexpensive, especially if you source used army issues (with the flag patch on the shoulders).

Grain and colour depth on this cordovan fqhh is out of this world.

Beautiful coat - the color is so rich looking which conveys taste and style. I have a 2016 version LHB in Cordovan CXL Steer but the color is not quite as red as yours but still nice.

The longer style coats work well especially if one is on the taller side which is why I prefer them.

Thanks for posting this beauty.
