This is cool, would love to see a fit pic sometime

Ask and ye shall receive (sorry for the not so great photos, but getting impatient family members to take pics is like herding cats)...

The jacket is superb and fits more snugly than it appears as it is starting to shape around me better. Its a midweight hide without a lining, which will drive this process a lot faster than a lined FQHH. Given the warm weather I've only been able to wear it indoors at night for a short time to get it moulded around me.

I am 5-10/175 and got a large so I'd have layering room if I wanted to extend its wearability time with a heavier shirt or sweater. I really like the contrast collar as well, though it is the same color as the roughed out hide around it.

Overall, its a nice piece that serves as a counterpoint to the much more polished-looking/less casual leather jackets I have in my closet.

Haha, I love it!

Also love seeing some Indigofera! and that pants + boots combo is just amazing :D would love to know more.

Cheers!
Thanks man, yeah everything they make is superb! The pants are actually Indigofera as well — the Kirk denim in ***powder and a size too big which I think works for the pattern/style. The boots are Flame Panda service boots in black CXL.

Wow yeah that was an excellent choice! I like the contrast collar as well and I think going to the large was the right move for comfortable layering. I look forward to seeing it age! The olive version looks really good too. Tempting!

Agreed, the color selection was a tough choice. Olive with dark jeans and a white/light colored tshirt and dark boots would be magnificent. Bespoke Post is very easy to work with; maybe order both, try them on and see which works better.

Or maybe keep both… ;)
