Aero D-Pocket Ridley, size 38, Blackened Brown Vicenza Horsehide

$ 2,099.99

A gorgeous custom jacket from Thurston Bros. Rough Wear!  This is an Aero D-Pocket Ridley in Blackened Brown Vicenza Horsehide, size 38.  Extra features make this a distinctly custom jacket: D-pocket front configuration, Olive Drab stitching, nickel hardware, Paisley Ancient lightweight wool Lochcarron tartan, cotton sateen in sleeves, left side interior pocket with no closure, and zip-sleeve cuffs.  All pockets are lined with velvety soft, yet super durable moleskin.

This jacket is brand new with tags.  The Vicenza Horsehide leather is medium weight, so it doesn't have much of a physical break in (compared to Chromexcel FQHH).  The Blackened Brown Vicenza is a unique color combination--it is a Dark Seal Vicenza HH with a Black overdye.  The initial result is a warm black color that will develop dark brown wear as the jacket breaks in over years of weathering!
