This jacket is an unlined Heron A-1 in brown suede. I slept in it outside with the dog on our porch swing bed for most of the fall. I'm wearing 666 in 25oz here and the hat is from HWDog, 'cause I needed a hat.

Love your Heron @profdbrk

A few shots of my new Avro. I’ve wanted one of these for what seems like a decade so was thrilled when my own finally arrived last Friday.

^ Gorgeous jacket buddy
-
Thanks! I'm thrilled with it.
-
Beautiful @BloodnThunder ! Is it made for you or a standard size? Looks custom
-
Thanks @steelworker ! I did go custom. I took measurements off my Mister Freedom ranch blouse and sent them fit photos of the jacket. Then had a call with Dave and Jasmine at Himel to go over some details. They made a few tweaks then got to work.

@58panheadfan @BloodnThunder @goosehd tagged y’all cause you seem to dig this Himel gear!!
I’ve been doing my homework and digging deep on factors such as style, quality of construction, leather quality, and desirability. I def wanted something that would be well made and have high value: enjoyment ratio. Mostly, I wanted a badass jacket at a great price. I just pulled the trigger on a Himel Canuck used on eBay for $1,300 USD. Denis had made a great point of the sort of depreciation / stabilization value of leather jackets. I think what I paid gets me close to a stable value point if I need to resell in a worse case scenario (I hope and hope not!!)
Enough of the justification jargon!! So stoked to be getting my first high end leather jacket!! I only have had a Harley Leather jacket before. It was a cool jacket. But I’m stoked to see what this Himel is all about!!!
-
Damn Denis!!! That pic just helped alleviate 95% of my buyers remorse!!! Looks incredible.
Im really hoping the sizing works out for me.The shoulders measure about .75 larger than my normal shirt size. The arm length is about spot on for my normal shirt length. The chest is right in the middle of my preferred range on a shirt/ jacket. Since this is a thicker leather I’m not exactly sure how that will all translate.
-
Yeah great piece and shot @goosehd , and you won't regret the garment unless it doesn't fit, @Mizmazzle ; in that case, I'm not sure what size you are but there would be a potential local buyer
-
Always good to have a Plan B!!! @mclaincausey
Hoping it works out and I can be buried in this thing!! No coffin. Just this jacket and straight into the ground!! Should keep me fresh for eons!
