I second this ^ opinion. This jacket has the nicest leather I have ever owned, and the construction is flawless. The best bit, winter is just starting for us and I'll get to wear it! Our 'winter' is sporadic, the cool spells only last from 2 to 6 days and we get warm days again so I'll never get to wear this jacket continuously but it is a joy to wear whenever I get the chance.

I love mine too. I want it in brown to complete my jacket collection.

Thanks guys.

I read the thread and I was meaning to ask you about the SE version. Is it the same leather? The pictures look so different. Your jacket looks more natural compared to for example the pics in the shop where the jacket almost looks latex kinky
@Sam  no offense, I love your work

It’s not really that shiny is it?

Same tannage, different horse…...

It’s not as shiny as the pics on the website, but it does shine a bit. Less so with time.

This is mine in direct sunlight when it was a few days old.

@Signal11  - I had mine on today so I snapped two quick Iphone pics to show you how it looks. Mine is the Selfedge version. The leather has a shine to it for sure but in real life it is less shiny than it appears in these two pics. Today we had a completely overcast day. I wonder if that contributes to the exagerated shininess? This jacket is a year old but gets only occasional use.

[Signal11]

Thanks guys for taking the effort to post pics!
Certainly looks less shiny and great fits too!

[Sam]

We're going to be working on some less kinky pics of the leather today (hopefully) @Signal11

One of the guys working at SENY told me that the quality of leather used in their version is a bit better than that used in the non-SelfEdge version.  He didn't say exactly how they differed, though.

[Giles]

I think he is a little confused.  Because that is completely inaccurate, what part of that makes any sense at all.?

Must've been Belgian…

[sabergirl]

Probably just trying to make a sale. Silly

[Dion]

Not a cool move trying to make a sale with such a bold claim at the expense of the original IH product.

[Sam]

The leather in daylight… a bit of shadow and a bit of direct sun.

Great look and fit @Alex… that is YOUR jacket

Thanks, @Chap
I asked Giles for a discount earlier, but it didn't work
