A new Fine Creek Leathers model is here, our first band collar jacket in quite a while. The Erie model is made from a 1.5mm black tea-core dyed Shinki Tannery horsehide. Fine Creek makes some of the most beautiful horsehide jackets we've seen. Using a vegetable tanned Shinki Japanese horsehide, which ages in a fairly fast manner, they cut and sew these jackets in their own studio in Tokyo. The quality of stitching is as good as it gets for a leather jacket, and we've not seen many jackets age as well as these do. Depending on the panel they'll use a different type of stitch thread and thread count to achieve puckering in certain areas for added character. Now at all stores.
