Good Wear Leather and Himel Bros. Leather have collaborated on a series of Ventura half-belt jackets. Using our
Ventura pattern, the jackets have been made to a superb degree of quality and materials. The jackets are an easy
fit in the right size, and look great. John Chapman and David Himel have been friends since 2008, and have planned
this collaboration for several years.
We have four jackets right now, and will be ordering more. All are size 44. Three are black Shinki tea-core
horsehide, and one is dark seal pigment Shinki horsehide. Each is made with a light khaki cotton drill lining
that has black cotton in the sleeves. The main zippers are reproduction late M-42 Talons and the chest zippers
are Waldes brand ball chains, both in nickel.
The Shinki horsehide is a bit smooth when new, but develops grain throughout with use, and looks great. This horsehide
is thick, but comfortable, and the more the jacket is worn, the more flexible it gets. The jacket shown on this
sale page is dark brown.
The workmanship of Himel Bros. is wonderful, and we have more plans to collaborate with new patterns as well. For
more information about Himel Bros., please view their web site. Photographs will show the build quality of each
jacket, but the pleasant odor of Shinki's tanning method will have to be experienced in person.
This jacket will ideally fit a person who is 5'11" to 6'2", with a chest circumference of 43-44", and weight of
190-210 pounds. The sleeves on these jackets are made a bit long, but with the creasing of the leather at the
elbows, the sleeves will ride up a little.
