So we are awaiting production release of our newest Horsehide Jacket - the Legendary Thoroughbred - when I get a call from the factory stating they do not have enough Italian horsehide skins to complete production of this jacket. We did have another production run of Black Stallions being made at the same time, and there wasn't enough skins for a full run of these jackets either! The
Black Stallion is our number one selling horsehide jacket, and we are out of sizes 36-46, so we need to have these made before the Thoroughbred. Unfortunately the turnaround time from Italian tanneries is about 3 months, so it looks as if the Thoroughbred will not make this Holiday shopping season, but should be ready for the 2010 riding season.
Thank you to all of our Customers who provided their feedback on what type of jacket they were looking for. We tried to include many of these features into the Thoroughbred - classic simple design with functional features for the everyday all-season rider. It features:
- 26" jacket length
- genuine front quarter heavyweight horsehide leather
- banded racer collar with snap closure
- bi-swing back with vented underarm footballs (gussets)
- side zippered sleeve cuffs
- clean, one-piece main back panel with dropped tail
- zippered twin handwarmer pockets & breast pockets
- inside vertical entry chest pocket with snap closure
- cell phone/smartphone pocket with snap closure
- removable, zip-out diamond quilted lining with anti-creep straps
- Union made in USA
As with our other horsehide jackets, these will be a true-fitting jacket, and will be available in Mens chest sizes 40-50. This jacket will probably give the Black Stallion a "run for the money" in terms of popularity.
