My new Bill Kelso Relic Hunter "Cairo" (and a comparison)

[Duck9000]

Hi guys,

A few days ago I received my new Bill Kelso Relic Hunter (Cairo) and last weekend I had my first aventure with it . My wife and I went to the lake district for a R&R days

Anyway, here a few pics

Reaydy for adventure


Lake at dawn




I found something


Hat: Adventurebilt pure rabbit Raiders; shirt: Magnoli (Raiders); Bag WG MK VII; Strap, Makeitjones. And that's it (pants North Face & boots La Sportiva)


Thanks to mi wife for the nice pics!

This is my fourth jacket, but my first Kelso.

I love the drape, the color and the leather: absolutely butter soft.

Here a quick comparison with my last Wested. SL ROTLA Hero.

Specs:

Wested:
Size 42
Pit to pit 23
Shoulders 21
Sleeve Length: 24.5
Back Length: 23.5

Bill Kelso:
Standard 42
pit to pit 23 1/2
shoulders 20 3/4
back 23 1/2
sleeve 25 3/4







I don't know why, but Wested is a little bit wider than the new one (This is the "real life" color)


Strange, but sleeves are similar in length

I hope you like it!

And appreciate your comments, of course

Thanks!

Very nice, and good pics too! Since I noticed your Wested appears to not show any aging, I'm presuming you won't do any sort of artificial distressing of any kind on either jacket?

Hi!, thanks for your comments

You're right, I'm a big fan of "Natural Distressing" (thanks Tundraraider ), so I just wear them and let the time speak

If you're going the Natural Distressing route, your thanks go to Michaelson.

I'm the "Natur-ficial Distressing" guy!

Both great looking jackets...love the sleeve length!
