@Daniel-San thanks Daniel-San .. Finally, I am an IH owner. can't believe it ..
Mo's patience in handling the shipping clearly showed he wanted me to have it. He could've sold it to anyone, but he chose not to. Even my brother, who was going to be in London, backed out and refused to bring it with him. Mo stepped up where my brother couldn't.

Here's the shipping route:
the UK ----> Ireland ---> Pakistan

Mo makes it

the best part it shinki leather Arms as opposed to an all-wool varsity jacket like the IHW-10.
i got lucky with IHW-11. wool and shinki horsehide ..
even though, leather has not been my genre, when @Kasi says it, u shut up and listen. Even, the ist snap button is from GAH.
i hit the trifecta with wool, shinki leather, and GAH jewelry.

[labrat]

Looks nice on you Hamza

[Hamza Yunus]

It might not be shinki horsehide, i m gonna say it anyway.
Since it's a vintage piece, only @Giles and @Alex can confirm it.

[Alex]

It won't be Shinki, but I cannot see what it was

[Hamza Yunus]

Yeah, i figured @Alex
I read all 3 threads on the forum, it doesn't say shinki leather anywhere.
But no one gonna know where I live
Horsehide sleeves are enuf-said ..

[Hamza Yunus]

@Alex could be horween shell cordovan from USA?

[Giles]

We have never used Shinki on anything, happy to let others ride that particular bandwagon.

@Hamza-Yunus that smile on your face says it all!

[Hamza Yunus]

@Giles you are right. Mostly leather jackets from IH soure horsehide from.Himeji, which is leather hub / capital.from.Japan.
I have seen The flat head and Fine creek leathers using shinki hikaku horsehide.
So, i got carried away with my IHW-11, but i knew i was just fooling myself
