@Seul:

Excellent, Snow!..

@Finkster:

Strange feeling to view such pics .. 38° C here in Germany 

This is fucking true though 

100F! That's brutal.  :o
It's a great jacket @Snowy!

@grandmasterben:

Amazing. Beard looks good too!

I didn't even notice the beard.  I just thought it was a case of "can't be bothered shaving this weekend."

It was a case of 'can't be bothered shaving for a week' :).

[grandmasterben]

Meant… Nascent beard looks good

Got one of these j100's about a month ago. Been too hot here in the Bay Area to wear it. I halfto admit the jacket is so damn shinny. Is there a way to get some of the shine off of it?

[davito]

congrats, just wear it whenever you can man @eyeq8402 this beauty needs weartime to fully break in and shape to your body over the next few years. the shine, which is usual in this specific leather, will dissappear over time.

ah and please post some pics if you can.

[grandmasterben]

yeah, how dare you not post pictures yet…

I have a tip for getting the shine off: don't worry about it or try anything. I'm sure that it'll go away as you wear it... I'm surprised because I think its got the perfect amount of shine. Doing anything to "fix" it will probably harm the jacket and you'll regret it!

RMC Lot.002 washed version so I need not do anything. Hehe.
Wore it for the first time despite the hot and humid weather today. Not too bad actually (14.75oz).
Just need to hem one-fold shorter. Happy so far.

Wore with IHB-05

Really nice fit you have there , seen these in Tokyo and was really tempted to get a pair

[ijpx]

@ Flash Thanks. I had the chance to try out a few different styles and liked this one the best. Moreover I was also curious about the focus on the fading process of this denim that they mentioned, 'iro-ochi'.

Love my RMC peacoat but don't get to wear it that often. It was freezing today at home so it was great to be able to give it some love.

[davito]

Looking good man cant wait wearing mine again such a great coat

Found some excellent pictures showing teacore evo on a J-100:

[Broark]

Man, I need one of those…

[Qinhan]

Looks great, but I'm not sure it's "natural" evo…

[eyeq8402]

i don't even know how thats possible on the jacket. unless u wear it 24 hours a day and sleep on a bed of rocks. i wear mine as much as possible and the thing still looks brand new.

[grandmasterben]

Gross!

[Broark]

Pretty sure those pictures got posted somewhere else (leather jacket thread?) but even if unnatural it gives you an idea of what's possible with that leather which I think is cool.
I like where the edges of the jacket along the zipper have aged, but not so much the really crazy "combs".
