@Giles:

I just went under the shower in it.  After about 3 minutes, the inside was still dry, I had to take it off to get it wet through…..

What’s the point of this?  Do to do this with all the leather jacket samples?

[Giles]

Just want to see what happens….

@Chris:

This is the Clayton natural horse hide, right?  I'm very curious to see what the results are.
And where are you thinking of moving the zippers?

It's actually Italian veg-tanned.
I think we'll retain the zippers, but put them here:

^ I'm guessing that's the picture of the jacket post shower soaking. The creases in the sleeves are really taking shape.

[Giles]

It is, yes…...

^ It appears that showering in this jacket has assisted the breaking in process with the added bonus of helping to mould it to your own specific shape G. Nice 

[Giles]

It def has

I don’t know that it could possibly look any better on you. Perfect pairing with those boots.

Enough of this white horsey porn.  I’m still lusting after more pics of the black perforated one.

Why, thank you Arthur…..

No significant changes in color or feel of the leather, just sped up break in time?

And you're a size 44, right?

[Giles]

It went like cardboard, seriously stiff, but after a few hours wear today, it's softened up a lot.  No noticeable change to color.  I was really just experimenting to see what would happen and how it would form to me….

Very, very nice jacket G… great work and what an amazing leather. How is progress with the with the deer hide shirts?

[Giles]

You will see the first sample of the deerskin shirt in Japan in a few days, it is being sent to me from Simmons Bilt on Monday.  We've made it out of a less expensive leather to test the pattern, but you will get the idea

I don't post much  That jacket is great and I love the color, love it.  Count me in.  I'm straight, but $20 is $20 so that should work for me in Philadelphia.

Is there a joke in there? I’m not sure I understand.

That jacket is BEAUTIFUL!!!

Wondering how much wear I could get out of it here in the outback…..

Either way, I foresee one hell of a product thread, chock full of awesome update pics!
