@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 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

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

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

And you're a size 44, right?

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….

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.
