                After 4 wears I have to say I'm really surprised how warm and sturdy the leather is, from the soft touch and ability to move you'd guess it's lighter than it actually is. That's a huge plus in my book, might even make it suitable for wear on warmer days of winter.

                The fit is perfect in every dimension I feel light they hit perfect measurements for me. The pockets are super useful, the handwarmer pockets are also the most usable ones I have on all my jackets due to the cut and even if I initially wished they had a Zipper I'm glad they don't as it doesn't scratch the sleeves.

                The leather however shows every single scratch and raindrop, given that I won't even start to try and protect it but wear it as hard as I can with my office job.

                    That leather really does show every tiny little thing, doesn't it?  I'm guessing it will be less noticeable as it darkens and changes color, but I kinda like how quickly it becomes unique to each owner.

                      Yeah, it literally shows anything. Every raindrop, every small scratch. But that's part of the attraction, it gets patina with every single wear. I might one day treat it with Mustang paste, I guess it evens out then.

                          Has anyone tried any kind of conditioner on this? I wanted to use Mccoys horse oil as the standard and strange vanishing point had excellent results with it but it's not available outside of Japan. I might use Mustang Paste soon.

                                    I wear XL in this, the ihj 35 and most IH tops as vests, denim jackets and shirts. So yes, I'd go with your usual size.

                                        Yes, as the product page says "Continuous Production".  Are being made atm.

                                        I take the same size.

                                        If you want an email when the restock occurs, see here:
