I don’t think that jacket could possibly fit you any better. Congratulations! Great score!

@Oaktavia:

It's crazy fellers….like wow I don't even know what to say at the moment.

That thing looks fucking SICK @Oaktavia. Congrats!!! Stoked it fits well, too.

You must be a soothsayer. Bullseye.

@Oaktavia jacket looks amazing!

[ARNC]

@Oaktavia really pleased it worked out for you.

Hell yeah man! Now we just have to get even more jealous as we watch it darken…

[mention]Oaktavia [/mention] I’m so envious of that gorgeous jacket. Are you a 3XL? I wouldve never guessed in a 100 years. That fit is perfection!

Yup I'm 6'3" 210 on a good day my friend.

Rainy morning about to walk into work.

[Matt]

No way man.  I’d be wrapped in a containment suit ET style if I lived somewhere where it rained more than 2x a year with that jacket.  I don’t really overly baby my stuff but that jacket tho…

I dunno, I think the veg tan looks really good when it gets out in the elements. I'd be much more inclined to get that out there than a black leather jacket, I'd say.

I understand the impulse, but honestly—clothes are for wearin’. If you can’t have them out in a little drizzle, what’s the point? But I feel the same way about washing and drying everything, so my attitude is always towards ease and laziness.

For sure. I'm more of a dweeb about washing and drying stuff, but I do think a leather jacket looks best when beat to shit.

[Oaktavia]

A little rain won't hurt it. The drops look neat when they darken the leather but they dry and don't leave a stain quickly too.

My puppies on the other hand make me nervous but I think I'll quickly go punk rock with it and think feck it.

[Oaktavia]

I will say it drapes a bit out from my back more than I would like it to. But the sleeves, shoulders and length are perfect. It'll drape better and form well with time though, right? Graham was just telling me that this morning.

@Oaktavia I have a jacket made with this same leather. I used his method and have had good results: http://vintageengineerboots.blogspot.com/2021/12/the-randall-jacket-by-mister-freedom.html

[Matt]

I hear what all of you are saying and I don’t disagree at all.  But  that jacket tho…

Tell me no small part of you wants to frame it and put it in a wall.  Like with laser security.

[Oaktavia]

Oh awesome, thanks @Wlemon that looks like a solid resource. I really, really dig the way the Mr. Freedom natty jackets look too. The style is so neat looking. I don't own anything from them but I do drool over their website from time to time.

@Matt don't let this get to your head too much but I think you are the funniest person here on the forum lol lasers
