      @Wlemon shared this link with me that outlines a method to tan and condition natural horsehide leather. I found it a nice read and really dig the results in the photos shown. I'm going to condition my Extractor after I tan it over this summer.

        Looking super great everyone. Perfect fits. If I had one I’d never take it off.

            Modelling the shirt.

            Not an admin. Not a mod. But the guy whose fits turn heads and whose name comes up when people ask, “how should this piece fit?” 🖕

                Oh weird I thought that MF jacket was the same or similar horsehide. I think the the SB/IH leather is nicer…and I do not think there is anywhere local for Pecard stuff but there is a website https://pecard.com/

                  Thanks for sharing, it was very interesting, the result is amazing if you are looking for a very uniform golden caramel patina, i will just wear mine with no conditioner, no sun bath, no matter what the weather is, sunny or not, cloudy or not, rainy or not and see what happens.

                      @Oaktavia I've used his method on horsehide, too. I have this jacket from S & S, which is also made by Simmons Bilt using the same (presumably) leather as your jacket and this jacket. (LINK:https://standardandstrange.com/collections/simmons-bilt/products/s-s-x-simmons-bilt-vanishing-point-horsehide-leather-jacket). I've had some good results, but, with the Los Angeles sun, I have to be careful to not "over tan." I've found that taking it slow is the way to go. Here's a pic of me wearing it on my 40th last week.

                        Yeah I totally get the desire not to over-tan — I have the same concern here in Austin with my MF Campus. I've avoided any kind of treatment for that reason, seems to almost accelerate the darkening in some cases. @Wlemon that jacket looks killer, man!

                          @Wlemon right, I figured the method could be used on both leathers, as you suggested. Looking good with the jacket too- great photo of you and your group. Happy 40th bro.

                                  Is this truly a continuous production item? Such a nice shirt. Need more in the wild pics. I've never spent that much money on a shirt before. But I'm not saying I'm opposed to it. Glad they are made so i could fit one. Cheers to the 4xl!

                                  Cheers! 

                                    …man I'm happy/sad someone grabbed that last one! I could feel the willpower breaking down. 😃 Bad ass piece, maybe next time. ::)
