        @mikesantor good thought. We used to make this:
        https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=9573.0

        But it has become too hard to produce them in Japan (I think the factory is overwhelmed). I reached out to Simmons Bilt to ask them to source a suitable hide and we will sample

          Amazing! Thanks, Alex.

            I didn't hear back on conditioner recs beyond Graham's so I talked with Simmons and they felt OK with using Obenauf's Heavy Duty LP. The process was nerve racking and I feel a little like I got off an actual horse because it took about 2.5 hours. Very happy with the end result though. Here are some before shots, active process and final product. I'd take another outside pic but it's currently snowing.

            Used a section of an old shirt and some elbow grease

            After (I'm in love with a horse)

              @porkchop yours looks incredible 🙌 and looks super soft nice mate..
              Do you have to condition it ? I was thinking of just leaving mine what are the pros and cons of conditioning and not conditioning ?

                @Jcaz6996  Thanks! I think it's personal preference but I did so for two reasons: 1) I live in a high desert, dry climate and saw some indication of dryness and 2) I almost was caught in a rain storm and I read the bees wax/propolis should offer some water repellent.

                In a cursory perusal of leather websites I saw a lot of discussion about conditioning every 3-6 months. Personally, that seems overkill to me. Like I said, it takes LONG time to cover the whole shirt (esp. my 4X).

                The final photo is a little darker than reality. I'll try to post another on a nice sunny day outside soon.

                Cheers!

                    I just did my Y2 kakishibu with MP and a little went a long way. That said my jacket is still fairly new but I wanted to condition it bc I had done some sun tanning with it.

                        Stoked to see how yours turns out dude. My Type III version is still untreated. I wanted to wait and see what some of you guys choose to use as treatment and how it turns out before I choose one for mine. Mustang past was high on that list…

                          much darker in photos I reckon. but they're slightly softer.. hand applied.

                              No timeline just yet, we are working through our back orders with SB, then will rerun this.

                              Any update to this? Been going back and forth since drop. Its there and im resisting, then im good to go and its sold out. I should just buy it to end this madness.

                                The latest batch of leather got rejected by SB for quality issues, so were waiting for the next one to deliver. No firm date on the restock, sorry

                                  We have a few of the last batch which got minor damage during shipping.  If you can deal with some pre-wear wabi-sabi, get in touch, and we'll do a deal…
