    Should add… I’m committed to soaking the jacket- and while wet and drying - while I wear it, I’m hoping to achieve some stretch in the back and shoulders. I think then the snaps will have less stress in them. Will document and post findings of course.

      What are the care instructions for this shirt? How do you guys go about keeping them clean? Patina is fine, but most of my IH shirts, after wearing them for quite some time, they have developed a stain around the collar and I could not get it cleaned. So wondering how it is on this leather shirt? I'm considering getting one this time.

        My experience with natural leather like this shirt is that permanent darkening/staining is inevitable on contact areas (collar, cuff, placket…). For cleaning, I would use Lexol cleaner followed by Lexol conditioner. This would help to keep it clean, remove salt and dirt, but I’d not expect it to remove the discoloration. The Lexol product will normally not darken the leather post-treatment. Initially, it will darken from the moisture of the product, but will return to pre-treatment shades (30 mins).
        I am using Pecard’s Antique for softening, conditioning and achieving darker hues. Probably annually, or as the leather needs it. Don’t want to over do this. Can weight the jacket down, and too much can harm the leather fibers. YMMV.
        I am of the school of “I am impatient for it to darken and patina”. LOL.

          So, this like a leather jacket is not a candidate for the washing machine? Correct? Excuse me for my stupid question!

              @the246guy I personally wouldn’t do that.

                I would only spot clean and hand wash leather in general. If a jacket is in need of serious cleaning, I would take it to a professional cleaning service that specializes in leather and has very good reviews.

                    @the246guy wipe down the collar every few months with damp rag. After apply conditioner if you're wearing and or sweating a lot. The lexol cleaner is good call too if it's like extreme wearing or maybe just once a year kind of thing.

                      If it starts to stink after a few months, how do you care for it then? Excuse me again for another stupid question.

                                    Ok, looks like the measurements are a bit more generous compared to the last run. Based on the old measurements, I would be an M, but on the updated measurements, I'm in between sizes. What do you do when your actual measurements on some areas are in-between an S and an M. If it were an UHF, I would pick an M, but how about on this?

                                      @the246guy Leather will give more than a UHF, and won't shrink (as you don't wash it)..

                                        Same for me, directly between XL and XXL in the crucial (for me) P2P measurement.
