    @Autorotate I found your mission statement: "To explore strange new folds and creases, to seek out new colors and new shapes, to boldly go where no man has gone before."

          Slow and steady. Starting to see evo all over the shirt.

          It has softened considerably with about 50-60 wears. At this point still untreated.

              @Autorotate …and I’m sitting here contemplating doing the Autorotate treatment. 🙂. As has been mentioned, that’s the joy of clothing of this quality. We make them ours and they represent who we are.

                Funny how we're all getting different results. Very cool actually. I was nervous about going full blown soak, so I kind of cheated and did a very wet wipe down with a rag. The shirt definitely got wet but not all the way through to the rough out side. Wore it dry, about 6 hours, although under the arm pits it was a little wet for a few more hours. Hit it with my fav conditioner Skidmores once again. While I got some puckering and waves in the placket, nowhere near to the level Auto got. So I'm guessing the more wet it gets, the higher the likelihood you'll get some tightening up. Anyway, I'll post some pics tomorrow when I can take some proper shots in the sunlight.

                Overall results, still pretty rigid although there was a moment there when it was wet I really had hope LOL. But there was a kind of "opening up" that Auto describes making the shirt a little bit more wearable. I'm not getting much drape, but a sort of settling down if that makes sense. And probably some expansion in the shoulders which is where I needed the most help. Still getting snap pops though on the middle snap and above. I got a feeling I may have permanently blown out the cupping effect because they were popping so violently before. Or maybe I'm just crazy LOL. But they do seem to pop much more easier now so that kind of sucks. I might mess around with some pliers next.

                  I can’t speak for others but the popping of the buttons went away for me after a few good wears. I would really need to force my torso out to get them to pop at this point. First few wears they would pop easily

                    No, I did not buy this shirt (yet).

                    Just took the chance and threw it on today at Burg & Schild. Just to see how it feels you know 😂

                      Be by patient. Don’t use pliers on your extremely expensive leather shirt. I used pliers on an extremely inexpensive vest once and always regretted it.

                        My shirt has stopped popping buttons unless I try really hard to make them pop by over exaggerated movements. I have worn my shirt 50-60 wears and it has broken in considerably from new. The shirt was very stiff in the beginning and is now quite soft.

                        From a break in standpoint, this is one of the hardest leather items I’ve had to break in.

                          @weftyarn I don’t know how it feels but it looks pretty great. Did the same thing in Gosport with @louisbosco. He bought one. I did not. ☹️

                              @weftyarn I'm planning to do the exact same thing when in Hamburg next week.

                                @weftyarn haha i saw it at Burg & Schild on Monday while I was in Berlin, but I believe it was an XL if I am not mistaken.
                                Looks great on you

                                  @weftyarn looks good on you.

                                  @Matt you wouldn’t have survived buying the vest and one of these in Gosport!

                                    The PR was more than everything I bought added up so I believe you are right.

                                      @weftyarn I don’t know how it feels

                                      I think my facial expression in the second pic says it all..

                                      @ARNC @Heavy_blue @Dmart Thanks guys! Let’s see when it will happen.

                                      @tody „see how it fits“ or already preparing for an empty wallet? 😅 Definitely let us see fit pics.

                                      Use it or lose it.

                                        @weftyarn I'm sticking to the 'see how it fits' part. It may be my money and all, but my wife may kill me, or worse, get a divorce 😂
