    @weftyarn No, I did not - that's XXXL, one size up from my usual shirt size. Going by sleeve length, that would have been ok, I think. Waist and opening felt a bit wide, though.

    The money I saved was spent on the new indigo whipcord Type 3. That's now sold out in my size everywhere, so I felt that was the better move!

      @tody Hey! That means we’re size buddies. 2XL is my usual shirt size, too.
      I could fit in the 2XL Pale Rider though. You seem to have longer arms.

      Enjoy the Type III, great choice!

      Use it or lose it.

            @Autorotate the Big Buck is really nice and it now comes in natural. Starts out smooth as butter. They feel incredible.

                      I had to give it a wash after this beat down. Got a lot more sweaty than I thought LOL. I'm starting to think this leather is indestructible.

                            Staying off any treatment for now, since I am not sure what to think of the shiny look some of you are getting.

                              Dig the patina of these treated but I also like the matte finish and soft feel of the untreated. Like @Tobi I am staying away from treatment for the time being but curious of others thoughts/experience on what kind of damage you would be looking at if this was never treated. Also curious the recommended frequency of conditioning (subjective this last question, much like denim wash practices, but I’ve got to imagine there is a sweet spot that is healthiest for the leather). Love you all! 🍻

                                Talking about oils, I’ve just had a golden shower from my brake reservoir. Good way to tell you it’s leaking

                                FD56F9FF-72C5-43F3-A0D1-3FCC6E39C569.jpeg

                                Love the color on this one (outside of the oil spray).

                                Did you treat it with anything or just been wearing it?

                                    @flannel-slut I don't have this shirt (and should really stop visiting this thread or else that will change sooner or later) but I'd have thought that general advice for leather garments applies: Treat at least once per year to put some moisture back in the hide, more frequently if needed due to climate, wear, getting caught in heavy rain, etc.

                                    With the right products you can maintain a matte finish. Obenauf's worked well on my Simmons Bilt jacket, which is the same leather as this shirt. I think it depends on the fats in the product being used. Logically, products which are liquid at room temperature will have shorter-chain fat molecules in them, and should in theory penetrate the leather more easily, leaving less behind on the surface of the leather which leads to the shine. That's certainly been my experience with Obenaufs and Mustang P.Water anyway - they soaked right in.

                                    Take the dive...

                                      Bick4 could probably work well too if you want conditioning without darkness and oily/waxyness

                                        Much appreciated on your input guys. I’ll keep the once a year in mind as a baseline
