    @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.

    @EdH : when you talk about Obenauf's: did you use the heavy duty, or the oil?

      @Tobi Sorry, forgot they had a paste too. I used the oil: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/obe-lo.html

        P.S. Don't want to cross the streams, but my jacket looks something like this now: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/topic/12881/iron-heart-waywt-2023-edition/963. I received it new last summer, treated it with the Obenaufs oil after a month or so - September 2022 maybe - and has started to get some more serious wear in the fall and this spring.

          Just got home from a day wearing it out. Has anyone who has been complimented on this shirt actually heard “nice shirt”? Haha. I honestly only ever hear “nice jacket” and that speaks to how heavy duty this thing is

          I love the color/look of yours too. Is yours treated with anything or just wear/tear? I really like the look of the pale leather color with a waxy sheen some of these seem to have/gain. This picture and louisbosco's oil spill pic...the leather looks awesome in these pictures. I am thinking of buying one.

            @Rusty just wear. I want to hold out on treating this until it’s needed. I just got back from vacation where I got some more wear into it 15C01532-00E6-4258-BCCD-22BD67CC3C69.jpeg 681D3313-1B9E-4FA1-8EF4-240FA4474E42.jpeg 77F50AB3-5ACD-40AD-8C99-430F5D52007E.jpeg

                    Got a ReLoved XL on the way....looking forward to breaking it in and trying to keep it somewhat on the natural colored side

                      Tried this shirt on yesterday. All I can say is that it was glorious. Even the wife commented how amazing it felt.

                      As much as I liked it, just didn't think I could do this shirt justice with the limited wear it would get from me. Would love something in this leather though. So nice.

                                      From my experience I would say it’s too small .
                                      you will have button popping . Shoulder can be wider too .
                                      size up 🆙 is my recommendation

                                        Difficult to see with only one picture.. it's not too large that is for sure. I went the oversized way, in particular for the shoulder.

                                          I’d be in the too small camp but if it feels good to you that’s awesome.
