          Holy cow that’s grail level patina right there @louisbosco

          Wish I could have seen it in person when we met in Singapore.
          Looking forward to the next chance.

          Use it or lose it.

                  @louisbosco what has caused such dramatic darkening around the collar? Sweat, sun exposure?

                    @T4920 just sweat really, pretty much unavoidable over here in a tropical climate where temperatures and humidity are high..

                          @louisbosco I spent a year in Western Australia, one of my favourite parts of the world. Traveled from Perth to Darwin at a snail's pace, doing odd jobs in hospitality along the way as part of a working holiday visa.

                          My favourite spot was an abandoned mining town at the western end of the Nullarbor, about 200km from Kalgoorlie. Spent almost 6 months there, maintaining their grounds and entertaining miners and grey nomads in the bar, cherish the memories!

                                just sweat really

                                Can you bottle your sweat and sell it as a leather conditioner/patina accelerant? That's some amazing patina you've built up with it. 😅

                                      So I caved in, and gave the Pale Rider a short cold soak. Don't expect @Autorotate level antics though. I will not sleep in it, or consider any other extreme follow up measures 🙂
                                      The plan is to give it a Obenaufs leather oil treatment once almost dry, and wear it a bit while still moist.

                                      I hope for a small shrinkage (have room for that since I oversized), and a slightly more worn-in look and feel. Let's see what happens.

                                          Reporting back: More used look and feel with some more creases, and some very welcome tightening all over. What I did: short 10min cold soak, dried on towel-cushioned coat hanger. Worn it twice for ca. 2 hours each while still moist. When almost dry applied Obenauf's leather oil. Uneven application first very visible, but then disappeared. Very little darkening. Surprised how the leather sucks up the oil, used most of my (small) bottle and tried not to fully saturate. Some of the colour changes seen with others here would require a different leather conditioner and/or a LOT more applied multiple times. Will stop here for now and see what happens.
