@Mizmazzle serious jacket envy, nice pickup

[Mizmazzle]

@steelworker thanks dawggie!! It’s really exceeded my expectations!

[popvulture]

Man looks perfect @Mizmazzle ! I’m straight up green!

Can’t wait to see the next iteration of this with the new leather per @Alex ’s comment, been itching for the right replacement for my Mr Freedom Campus I sold. Putting good evo on veg tan is almost as fun a pastime as fading denim…

[Mizmazzle]

@popvulture yeah man. Honestly, I got kinda lucky on the timing I think. I’d been doing a lot of research and had been talking with Deb a bunch. If I hadn’t been gearing up toward this jacket for the last year I would have had no idea things would develop the way they did with the leather. Then seeing the one last large left….I’ll do my best to do it justice!!

[Mizmazzle]

Here’s a question where I think the answer is no…but I’m looking at it hang in the sun right now and wondering if too much sun is a bad thing. It’s tanning up quite nicely already.

Question: will leaving it to tan for a couple hours a day while it’s been around 98 degrees result in anytype of shrinkage? Been doing this everyday for the last week or so. Should I be careful with how much I leave it to hang in the sun?

[steelworker]

@Mizmazzle it's skin it will tan : act accordingly

[endo]

@Mizmazzle I left mine out for weeks on a roofed balcony, to catch sun but no rain, and it tannend nicely.
Didn't realise any shrinkage.

[Mizmazzle]

Thanks @endo @steelworker
Figured best to get some experienced advice. Dying to wear these thing. Been so hot this last month of summer the best I can do is watch it hang in the back yard!

[Mizmazzle]

LOVE. THIS. JACKET.

[Mizmazzle]

Fall is here!

Looking great! And maybe good call on conditioning, can't tell if those sleeves were starting to dry out in the cold/dry/high of Colorado.

Did you do anything before the paste @Mizmazzle ? I recall you asking about saddle soap.

[weftyarn]

@Mizmazzle Haha judging from the evo you put on it already it won’t count as cheating Love the result!
