Hey leather jacket lovers…I got the Natural Veg Bareback some months back. Been wearing pretty regulars. Def has a fair amount of break in going on. Got some Mustang paste for Christmas. Wondering if I need to wash it with saddle soap or something first before using? Maybe just wipe it down with a damp cloth first?
Thanks in advance for the help.

[Giles]

Depends if you want to clean it as well as condition it. If you do, then I would saddle soap.

When I joined the forum early ish last year I seem to remember a few members mentioning spending their loyalty points or something similar.. is this something that’s still happening? I’m holding off buying the 888 indigo 21’s for the minute in case I have any sort of discount to look forward to..

[Giles]

It will likely happen, but not for a few weeks. We can't calculate individual customer spend, until we have processed returns from the prior year, and guess what? We get a shitload of returns in January....

@Giles I wonder what the breakdown is for gifts vs. people overspending vs. impulse purchases.

Know there is no way to quantify it, but still curious.

Maybe some of some of the members will chime in.

[Giles]

We gather as much data as possible but as a general principle, people are reluctant to admit to impulse purchasing or overspending.

We do have some customers whose late-night purchases are often cancelled the following day - "substance enabled purchasing"......

…I think that’s how some people pick their partners…

@Giles Thank you, really appreciate the info. All in all I think I did quite well on the return front, practically replaced my entire wardrobe in 2023 without returning anything! I did make a huge mistake with the Pale Rider though, wore it a few times before coming to the conclusion it was too small and had to take a big hit on it selling second hand to go a size up. Lesson learned though, that was very early on in the year and after repeatedly reading the advice “study the size charts” I’ve nailed sizing on every purchase since.

@DeeDee85 The size charts and the guys at the shop are the two best resources prior to making purchases. Using both of them has saved me countless time and money!!

[DeeDee85]

Agreed, I’ve spoke to most of them on the phone at some point now.. just wish my first “mistake” was a thermal and not a Pale Rider

You know what they say about love making you blind. Might be alcohol-induced

Does the hairline duck evolve and fade such as "regular" duck fabric?

[Alex]

I’m new to this fabric, so will need to see how @endo ’s pair evolves, but some others will have more experience with the original run of the fabric
