          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.

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

            Use it or lose it.

              @pechelman i didn’t. Just went straight in on it. But you’re right. There were def some spots that had a bit of dryness to them. Colorado is sooo dry. My cracking fingers can attest to this!!

                @weftyarn haha. I wore it nonstop for the first four months I had it. I would just sit in my backyard while
                It was 95f and wear it with no shirt under our covered patio. I might have some mental issues.

                      Sometimes capturing the true color and richness of this jacket can be tricky. Feel like I finally got a shot that is accurate. Think the mustang paste has settled in after a couple days too.

                                No, didn’t get any stretch. Pretty think leather. I know they changed the tannery that they were getting their natural veg tan leather from. Wondering what the new leather they are using is going to be like. Deb had sent me some samples of the new tanneries they were trying out. Do you get samples?

                                    Words cannot describe how much I love this jacket. So here’s some photos of up close evo shots to help me express myself.
                                    After the one coat of Mustang Paste this thing REALLY came to life. Richer color and texture. Picks up beautiful patina faster too I’d say.
