As it's finally rj1 weather I'm back from my hiatus (can't promise how long though). Hope everyone is doing well...
Got me a third colour in the rj1, I just love that damn jacket. New in is Tumbleweed, the others are olive and 20oz tobacco. And as we finally moved out of the city close to the woods and beach I guess they all will finally see some more wear.
Also, I wanted to write about a very pleasant experience with freenote's webshop. Ordered a drifter shirt in M, got it delivered within 5 days from the US. Unfortunately I got sent size L (which still kinda fits), but I wrote them about it and got sent another M for free.

Cheers Mate! Life's been busy (buying a house, relocating and some new beginnings for the family). So it was just for good reasons that I've been away and I hope to show up again from time to time

@Max-Power Wow, so good to see you! I was scrolling through and saw your face, and did a double-take!

@Max-Power you remind me of a cowboy on a certain show.
Haha, I get what you mean. Didn't watch it until very recently though but will take it as a compliment.

Hi fellas
I have just received a riders jacket in tobacco, it is an amazing jacket and I couldn't be more happy with the fit. Every detail on it is as described and what I was hoping for...
Except the color! It is much darker than in any photos I can find online from Freenote themselves, the retailer I purchased from, all other retailers and here/reddit etc.
I actually do like the color but it's just not what I was expecting, it is a lot darker and almost has a khaki hue to it. Having said that my partner is convinced it looks nicer than the color in pictures
Has anyone else experienced this? This is my first waxed jacket so I am not too sure what to expect over time could it just be that it has maybe a bit more wax than normal and might lighten up?
I forgot to get pics of it last night when I tried it on so will add some here when I get home from work this evening.

@hjl360 Maybe the amount of wax, maybe the lighting when they take photos.
My previous Oak colored one lightened up significantly after just 2 weeks in England when visiting (caught in the rain).

@hjl360 I actually just went through this myself a couple of weeks ago. I purchased the rj-1 in Tobacco back in 2020. Sold my size large two weeks ago and got an XL the next day. I compared the two side by side and the new tobacco is definitely a bit darker and has a different liner than the red one used years back. Turns out the updated version of tobacco is now "Tumbleweed". I did like the new tobacco but wanted to stick to what I had in the past.
