@matt_rost appreciate it my friend. This is a small so only 1 size down to be maxed out haha. I might give the xs a try but I do appreciate a little roominess in my denim jackets for sure.

I’ve been in LA for the last 2 weeks and picked up this denim cap from the store while I was there.

@Mister_Brue Tons of stock. It's an interesting shop, old pairs of jeans and POS stuff hanging from the ceiling, and it's half Mister Freedom's own brand items, and half curated vintage.

As fall approaches, I'm enjoying my Campus Jacket to the fullest. These photos were taken recently on a dull, drizzly day. I have a feeling I'll need to condition the leather for the first time soon. Does anyone have any practical experience with leather care for this model? If possible, I'd like to preserve the color as much as possible, and the manufacturer recommends avoiding shoe care products (otherwise, I would have simply used Red Wing Leather Cream).

[NickD]

Unless it's seen a lot of rain I doubt it needs conditioning yet - I've only had to condition one leather jacket and that was because I'd had it in storage for a couple of decades. Lovely jacket! I particularly like how they look in black leather.

@NickD Thanks Nick, I agree with you. I'm usually relaxed about this too. However, I'm not the original owner of the jacket, so I don't know how old it is or what it's been through. The surface of the leather seems pretty rough and dry to me since I got it, but I haven't had a new one made of this leather in my hands yet, so it's hard to say whether it might already be too dry.

I use mustang paste on my Y-2. It will darken it a little but makes the leather buttery smooth

Day one in my freshly hemmed 674 double indigos. 12.5 oz is definetly something I have to get used to after mainly wearing my lefties most of the past months. Cut is also more relaxed than my default fit but I realy like them and I think they will fade great.

I bought a campus in natural leather direct from Mister Freedom and they sent a small container of Pecard Leather dressing with my order. After a year of wear I used it and like a quarter of a full size container on the jacket. It definitely darkened the jacket a couple of shades but the leather was very thirsty so I feel like the trade off was worth it. It required plenty of elbow grease to work it in everywhere.

[matt_rost]

@Heritage_Guy Thanks for sharing your experience! I can well imagine it was a time-consuming job, especially since I had to take care of my Pale Rider shirt this year. A few shades darker is definitely a statement, but I suppose you have to make some compromises if you don't want to ruin the leather's fiber structure in the long run.

@FlavourFade Not exactly fit pics, but:

@Mister_Brue great pictures buddy!! Where you at? Jacket is a dream

[Mister_Brue]

@FlavourFade Yes, It’s great. A true souvenir. That was looking over the Coachella Valley, but we’re now back in rainy LA.

@Mister_Brue perfect place for some MF gear
