Y'2 Leathers….

Do any of you guys with westerns find that the back of the collar at the edge curls up? My Henry has never done this but my Tom does, it’s really noticeable when it’s on a hanger, the edge is almost 90 degrees compared to the rest of the collar.

Mine curls a little but not too bad.

[99Tjadams]

Oh, the back, no the back is not curling.

Not worried about it but any ideas on taking care of these “oil” spots. I know they will blend over time but curious if there is any trick to minimize now.

At least they are located on the back.

@northsouthdenimguy @indigostiff has a guy/shop that he uses and might be able to give you some advice.

[Mizmazzle]

@northsouthdenimguy you can put some cornstarch or baking soda on it to absorb the oil. I’ve used this method before with good results. It’s a no risk, first approach.

[northsouthdenimguy]

@Mizmazzle

As a paste or dry, assuming overnight or longer

[Mizmazzle]

@northsouthdenimguy apply it dry. Yeah over night is good. I reapplied fresh corn starch every 6-8 hours over the course of a day or two.

....have personally used the cornstarch/baking soda method on an IH-suede collar oil before and it worked magic.

[Kjunx]

no curl on my collar, but assume you can correct this w/ a bit of water and making sure that it lays properly when on a hanger, I've found that the arm creases reset a bit whenever I wear in the rain - this one gets early fall over a t-shirt AND under a coat wear as the season gets colder, unfortunately I only sized to a 42 (same as my steer oil ones), but the stiffness of this leather makes it so I need to wear the leather a bit to warm it up before the first two buttons stop popping open - still a great piece though and first foray into the eco-horse. Have a Y2 piece from Lua arriving in Dec/Jan that should be a monster to break in.

@Kjunx what a beauty

[northsouthdenimguy]

@Mizmazzle

Put it on dry last night and it pulled out a bit, put more on my way out this morning. I did read that you can also do it as a paste. I may try that if it doesn’t pull the rest of it out today but once again, thank you and others for the tip

Holy smokes that’s a sick jacket. You’ve got lots of teacore action popping too! Impressive

[WhiskeySandwich]

And a dirtbag waiting at the kids bus stop…

[Mizmazzle]

@WhiskeySandwich would you say this is warm and jacket like? Or more over shirt? I’m guessing over shirt level warm based on the hoodie layer.

@northsouthdenimguy do these actually come in Size 50?! That is the size I need for sure. Love my horsehide in 48 but it's just a tad too snag to be comfortable. I make it work though!

[northsouthdenimguy]

@kojimastreets

My camel is a 50, the Olive is a 48. Only a T-shirt with the 48 if I want to snap it. The 50 I can wear UHF or whatever.

[kojimastreets]

@northsouthdenimguy yep. Sound's like we're pretty similar. Can only rock a t-shirt under my 48 so I primarily use it for riding in the summer. Still a stunning piece and not too bothered by it. Wearing it right now actually
