Mine curls a little but not too bad.

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

Taming the beast

[northsouthdenimguy]

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.

[kojimastreets]

@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

@WhiskeySandwich Getting some nice wear on it.
