Y'2 Leathers….
-
@northsouthdenimguy ah! Yeah, I was a bit unsure about the paste application. The dry cornstarch allows it to absorb the oil. A wet paste, left for some
Time, will seep into the leather it seems.
Maybe the paste would be best suited for a light scrubbing then immediately wipe off? -
Yeah, it’s going to be OK. I’ve been kind of working it today with a soft horsehair brush, my finger and it looks even better now plus I wore it for a bit today. Just need a good rain shower…
I reached out to TJ since he’s the Y2 Master he said some saddle soap, but he probably do nothing and “just let it ride as it will get #ucked up again”
every interaction I have with that man is hilarious. -
@northsouthdenimguy haha. True words from TJ for sure. But also, easy for him to say with the leather life and access he has.

I’ve coveted the Y’2 Shop Vancouver chore shirts for quite a while now and when this popped up on eBay a couple of days ago I had to take the opportunity, especially the run of them was so limited. My suede coverall is a 40 and a slim fit on me and this is a 42 - the fit seems pretty good TBH, although I don’t think it was worn very much by the last owner so needs to shape out around my shoulders a bit.
Looking forward to giving this some decent wear - and to the previous owner (who I’m pretty sure is in here from the eBay username) thanks dude!
-
@NickD Looks like it fits perfectly over a flannel. Nice find!
-
I wish more people used the same eBay username as they do on a forum so I could reach out and deal direct.
Been waiting for a size 44 chore to pop up for quite a while now, might have to eventually visit TJ and buy new. -
I‘m considering getting a vest to wear over my jacket but I‘m not sure about how to size it. I wear a 40, would a 40 vest work? If the jacket pit to pit is 55cm and the vest is 56cm, is that the fit that works best over a leather or would one want more room than that?
Any one tried this?

@hgering27 why’d you have to post this hahah. That jacket looks great! I’ve been looking at the green and black. Thankfully they don’t have the one you posted in my size.
-
@ZackB man you can’t go wrong. I want the green but I have this one, the black rough and then the red zip chore so I can’t justify another but these chores are just incredible
-
@derek111 think I’m about to man. They only have the black and olive rough out in my size so I’m still trying to decide between the two.
-
If it helps at all here’s a recent pic I got in my black, can’t help with the olive but I think the olive is sick
-
@hgering27 appreciate it man! Doesn’t help with choosing but it’s beautiful and though. They all look amazing is the only reason I’m having a hard time. Thanks to you and Derek for all the help.
-
I had the same issue (choosing which one)… so now I own the navy, black, and camel/tan (doh!) - the black one dresses up best, but the camel/tan gets the most compliments. Personally I’m not a huge fan of contrast stitching which is what kept me away from the navy at first (picked that one up second hand) but honestly with the nap of the roughout you don’t notice it as much - might be the same for the olive ?

X-post. Finally cold enough to get some wear on the Indigo Grizzly.

@SonnyTheElder Awesome! I’m currently waiting on a Grizzly myself.
-
I wish I was confident enough to wear
-
I want a grizzly one day
Not confident enough to wear it in public but would be great for around the back yard and around the fire.
