@RitchieCDog It's been like this for two years and it hasn't changed, I just very carefully burned the wire that was sticking out but I probably could have done nothing and left everything as it was

@RitchieCDog I would say the fit is good.

Bored at work, little pic to add. Going give first wash this weekend, will post before and after pics.

@RitchieCDog totally understand what you’re feeling man. You’re thinking:
“I paid a ton of money for this jacket!”
“This seems like I’m not getting a perfect starting point for my fade journey.”

You’re totally justified in those feelings. I will say, those collar abrasions will be some of the first areas of high wear you’re going to get and they will melt away into all the other rad progress you earn with this jacket. You’ll be getting sick fades all over before you know it, and those spots on the collar will be forever forgotten even faster.

The patch is also a fair concern, but again, one that almost certainly isn’t going to devolve into anything other than your jacket being unique and yours. Worst case scenario…the boys in Gos will make quick work of making sure that patch never moves a millimeter.

Again, you paid a bunch and need to be stoked. But I’d be willing to bet if you stick with the jacket, you’re gonna be super psyched on it after a day or two wearing that beauty.

@RitchieCDog great fit and the imperfections wouldn't bother me in any way. Go on with your journey and wear the hell out of this beauty

First wash definitely brought out some character in my 2 year old jacket.

@jerkules
Looking so sick man. She a beauty of a jacket! Curios if kept count of how many wears?

[moskiitto]

@jerkules amazing!

[jerkules]

@meatmarketdenim1 thanks man - I haven’t kept count but it gets worn mostly in spring/autumn - or less cold winter days. To be honest, I wouldn’t say I’ve worn it particularly hard in the last couple of years, so I’m surprised how evolved it’s looking! The wash definitely brought out more silver tones

My lefty OD, approx 140 wears(didn’t keep best track when first got it). After its First wash, I Just did a bathtub wash. My washer machine is old and worried would get marbled/or soap still left on it. Stoked put lots of more miles on this bad boy, my fav IH jacket. . Purchased from @Kasi thanks again man, jacket is well loved here in SF
