@sabergirl yeah, maybe just a cold weather hat. If I hadn't just bought a new jacket I might have pulled the trigger on that hat.

[sabergirl]

Little pricy for a hat, to me. But it sure looks like a nice piece!

[matt_rost]

7 month and until now still untreated...

[FlavourFade]

@matt_rost incredible progress!!

[Karol]

Everyone is evolving these shirts like a rockstar, and in such unique ways!
I can’t wait for the new version.

@matt_rost Mine is untreated, too, and is how I like it. I found a place in the US that cleans it without darkening it - somehow. It's an expensive endeavor, but they do a fabulous job.

[indigostiff]

@Karol The new ones are different.

[matt_rost]

@FlavourFade I'm also quite happy with it considering that I hardly wore it for the first three months after starting the RR. Now I'm switching to my black Chore Coat from Black Sign to put on while it's still cool enough. That might give the signs of wear a little more depth.

[matt_rost]

@indigostiff It's good that you have such an option available. I hope I'm spared any unsightly stains, but if something happens, I'll see it as part of the shirt's history.
At the moment I'm not sure whether I can leave the shirt untreated until the end of the rally, because the leather already looks quite dry in some areas. I've been able to successfully suppress these thoughts so far, but I'm already thinking about alternatives to Mustang Paste, for example. Does anyone here know about Saddle Butter from Ray Holes? Maybe worth considering...

I know, Alex pointed me to the new leather description.
It actually makes me more comfortable about the purchase. If the guys were happy with the old leather they would not change it, and this gives me hope that the new horsehide is going to be spectacular.

@matt_rost I had purple slime on my chest pocket - something definitely that needed attention!

[matt_rost]

@indigostiff Yeah, I saw your photos above and (from my personal point of view) didn't think it was too bad. But I understand that you wanted to do something about it. The main thing is that the cleaners did a good job and you are happy with the result. And who knows whether I might have to/want to take my shirt to the cleaners at some point!? At the moment for me it's not conceivable for my own shirt...

[indigostiff]

Before professional cleaning —

— and after. Totally worth it.

[pechelman]

wow. that's some amazing work there.

[indigostiff]

@pechelman It is! Other shops wouldn't touch it.

@Luijim78 DOPE

[denim-dawg]

@indigostiff incredible! It’s like it never happened!

[denim-dawg]

@matt_rost Stunning! Wonderful wonderful eve here - what a life this unicorn is experiencing

[FlavourFade]

Can anybody say If the new model is planned for this year? @Alex maybe?
