Perfect fit!

Thurlow Leatherworld deerskin rider’s jacket. Made in San Diego, CA and bought in 1989. The cut is heavyweight steer hide custom made for me by Johnson’s Leather in S.F. CA in 1997 (iykyk). I’ve ridden thousands and thousands of miles in all kinds of weather wearing these. That vest was initially a deep blue color. It’s been sun bleached and weather worn to the gray you see here. (This photo was taken yesterday.)

You are too kind sir. I’m just a geezer puttering around on an old bike.

Is anyone using the Mustang Paste or Mustang P Water to condition and maintain your leather jackets? If so which do you like better and why? Additionally have you used any other products, if so, how do they compare to the Mustang past and/or Mustang P water?

[NickD]

Unless they've seen a lot of use I've never needed to condition my leather jackets. The one I did condition, after over 30 years of ownership I used a neutral Saphir shoe cream which worked a treat.

I've never tried Mustang paste, I'm not even sure they sell it in the UK.

Sitting at my dining room table, drinking coffee, waiting on UPS to drop off my dream jacket....I found this video I thought was pretty cool.

@Mizmazzle I know that feeling. What’s the dream jacket!?

[Mizmazzle]

@Mizmazzle nice fit also.

[WithBongInHand]

@Mizmazzle Hell yeah man, looks great on you. I hope it gives you many years of service.

[Mizmazzle]

@twin thanks dude. Im super happy with the fit. Looks good with a tee and I can still fit a flannel under it too.

@WithBongInHand my plan is to wear it as my main jacket for as long as possible. Get it all buttery soft!

[NickD]

That looks great, the fit is really good.

Out of all my jackets, I reckon the Flat Head is the best made, it's also the one I'd keep if I was forced to only have one.
