      No significant changes in color or feel of the leather, just sped up break in time?

      And you're a size 44, right?

        It went like cardboard, seriously stiff, but after a few hours wear today, it's softened up a lot.  No noticeable change to color.  I was really just experimenting to see what would happen and how it would form to me….

            You will see the first sample of the deerskin shirt in Japan in a few days, it is being sent to me from Simmons Bilt on Monday.  We've made it out of a less expensive leather to test the pattern, but you will get the idea 🙂

              I don't post much  That jacket is great and I love the color, love it.  Count me in.  I'm straight, but $20 is $20 so that should work for me in Philadelphia.

                Is there a joke in there? I’m not sure I understand.

                          I believe he's referring to a joke/saying…"I'm not gay but 20 dollars is 20 dollars"....meaning I'm not gay but hey I'll do anything for money.  It's on T-shirts, hats, anything else you can think of.  Must be a US thing.

                          So I'm guessing that in this context he's using it to say that he really wants the jacket and would do anything to get it?

                            I thought it would be something along those lines, but couldn’t quite work it out… Thanks Matt.

                              I think this is a priceless statement……..

                                        So, the shorthand would be "I'm gay for money" or in this case, the awesome jacket that @Giles just wore in a rodeo.

                                            I'm guessing the shower sped that up immensely, though Giles is epically rough on his gear.
