    Now that’s a perfect fit @seawolf 👌🏾

    Use it or lose it.

      @weftyarn Thank you sir! I'm trying to wear the crap out of it, and it's working because it doesn't look so new and shiny anymore. It's still creaking though 😉

        Can definitely relate. This thing only gets better as it loses some of the shine and conforms to the body with wear

        Use it or lose it.

            A little teacore popping through over 25oz. I realize that the photo isn’t very clear. What almost looks like a highlight is actually the teacore showing. Is that coming across on your screens?

                there you go @seawolf
                great progress and love the picture the horse hanging on the door. Starting to lose the shine and showing some texture, right?

                Use it or lose it.

                  @weftyarn Yes! It's very textured now, way less shiny, and starting to soften up some. Bits of teacore are popping up here and there, and definitely slowly breaking in overall. It's going to take a long time, but this jacket is going to age like a fine wine.

                    @tody That's good to hear. I kept looking at the image after I posted it and it looked a little like an optical illusion.

                        In terms of rugged durability is the horsehide leather jacket more or less durable than the split steerhide type III jacket?

                          Not sure that anyone has been able to trash either yet......

                                        @weftyarn I'm still in awe at home settled in your combs are on the sleeves. Mine seems like as soon as I take it off, it goes back to looking like new. (not really, but it's not as dramatic as yours!)

                                          @seawolf Ive been through a few rain showers which I have the feeling helped a lot! 😃 The jacket feels better and better the more I wear it. I absolutely love this thing. Have also gotten more compliments now that it looks more worn in / mine.

                                          Use it or lose it.
