        That leather really does show every tiny little thing, doesn't it?  I'm guessing it will be less noticeable as it darkens and changes color, but I kinda like how quickly it becomes unique to each owner.

          Yeah, it literally shows anything. Every raindrop, every small scratch. But that's part of the attraction, it gets patina with every single wear. I might one day treat it with Mustang paste, I guess it evens out then.

              Has anyone tried any kind of conditioner on this? I wanted to use Mccoys horse oil as the standard and strange vanishing point had excellent results with it but it's not available outside of Japan. I might use Mustang Paste soon.

                        I wear XL in this, the ihj 35 and most IH tops as vests, denim jackets and shirts. So yes, I'd go with your usual size.

                            Yes, as the product page says "Continuous Production".  Are being made atm.

                            I take the same size.

                            If you want an email when the restock occurs, see here:

                                      Just started applying Mustang paste. Kinda drastic change, but I think the colour will be wonderful when it all settled.

                                        Wow, that is pretty drastic. Looks good, though.

                                          Looks good, is that just a leather protectant? I’ve never owned a leather jacket, this will be my first in my 42 years.

                                            Mustang Paste is a horse oil blend and it’s fantastic stuff! It does make natural leather turn a honey brown but personally I like the color quite a lot. I used it on a pre-owned Billingham bag I bought on ebay and it refreshed the leather nicely with one application.
