With reference to Aero jackets… What is 'Tumbled' leather?

They seem to now be calling what used to be vintage FQHH tumbled FQHH. Basically the leather gets put on a big dryer like machine and 'tumbled' at Horween, producing a softer more pliable leather that has a more broken in look and feel to it. If you're happy to beat the shit out of your jacket just by wearing it you'll eventually get to a similar end point I think.

Why do IH shirts say to wear as long as possible w/o washing?  While I, slob that I am, have absolutely no problem embracing this practice, I have no idea what I hope to gain by doing this with a flannel shirt.  Why?

[Finn666]

bikers like to smell a certain kind of way, so to achieve that, you need to follow certain rules!

[Seul]

It's better for the environment and the gnomes living in your washing machine.

No idea, never bothered to question H about it.  But I follow the, "if it's dirty or smells, it's about time I washed it" principle….

^You mean air it for a while, and if it still smells, then wash it, right? :). I kid, I kid (I wash clothes when dirty, generally hand soak/agitate my jeans)

[mclaincausey]

My theory is that it's part of the Haraki ethos of durability and having clothes last forever and evolve slowly. Washing can be stressful to those causes.
