    • RE: IHSB-TGN-NAT - Iron Heart x Simmons Bilt Mustang Horsehide Tail Gunner - Natural

      Hello everyone!I've recently become the proud owner of this beauty. I'd like to ask the creators how this jacket is supposed to handle rain? I intend to wear it for many years and I'm not overly cautious with it, but this is my first high-end jacket and I don't want to ruin it by mishandling it. I'm not talking about tropical downpours, but rather an average rain shower. I've only been wearing it for two weeks and have already been caught in the rain three times, each time for about half an hour, after which the jacket dried on me. I haven't noticed any negative changes (aside from water marks that seem to start forming a patina), yet everything I read online insists that rain ruins leather jackets. I'm trying to figure out how true this statement is for myself.
      P.S. I've been wearing leather shoes for many years, including veg-tan leather, and by drawing analogies, I also can't understand what it is about rain that would ruin a jacket but not shoes (with proper care, of course).

      And just to keep the discussion going, here are a couple of unflattering photos from a terrible angle, taken a week apart))

      Thank you very much for your responses! You've helped me confirm that all the stories about leather jackets getting ruined by rain are likely either about jackets of terrible quality or a complete lack of leather care skills.
      @concretor - that's an amazing color! I think it's probably a nice tan, but I'll still ask - what did you use to condition it? Mustang Paste or something less specialized?
