    One man's system: machine washing and conditioning vintage jackets

    Don't worry, this isn't a vintage or even remotely expensive jacket I'm doing this to... It's a cheap-ass perfecto style jacket from leatherup.com, I paid ~$70 shipped for it. I wasn't expecting much from the jacket in the first place, but it arrived really stiff (especially for thin leather)...

    One man's system: machine washing and conditioning vintage jackets

    I know I'm reviving an old thread, but I have a question -- I've been using this method on a cheap jacket I bought (long story), and noticed that in the write-up, it's mentioned that the jacket should be drying glossy; I've put about 4 coats of Lexol on the jacket, and each coat has dried with a...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    HAHA! In my defense, I bought the bulk of the jackets before I joined...lol. But yes, I can see it's similar to GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) that one experiences with other hobbies/aspects of life, such as cars/motorcycles, musical instruments, etc. I'll get photos up of the collection...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    I've kind of gone a little nuts lately... I started off with (my first real leather jacket as an adult) a jacket I bought at SEMA a few years back, then my next one was my riding jacket - a leather/nylon Icon Sanctuary when I bought my starter bike last year. Since September though, I bought a...
