    But does that make chromexcel more duable? Do tanning processes that soften leather also weaken it?

    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    Stiff jackets aren't necessarily more duable right? When I wear a stiff jacket I feel like it is more durable, but this probably doesn't have any logical basis right (when comparing leather from the same animal)? E.g. is a stiff horsehide jacket e.g. CXL more durable than a soft one e.g. Shinki?

    FS Freewheelers Centinela sz:40 NWT

    Correct me if I’m wrong but freewheelers is OTR? Which means the store wouldn’t lose the money, they could sell it to someone else. You could also buy another jacket with them to make up for the costs of restocking. Either way, GLWS

    This leather really reminds me of Shinki. Or I guess to be more accurate, Shinki really reminds me of this leather

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    That’s not a bad suggestion. I think I’d wait until this is broken in to see how this changes, and reconsider then

    Gorgeous colour on that piece. We don't see suede too often here.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    More Schott spam from me. New Perfecto I picked up, I tried this on with a slimmer sweater underneath, rather than the hoodie I wore in my original fit picks, and it looks significantly less boxy than it originally did. As others said, it will hopefully break in even further to conform to me. I...

    Is this Schott a keeper? (+ mini review)

    Possibly, but considering how little it seems this has been worn I wonder why they would have bothered conditioning it

    Must have already sold! Was a vanson very similar to this one, in a 42, for really cheap https://www.vinted.co.uk/men/clothes/activewear/sports-accessories/protective-items/2446305546-vanson-vintage-leather-jacket-used If the CHP was a 40, I definitely would have already picked it up

    Is this Schott a keeper? (+ mini review)

    Makes sense, agreed there's not rush in breaking it in so I don't mind doing it the old-fashioned way

    Is this Schott a keeper? (+ mini review)

    Ah I see, this is definitely different to schott's naked cowhide. I think it's closest to their 519 leather, but I think it's still different (though I have never handled that leather in person). I actually just noticed the belt missing earlier today, the seller sold it without it. I message...
