do you dare to commit to wear a single jacket for a month through all your waking hours?

Wow
@JMax recently used the words “buttery soft” to describe the evo of his LW, Ivan.
Is your’s anywhere near that? Sure looks like it could be.
I’d love to try but no way i could get it done.
As i sit in my 50+ y.o. Cal beast that...still ain’t buttery, just squeaky!!
Epic LW jacket.

Looks so but no, definitely not. The jacket will still happily stand on its own. It's a dreadnought. I'd also really like to see how in the world can a LW get buttery soft but if I know anything about leather, my jacket's made from the kind of hide that won't ever be considered soft. Mean hide it is. :)

Believe it or not some of them do! My LW CHP was quite supple when I received it, if not I probably would not have been able to wear it regularly. At this point it has areas that are almost buttery soft and it is quite comfortable to wear despite the fact it weighs 8 pounds.
And I know what you mean about different hides Bowen. I too have a horse hide CAL from the 1960s that I don’t think is ever destined to soften or break in. Mean hide is a good name for it.
