Freewheelers leather jackets

The CXL looks like newer CXL. It didn’t get rid of the brown popping up from under the blue. It didn’t give the hide a waxy feel. And the CXL is not shiny now. It just gave it enough nourishment to provide a nice sheen so it looks newer. Still soft and broken in like before.

Awesome, cheers. I might give it a try on my black FQHHCXL Aero Sheene, I like the fact that I won’t loose the brown tea core coming up.
Does it make it softer by any chance? I don’t mind the weight of it but the stiffness in colder days is a real pain.

The current run, according to https://leatherings.com/product/freewheelers-leather-jacket/ would give a sleeve length of 25.6 inches.

This is fake, so I wouldn't trust their measurements. Check a legit retailer like Corlection, or any of the Japanese retailers for legit measurements.

My jacket is broken in but I do believe it is softer. Definitely a pleasing pliableness to the hide when I handle and squeeze it. I think it’s at least worth a shot to see for yourself.

Thanks mate, I’ll give it a try.

Fellow Freewheelers fans on this thread, I would like to announce that I am selling my size 40 Mulholland from Corlection. I am posting it here first, because of my past experience of MISSING, EVERY, SINGLE, Mulholland jacket of this size in the past. (As probably most of you here have probably experienced as well).
I don’t know if I will get in trouble for hitting you all first, but I figure I’d switch it up and give the diehards a chance before I threw it out to the masses in the classifieds. Plus, I trust the collaborators here more than some of the noobs poaching the ads anyways.
It has the blue wool lining with black Shinki and it is thicker horsehide compared to my size 42 from Speedway from ‘21. It is either the ‘18 or ‘19 version. I got it Jan ‘19. I have worn it about 4 times and it is basically new. I grabbed the 42 cause WAS a tweener between both sizes, but I have accepted reality that I will not lose any more weight, so I will keep my 42 that fits me better. Honestly, I like the quality of the 40 best, but as we all know, Shinki horsehide varies each batch and year.
Feel free to send me a PM and I will go from first message to last, in order to be fair. I will post it on the classifieds by this Sunday If there aren’t any takers.
To the rest of you, THANK YOU, for your time and for all the insightful information and fandom of the what I agree is arguably one of the best jacket makers available.
Cheers

Gorgeous. Your leather looks a bit more lustrous than mine! How did you do it?

After the jacket was dry after the rain shower, I briefly polished it with my yak hair brush

The FW deerskin age quite nicely.

Before:

Now (been wet a few times, no shrinkage no temper change, just very grainy now) I brush with my horse hair brush I use for my shoes and it brings out the natural shine.

Just wanted to share some pics of a new to me mulholland. Picked it up from a fellow FL member just yesterday in person.

It was actually really nice to try it on in person before purchasing it. It’s a size 44 and measurements wise, a 44 should be way too big for me, but I think it fits pretty well. I’ve worked out my personal preference for a more relaxed jacket and overall am pretty happy with it. It’s got room to layer (can fit a hoody underneath quite easily). But it also looks pretty good with just a t shirt underneath. It’s still pretty stiff as a board especially around the cuffs. But all in all should break in further quite nicely. It’s my first Freewheelers jacket!

Apparently Leatherings.com is selling the Mulholland for $220. I keep trying to buy it but the purchase won't go through with ApplePay

Do you know if this is legit? It seems too good to be true to me, but I’m new here, so just learning.
