The owner told me that no cleaning is necessary (no odors) and also no repairs are necessary, just the shearling is a bit worn on sleeves and hem. I wonder if cleaning in a bathtub with warm water and detergents is possible or if extra chemical dry cleaning is necessary.
11 months.Congratulations, that's a looker. did you have to wait for a long while for this?
Absolutely Jon!I would like o see more of this jacket when it arives.
@Monitor Thanks for your helpful advice. Good to know. I've never washed/cleaned a second hand leather jacket before which was fine (just air a jacket out) but I asked this specific question as I don't have experience with shearling jackets. The RMC B-3 is still my favorite and dream shearling jacket but I think I would need to live in a colder area or just wearing an undershirtJust NO!!! Don't soak shearling jacket! Never, EVER! Don't even think about it!
The jacket looks perfectly fine as it is & it's a steal at that price. There's nothing that can happen to these jackets. They're plasticized on the outside and there's wool on the inside. Dirt can't get thru one way or the other. You're good. But DON'T soak shearling for God's sake!

hm,Less than a year, what’s your secret?
Excellent liner choice. Looks the part!hm,
I wish I had one, I would share it with all of you. I placed the deposit late last year after seeing Boyo’s Hercules in all of its glory. John sent me a brief message afterwards thanking me for the deposit and informing me that the wait time would probably be about 12 months.
I reached out a couple weeks ago since I figured it was good to see how things were looking, to be honest though I was not expecting much news. I was blown away when John replied to my second email and said that he would like to make my jacket at the end of the month. I went from thinking that I probably had months (or longer) more wait time to scrambling to find the right liner and get it shipped to John in Seattle.

@58panheadfan Many thanks! I think I'll sleep on it for a night before I make a final decision.D-1 or B-6 with a 15mm cut works perfectly for winter climate in mid-europe This lenght of sheep skin has a wide range e.g. -10°C to +10°C depending what you are wearing underneath or layering.
