Jacket evolution thread

[mumpy]

Hey all, this is a thread to post photos of your jackets and how they evolve over time. The jackets should have at least 1-2 years worth of wear. Ideally post before and after photos! Let’s see how some of these jackets develop over time!

I will post some photos of some of mine tomorrow.

My aeromarine, battered steer. Photos taken last year showing 5 years of wear. Mild wear mainly around the buttons, armpits and arm creasing. I doubt whether i‘ll sell it so looking forward to seeing how it progresses.

I think this thread was going for more of a before/after picture format.
Personally, I woulda called it the jacket evo thread lol

Thanks for the suggestion, it makes more sense so I have changed it!

Yeah I am going for a before/after format on this one. In that other thread the same jacket might pop up years later but it is difficult to find how it looked before.

I got my Rockafella in 2018.
This was my first 'real' leather jacket and the only one for a year.

Looks amazing. It‘s not oven you see a properly broken in molded and faded Lost Worlds and it‘s a great sight.

Thanks!
Yeah it'd probably be easier being in the US but it worked out well ordering from over here.
And at this point it's not more expensive than getting something from Scotland them also being out of the EU and the recent price increase. In fact you could probably come out on top with a stock leather instead of the Shinki sourced by Panda, who I can't thank enough.

I'm considering contacting them and at least getting an idea of the prices, shipping costs to EU and whether they are flexible regarding value declaration.
