Great looking hides....congrats.

A few tips:

1. Put NOTHING in the hide to condition it. FQHH is chrome-tanned leather and the conditioner will just sit on the surface attracting dust.

2. Wear it in the rain.

3. Don't put it in the dryer even on fluff. You'll wear out the dye. Take it from one who knows.

Just fly to Europe and wear it in the cold, wind and rain for two weeks. It'll look six months old!
Don't be afraid of rain - embrace it.
No goo needed. But I put my Aero FQHH HG5 in the dryer and had zero issues. No drama, but don't do what you're not comfy with.

I would like to thank all the amazing people in this forum for taking the time and posting about their experiences thoughts and ideas, which was priceless in helping me construct this jacket

Also special thanks goes to HoosierDaddy for the Indian Head penny charm, I did not have the chance to attach it yet, but will do so soon !!! the jacket will look even cooler
