Just got the stockman in today. Per conversation with Leilah, I went with an XXS 34. I wear a size small shirt and 30 waist for Levi’s.

My first impressions:

1. Smells like a new couch! Not a bad thing, but my wife certainly doesn’t like it haha. I’m generally not used to clothing with such a strong smell, as I wear vintage / used leathers, but not a bad thing at all.

2. The color is wonderful! I do want to know what oil is best to darken it up when I break it in, though.

3. Longer than expected- not a deal breaker at all. I’m just someone who prefers jackets to sit right above the waist line. No biggie, I’ll get used to it!

4. Real soft leather! I was half expecting a rougher, “harder” leather if that makes sense? Like the 70s Levi’s trucker leather I have.

Over all, worth the wait! I’m excited to see how it breaks in. IMG_1332.jpeg

I don't know if that's how your pants usually sit on your waist, but it looks like the right length to me. The cuff could be a little more narrow. Everything else is great to me.

thanks for the review man! Leather looks great and looks like it fits you well. Hopefully better with time as you break it in!
