That looks amazing. We need more and better pictures :D

Ok, so at least more pictures. Jacket is from July last year and started off in an extremely pale natural tone and has darkened very considerably since.
The leather is rather delicate in that it shows every droplet of water and generally stains very easily. I don’t baby any of my jackets, so I don’t mind at all. Clearly, the jacket does not yet have the patina I want to see with further wear.

One of my LW had a noticeable squeak as well... I rubbed a little Vaseline ( petroleum jelly) under the arms and the squeak really subsided..

I just rubbed the greasy cloth that i use to apply Pecard's on my pits and it has helped a lot, i gained +25 to Sneak.

Thanks for the tip.

Edit: I just did the inside of the belt too and gained another 25 points!

21oz. Superblack super bad Iron Heart zombie apocalypse beer run type Three amigos. I love this one. Of all the IH jackets I’ve had this one is the best. Just a tank of a jacket. I’d quit this shit entirely if they made this with a nylon quilted liner. I’ll leave the leather to you guys.

Hey Tony, what’s that vest you’re wearing underneath the IH? Cheers

how do you avoid indigo rub off staining the inside of the cuff or around the hem? going to be relevant for me soon I dare to get a very raw unprotected vegtan cowhide as jacket, I already bought saddle soap and waterproofing wax in preparation probably going to carry them around inside the pockets the first few months until the nerve relaxes...

Out on the Harley Springer and down at the Fremantle harbourside. day to warm up on the way home to 31C.
Jacket of the day is a Suede trucker , by Australian maker "Frantik" ( no longer in business).
Not as warm as any zip up leather jacket by default , hence it's motorcycle use today.

From where I stand in confinement, this looks surreal and makes me envious. Enjoy the freedom.

Yes mine will be without epaulets that’s a must for this jacket I don’t like epaulets, still tossing up between what leather to go with though , my short list is Battered Steer, Dark Seal Vicenza and Tobacco Badalassi, I’ve either owned or tried on A2 jackets in all 3 leathers now so probably leaning towards the Vicenza at the moment, not sure about knits and stitch colour though think I want want something that contrasts, linings are another thing I have it in my head I want a red satin lining which may look better with the blacked brown Vicenza, I’m hoping Carrie can offer some guidance/advice on my final decision.

I nearly ordered one in seal goat with a satin lining but I ended up finding a goat Gibson and Barnes flight jacket for no money which temporarily scratched the itch - as they say.
