That jacket is on freaking point! I don't recall you ever posting pics of it, or maybe I missed it but I always wondered how it turned out. Glad to see it was a complete success.

Thanks

I haven't worn it much until now as I've been waiting for it to finish airing out. It had a pretty severe mildew smell to it when I got it. It was strong enough that it was clearly smellable before opening the box and it was packaged double boxed and inside two layers of plastic bags. I've treated it with vinegar, conditioned it and have been giving it a few months for the smell to go away. The fit is on point with this one though and the leather is very nice so it's worth the work.
