Im not wearing this jacket as much since my natural jacket takes all what little outing time spared by covid regulation
Somehow fit me a bit better looking trimmer when worn unbuttoned than what i remember, then i take the back picture i see finally it drapes there after 4 yrs.

Looks great, and drape on the back without wrinkles is primo!
The shoes and pants seem to have an odd thing going with the tone…is that an artifact of the photo or something you expect the shoe leather to darken with time?
Thanks, yes i been waiting for the back to drape. I m still have this belief that jacket or leather still ages and breaking in even when just hanging on rack, it has weight and subjected by gravity all the time and air humidity, uv, etc.
Oh the pants is cord maybe that might look flickering on low res pictures. The upper of my boots is not vegtan darken only a little bit over the years the outsole which was in tone with the upper has since turned a lot darker. The toes was patinated probably with airbrush when it was new, at first i maintained it with darker shoepolish but overtime i let it fades with wear, and i also ride bike and the left side must have shifter dent a little.

This one just showed up, but doesn't fit very well! I did not expect a fit, but got what I had been chasing. One more step backward. I think there is a peak at the lining in one pic. In my world this is big even if it looks too small. Marked a size 40 with a zipper from the 1940s.

So cool. Looks great.
thanks, the belt is not yet cut the buckle is hooked on the hole just to take picture, so I went there to point where the belt must be cut if the buckle is worn on the 4th hole like that, and those teardrop leather zipper pull lol they made me a mockup from another cowhide to test... I wonder why
I went with less curvy waist on this to keep its mc look like so \ / , and not like my other jacket that mostly ) ( waisted
@Monitor once told me the belt must be long to look cool when hanging , so I set it to hook on 4th hole, still wondering if I should dye the other side of the belt to be black too or just let it be contrasting and darkening naturally like that.

That's goat, right?
Yep, that's goat. It's their olive goat, treated with beeswax or whatever it is that they finish their jackets with.
