What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[navetsea]

Kendogi (sashiko?) Type3 i love the shoulder slope and collar on this one, and how this kind of weave would sag and pucker and form big round creases, and shrink unfortunately, the sleeve was longer, but I have a lot of tolerance for rtw denim jacket's sleeve as long as the body length works

Does skin also count as outerware? LOL

Vanson commando for me. As the jacket is a bit too big for me, this is more of a layering piece.

Trying to build some comfort wearing this before I make any hasty decisions on selling

Its earlier mishap turned into very cool character, even the chipped top coat looks the part now as the tea core darkens

Not as cool as your design. That jacket looks better each time you post. The Fine is just a replica..

I damped the jacket under a bathroom shower for 5 mins, and then i put on zipped the whole day until dry

What did it achieve?

 

[navetsea]

that belt digging into the jacket and I do some kneading on the side panel to get more broken in so it can drape closer to body when worn open

In the humidity you're in, I wouldn't keep drenching the leather. It isn't really possible to re-condition it - most of the leather conditioners are temporary solutions, whereas water damage and/or mold spores are not as temporary.

This really is one of my favorite styles of jacket, just don't know if I'll ever come across one for a price I can go for. Enjoy it in good health!

Sorry I was out on a work trip this week. Yes, it is the best jacket I have. Frankly, I was not as impressed with the fit initially compared to FW rebels or RC Hercules. But, the more I wear it the more it is starting to settle in to my body and feels like a dream fit.

what size are you? One of my buddies (@denimdentist on IG) is looking to sell size 40.

my place is definitely not humid, very different than coastal area or places like hongkong, it was dry within 3 hours from body heat and moving air , i think just plain cold water won't damage the leather much, its less damaging than wearing it on rainy day since rain water may carry air pollution, chemical fume and acid, it would be different story if washing with detergent or hot water,

with vegtan leather once the jacket get wetted and worn its just evolve further, but obviously you don't need to do this often. perhaps once or twice throughout its life would be fine in my own opinion.

Water saturation won't damage leather if it's a few times - I'm quite cautious about soaking leather through, though. rain showers I don't worry about as they don't tend to penetrate the leather all the way through.

I put the jacket on a hanger and hold it under a bathroom shower for 5 minutes or so, then i let it drip, and i wear it to dry


Nothing major happens, belt looks a step more broken in.


And i knead on the side panel so it learns to fold naturally just like sleeve cuff webbing. And it helps with keeping the waistline not spreading out when being worn open

Is this the jacket you overdyed by hand?
