since the last washing, the right sleeve has picked up more creases than the left making it a tad shorter :confused:... should I condition it or BURN it?
yep I'm 37 and those toys are mine including the small koala and purple bear :( ...


All that's fine, put your shoulders back and stand up like a leather bro.

Instead of burning it, I will gladly accept it as a gift and rid you of all this dilemma you're going through. XD

Hang it by one sleeve and leave it like that for a week! Give it some more time. It's all gonna even out.

My computer table looks similar except instead of figurines I have empty booze bottles around and behind the computer screen and a bunch communist memorabilia on a shelf above. Where's the Wacom, though??

yep I did lots of things with my left arm all day to even it out, oh my wacom is parked behind the second monitor on the right, only used when needed...

this is the jacket I wear today... hopefully it is not too small on me :D
of the leather samples I picked this one it is olive green with some brown... or should I say cowdung tone:confused: this one is smooth pressed cow, I'm not sure if it is full grain or has been sanded, but very quickly in picking up creases as tested above and also did scratch and cut test too, dyed through the suede, also picked some hardware to match, zipper tape was light faded grey with a little bluish tint (look like an old stock and looked old) to look casual & match with jeans... I can't wait:p

You know, that I'm a fan of hard clothing-tests.

An hour ago, I was coming back from underways by car and I don't know why, but I curiously liked to get an delicious icecream, immediately! :D But I didn't like to park on that supermarket-parking area and luckily this supermarket is not far from apartment-block. So, I decided to drive home, lay aside my "famous blue raincoat", which I got with me underways and take my nice water-repellent microfibre quilted-jacket, which I like so much, for another real strong rain-test.

And it was great again!! :)

I walked normal slowly in this strong rain an my return and had a ten minutes-route to go. The inner side of my no name-Sympatex flatcap stays absolutely dry, of course and the quilted jacket stays dry inside, for real five minutes, and only then it got a little moist inside both arms and inside the shoulders area, but it was still really ok! I guess, I could have went further ten mintes, if neccesary, without problems. :)

That's why I like this microfibre-polyestre quilted-jacket so much. It such a great lightweight jacket, to go really smart, classy and weather-secure to your towns next supermarket, around the corner and so on. :)
Of course combined with your waterproof-flatcap! ;)

No need, to take an classic, unpractical umbrella with you and into the supermarket. :confused:;)

Now, I'm enjoying something of my original swedish pistachio-icecream for 4,99 Euro. :D Delicious and not that expensive, as "Häagen-Dazs"! :)

And further some nice poppy-seed cake... :D

LOL...these toys are harmless, you should see my mancave, it's full of movieprops and lifesized statues (like a 1:1 Return of the Jedi Vader standing 2,30m tall...)

Be honest with us here. Do you buy leather jackets for him too?

That would be next level of leather jackets addiction.

Lewis Leathers told me that they did the original suit for the 1977 Starwars. My lifesize display has a real leather suit - but no Lewis made one LOL
