Looks Good HM, any negatives to report from the soak?

No negatives so far...
It's not 100% dry yet, but no loss of suppleness. The huge up-shot is that I could give the collar back it's rightfully majestic shape. It had been crushed over the years. The slight odor that remains will probably go away with some air and a vinegar spritz... a positive experience.

Made this leather/denim vest a while ago. First attempt on making vest. Turned out the natural goat and wool/denim combo is very nice!

I've washed a bunch of jackets before: only positive experiences as well.

This is superb Boyo...I know I may (somehow!) be biased toward the HWM pattern of late but I dare say this the best fit I've seen of a HWM ever posted here. Looks absolutely perfect!

Thanks Tony, that's high praise for sure...the result of a size 44 jacket on a size 48 body

First time wearing this jacket out. This one has passed through the hands of many loungers here before getting to me. Branded Garments Police Jacket.

I got that one into circulation. Isn't it an excellent jacket? Fits you really nice.

Thanks, It's an in interesting cut. It fits slightly snug at the top but has plenty of space at the bottom for movement. This is probably due in part to the gun holster expansion straps? I think that's what those are for anyway. I think it will work well for really cold commuting with the quilted lining and thick leather. It's definitely a bulletproof hide and one I won't worry about wearing on rainy rides at all.

It's an absolute tank of a jacket for sure and yeah, I think it fits like that 'cause of the belt and all the stuff cops carry on it. It's a very warm jacket, too. If it was one size smaller, I'd have kept it even tho it fit great on layers.

Took this one out today, 1968 Martin Lane G-1 I recently had a knit replacement job on. The mouton fur is really dry. Think some beard oil might plump it up a little? I figure, if it's good for living facial hair what harm can it do to dead hair...

Here's my 1968 Martin Lane tribute jacket. My best friend retired from the Navy and gave me this jacket shortly before he died. I wore it to the store today and got several compliments and questions about the patches.

Decisions, decisions ...
(it's really hard to compare weights/thickness with these little swatches!)

Black cow , not too sure how to wear dark bottle green pants this probably works.
