Better buy your jackets a tad on the short side then.I'm more worried about shrinking with age!

What are your thoughts on the leather ?
The buyer made me an offer I couldn't refuse. Keeping it would've been nonsensical. Doesn't happen often but it's a possibility!
I wouldn’t let you do that. But yeah, it was a gem!I woulda doubled it.

I like it - it really is mid weight and not stiff. Looks beautiful.What are your thoughts on the leather ?
I haven't worn it much because its summer, but I'm not happy with it at this point. The squeaking from it is terrible. I hope it goes away - I've read to try talc or put it in the dryer with tennis balls and no heat. I'll have to try it, but does anyone have any other suggestions. I don't know if I can stand wearing it enough to break it in - hate to put this at the back of my closet.I like it - it really is mid weight and not stiff. Looks beautiful.
I have not owned a Vanson made from the Firenze leather but one thing I have done with all of my Vanson jackets when they arrive is to get them wet and wear them around the house as they dry. I did this primarily as a way to speed up the break in of the heavy comp weight leather but I think it helped reduce the squeaking as well.I haven't worn it much because its summer, but I'm not happy with it at this point.

LOL - it was a little cooler last night - so I wore it when I walked my dog - thought I was going to wake the whole neighborhood.My Chopper in Comp Weight took about 3 months of daily wear, rain or shine, to stop squeaking, but it did stop squeaking eventually. I sounded like a rubber duck for the first bit of wearing it though
