My french workjacket came in. It's actually like New, but the leather is kinda dull and lifeless. I've given it a surface treatment and a shine and it's much better for it.

How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

@ton312 I'm not really sure, but it shined up really great and has interesting, variable grain.

I think it’s goat. From the grain it sure looks to be.

I think you are right, but the grain is more varied than my other goats.
I am so jealous that so many of you can shop for vintage jackets. It is impossible to find anything that fits someone who is 6.6 tall and normally build...
I went to many many vintage stores in NYC and they all told me forget about it...
Whenever you see something having 28inch back and arm length please report immediately.

Been chasing one of these for a while. This one looks pretty clean apart from a few repairs so hopefully the fit is good!

What product(s) did you use? How many coats did you apply?

Used a leather cream first which soaked right in. Laid it on the hot floor on my bathroom for 2 hours then applied a conditioner With lanolin and beeswax and let it sit for a while. Then furiosly brushed With a horsehair brush until it had a good shine.

Ooh man that checks a lot of boxes! Zipped trucker up front, HB back, snap cuffs. And that collar is dreamy.

Wow this one is really nice with a lot of details - I more and more look at suede jackets these days even if I didn't like suede jackets at all a while ago...

I do like many RRL jackets ... they are pricy but seem to be well made (not handled one) and have some very different styles
