Breaking out a new Double Helix type 3. The custom fit (size 36 with size 38 length/shoulder/arms) is great (I think ) . Curious about people’s opinion on the leather? This is brand new and it developed wrinkling on front panel right away…being my first time with a new leather jacket I’m not sure if it’s to be expected or sign of lower quality leather? I have a used Y2 which is a little thicker overall, but has no wrinkles like this… overall I’m happy with the jacket but not sure if I got a defect, or it’ll blend in once the whole jacket breaks in.

Different parts of the animal tend to break in differently. Some makers try to minimize the effect by matching similar bits while others make a point to show off the differences- all part of the look.
Thanks Mike! You put my neurotic mind at ease…

Not only wearing today, but at least until Thursday. Moving house in three days, and these are the only jackets that are not packed up.

Who would have thought that two out of three would be Vanson?!?

Big shout out to @Johnny deadlifts for letting me have the „old“ Comp weight experience and to many others who always advocated the properties of Vanson.
