Jake, you know without my even saying so.... I don't think there is anyway on earth I could, or would ever want, to insult or hurt your feelings. I do try to infuse a bit of humor into this stuff and I will take shots as myself just as quickly. I know this goes without saying between us but I am relieved that you don't take these posts too seriously. We aren't splitting atoms here, it's just clothes.

Guy was a classic troll....

I think a bit of 'ribbing' amongst pals is fine, and for goodness sakes those flares of Ton's.........(look great)

Agreed. It does go without saying, but I still appreciate you stating so. I thought it was pretty funny, anyway

Hopefully this fit is a little less controversial

Crazy how different in color ours are. I know my lighting is darker, but seeing pics like this shows me how much mine has changed. It's a beautiful jacket though and fits you well!

And your pics are so much better than mine as far as resolution and color depth. Mine are taken with a ****ty phone camera haha but yeah after seeing yours in person the color, texture and sheen have evolved so nicely! Can’t wait till mine gets like that.

You're a super nice guy Randy. Just honestly gift him the jacket, tell the guy it looks great on him and that you want him to have it an enjoy it. There can hardly be a better gift in the jacket-dom. This jacket is by far my favorite. And your friend is lucky to have you as a friend.
Thankyou Will - I will sure indeed take this into consideration! This jacket is so great I want to keep it around, but it's honestly just too small for me, no need to keep prevaricating about the bush as Wallace & Gromit would say! :)

FW Bodie again… ;) I really was surprised how quickly the jacket darkened after I got caught in a heavy rain shower last Weekend. Also I read from a Japanese reseller some of his customers took a bath while wearing the Bodie to achieve an even darkening and thus make the deerskin less sensitive to stains etc., lol.

Wearing my Bodie today too. Loving this extended cold weather we’re getting!

Two excellent examples of how cool the FW Bodie can be worn and how the jacket develops over time.

@jeo Your Jacket needs a rain or bath (or to put it simply, just water) :)
