Good positive thinking! At 50 your liver still has a chance to repair some damages or at least slow down cirrhosis progression. I also recently took out energy drinks due to kidneys showing early stage scarring - no idea why but energy drinks are bad for kidneys and liver. I’d quit alcohol as...

@Guppy thank you for these great pics! I actually prefer the non tumbled look and I always appreciate a jacket that can stand up ;). I also think tumbling creates a more uniformed broken in look VS naturally worn in jacket with still quite stiff collar and pocket especially a D pocket.

I want to get my hands on a LW 4oz+ jacket!! If I can find one that fits, I can downsize my collection from 3 to just 2 jackets!!

Great post!! I also noticed the CXL stiffness vs temp. On a hot day in the sun it is considerably softer. I really envy your LW J24!!! I saw your fit pics on another thread - absolutely amazing fit!

If it really bothers you - there is a nuclear option which is to wash the jacket in cold water with little or no detergent - use a soft towel or sponge to wipe clean the whole jacket under water in a bathtub. Drain by leaving it in bathtub then place flat on a towel. When still damp but not...

If you try to wipe the whole collar and you accidentally tough the shoulder area which can easily be done - you might get the stain on shoulders too… I would just ignore it - just wear it. This is a bit of stain on a natural CXL jacket during one of the first few days of wearing it - no idea...

Seeing and old thread being revived - I’m in my late 40s. A few years ago I was diagnosed with fatty liver - shit I wasn’t even that fat but with a 35” waist and eating loads of carbs. I lifted weights 3 times a week but doctor ordered more cardio. So I’ve since been dabbing into jujitsu and...

OMG - you should consider taking orders if not done so already! What amazing talents!! I know of a lady in UK who offers to make repo jackets - she sometimes asks for a well fitted jacket to be sent to her for pattern making.

Would love to see some pics of these!!

Beautiful jacket! Who’s the maker?

Vintage aero Thunderbay in suede steerhide

Amazing many thanks!! Much appreciated.

So I washed my suede car coat in cold water with shampoo and dried flat and it turned out great. Only thing is collar became quite dry /stiff. Anything I can apply to soften it? Rest of the coat is lovely though velvety suede.

Aero King of the Road being broken in nicely on a windy day. The D pocket still looks like new from day 1.

This awesome jacket is now SOLD! Thank you TFL. Namo Amituofo
