    is there such a thing as applying too much conditioner and making your leather too soft?

    is there such a thing as applying too much conditioner and making your leather too soft?

    bigmanbigtruck said: No such thing. In fact, an additional benefit of overconditioning is that you can turn back the clock Peacoat said: Yes, over conditioning can permanently damage the leather. A friend of mine had a nice English saddle that he conditioned every time he used it, which was a...

    is there such a thing as applying too much conditioner and making your leather too soft?

    does this scenario exist? or does the majority of the softness scale come already dictated from the type, cut or thickness.

    Fit check on my new Cooper A2

    it's pretty amazing how our minds interpret sizing with a capture in time. it's like once you see it, it can't be undone nor will you think it's anything other than what you see. even though it's very sliding and not what you see. many pics lie with infinite detail concerning perception ...

    Leather Cafe Racer Sizing Question

    how about a 2 year update? i use to accept fits like this. longer sleeves, more room and bow out than i wanted, longer length when i knew it needed to be shorter. heavy front bulge and hangs. but eventually it was put in the closet after 1/2 seasonal years. because knew it isn't what i...

    vanson fit check

    most valuable thing i learned in taking 20 pics in 2 days is that my 33w levi's 512 are just too baggy. i could post some ridiculous pics that look like they hang 6 inches under my navel when i lift my arms up touching the ceiling with the jacket on. and when i lift my arms up high the jacket...

    i feels ya. there's a benefit of jackets being a lil' shorter as well. i think many people have things wrong. having the jacket hit the top of the buckle minimizes restrictions reducing hazards to nil. it's so much better as a safety net. better articulation, no hang ups/snags...

    channeling my inner "can you dig it" in pic 3. the optics in these pics even makes the unzipped sleeves look long but they're not. it's perfect @ 23.25 (hate when it hits the hand even slightly) the more pics i take the more i'm surprised it looks as good as it does with it being 20.5...

    vanson fit check

    what size is that and how tall are you? i don't need that much more to be 100% happy. 1 to 1.5 inches in length. (start stretching) so many variables to a perfect fit not to mention personal preferences. it's hard to have them all align. i undershot with this a little. i can return but...
