    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Beautiful answer. My arms are like 25.5" from shoulder or 35" to 36" from nape so not sure if this one will work. But I love this group!

    Conditioning Leather

    All natural stuff, apparently. I even googled some use it for skin care,but I'd not recommend that just yet.

    Conditioning Leather

    I must say, and not sure why, but that obenauf's oil smells incredible. Almost dries in your hands which is so weird!

    Vanson Model F Brown Comp Weight 42

    I am floored by the look. Can it be cared for with light sprits of distilled water and horsehair brush coupled with some bickmore 4? I wouldn't think obenauf's oil would be great but way too risky for darkening. Also, the new style vanson model b jackets you can buy today on their websire don't...

    Schott 689H fit and long term wear

    I managed to get 2 a while back and am trying to move from this apartment and need to clean up around here. The 38 and 44 both have the factory price tags on the left arm, but I want to keep the 44. You want a 641hh in 38? Washington DC here.

    Conditioning Leather

    I have noticed it's remarkable. The leather has become very very soft and pleasant but not damp or mushy. The bottle spilled and I didn't want to waste what spilled, I couldn't resist. Late 80s, schott 118 tested well! I did this because I hated the upset threads, that hopefully stabilized...

    FS: Himel Bros. Kensington Size 40

    Beautiful jacket. My arms need 25 or 25.5 which makes things tricky with some garments! I'm trying to find a home for a brand new 641hh in size 38 but not sure what I want to do.

    Conditioning Leather

    What do you think about using obenauf's leather oil on naked cowhide on say a late 80s 118 schott? It's a very dry to the touch oil. Weirdest stuff I've seen and to be honest, I love the stuff and am a tad obsessed.

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

    Schott 689H fit and long term wear

    Good question. I have the 641hh. Two of them in fact. Both still with labels on them laying on the top of each other in their own garment bags. I have yet to start wearing the size 44. The size 38 is simply too small for my arm length which needs roughly 25 in or 35.5 in from the middle of my...

    New Schott Perfecto 618 Horsehide peeling... :(

    But say we have had a HH schott jacket 'new' for a few years but never got to wear it and we find this? Or that we have worn a HH schott jacket for years and then we find this happens? What is the top coat made from? I bet we could fix it with a leather top coat. Also wouldn't a top coat...

    New Schott 118 - Leather Dye Transfer Issue

    Consider hydrating the jacket with a little waxy oil such as obenauf's leather oil. I must say, it's a great product that's all natural, smells great and is dry to the touch no matter how much you overdose! Will darken obviously! But it's a clear colored oil. May create a micro barrier for...
