I've been liking the Filson quilted jackets, especially the one that give the option to zip into the oilcloth coats. Been waiting for them to make it to Outlet Store. I'm very patient and always polite when I ask them when?when? when?
I have a Cal-Leathers jacket from Lucky23 incoming.
So I want to sell a couple to make room.
Went to bottom of pile and pulled out a Enfield and Columbia in goat to sell. Measured, took pictures, tried them on.

In Seattle. Division Road, they have a good website also.
Ebbets Field, is a place I recently found. They have a passion for historically correct baseball uniforms.
Of course, Filson
I went with what I had on hand and used the Langlitz conditioner. Here's the results. It's darkened the color and softened the leather. I'll post up in a month or two to show how it effects the leather. By then the buttons will match and have new pocket liners made.
I may have posted this without text, picked up a 1930's leather jacket with patina galore. Leather on arms and wrists are dryer than body. I tried some Langlitz Treatment on inside of collar, see picture.
