Hi again,
I just got word from YMC that they're in fact sold out of the Time Worn "Washed" Capeskin A-1 - they forgot to update their online inventory :eusa_doh: They do have another ELC A-1 in my size though which I am now thinking about buying.
The color is a lighter brown than the time-worn version, but to me the leather also looks like it underwent some kind of treatment to break it in and give it a vintage look - or am I imagining things? As it's hard to get reliable info out of YMC, I was wondering if you guys recognize this leather and can give me an opinion - I am worried it might not be as soft as the Time Worn one (as I am looking to buy a softer, broken in jacket). I wonder when I buy a non-time worn ELC jacket, how much wear would it need to have it look similar to the "time-worn" one, and also if the color will become darker with wear...
This is the jacket I am talking about:

And for comparison, this is the time-worn version which I intended to buy, but is sold out now:

Thanks again for your help!
