Another Diamond Dave J-100

[pawineguy]

Chris' jacket is steerhide, like Carlos I say go stand in the rain [emoji6]

I thought about it but I tend to only stand in the rain by accident - currently it's getting some indoor, mild, hot water treatment. Just to give it a little work until I can really start wearing it.

Paw, congrats to a great looking and fitting jacket! I'm happy to see it on you and see the great fit.
I was wondering how tall you are and what your actual chest is.
And how long is your jacket and how wide is the chest width of your jacket?

If you wet it, wear it! The sleeves in particular will get nice more quickly...

+1. While many have had neutral or positive experiences rain soaking their leather -- whatever leather it might be -- I remain concerned that there is at least some potential for a negative outcome. Therefore, I personally continue to take the safe route and avoid rain.

I am, giving it some flexing in the arms. Not sure it's actually going to do much with a top coated jacket. Water really beads up and doesn't soak in at all.

Take a shower...in it

This is turning into an exercise in putting me into uncomfortable positions...

Nice steerhide J100.
How long should be waiting after order it?

Paw, have you read my question?
"I was wondering how tall you are and what your actual chest is.
And how long is your jacket and how wide is the chest width of your jacket?“
Great jacket, bro!

Great jacket, bro!

Yes, I was working on getting measurements for you. I'm 6'2", but with long legs, so my torso is shorter than typical for someone my height. My chest measures 41" and the chest measures just under 23" pit to pit. The back length is right around 25.75 to 26.0".

Thank you so much! I’m sorry for my impatience!

Interesting apparently, Chris, your jacket is the first made from DD's new J-100 pattern.

Dave worked with John from GW to redraft the J-100 pattern from an original.

Yes, I saw that on his Facebook page and meant to mention it here. Thanks for catching that!

 

[SpeedRcrX]

You're welcome! It also means I'm going to have the new pattern too

 

[Superfluous]

Any idea how the patterns differ?

Not sure. Length seems to be tweaked but I'm not sure what else, or that he'd want to share that info.

Chris I really like your new DD J-100 and nice to see DD getting positive exposure here. After all the guy is from Tulsa, which is only 250 mile straight north of Dallas. I expect Texas to annex Oklahoma any year now for one huge superstate called Texoma. Actually if one looks at a map, Texas and Oklahoma really do appear as one territory. No kidding.
