Update: Morten offered to take my jacket back, but in the end, probably mostly through inertia, I kept it. I'm glad I did. I started wearing it in my study (it's hot here now and my kid keeps the ac at polar) and gradually started to see the grain emerging and the jacket softening up. I lost any doubts I had when I saw that the grain patterns differed on different sections: e.g., on one arm one side of the stitching is extremely grainy while on the other it's fairly smooth. The whole jacket has also started looking much better the more I've worn it, so I'm pretty happy with it now. I'm thinking maybe this week of giving it the alcohol rubdown, but I'm a bit leery of it. Anyway, I just wanted to report into HQ with my findings.
