do you dare to commit to wear a single jacket for a month through all your waking hours?

It looks great, Nick. Yeah, I really like the Vic half-belt. I often have mine hanging on the wall as art. I love looking at the pattern.

Do you like the weight? A bit thicker than your preference no?
The nice thing about Vicenza is it's really pliable right away. Moreso than any other horsehide I've tried.

I see a jacket yielding to it’s Master.
If anyone can do it it’s you Monitor.
Sweet surrender!

My batch of Vicenza is fairly stiff - I wouldn't say it was especially pliable. But it is certainly wearable and lightish. It has a kind of rubbery feel to it - not in a bad way - but it feels springy and kind of rigid in the manner of a dense neoprene wetsuit.

It's showing a bunch of creasing and wear after a few months. Do I like it? It does the job - I am not especially moved either way but hide qualities don't often excite me the way they do others here. As I keep saying, the only test is how the jacket wears and looks in a decade. I know there are some here that think Vicenza will wear out fast.

Day 12 it gets slow, but will get to day 30 eventually

How long has it been now? I don't know how much the jacket actually changed, but it certainly leveled up. Full on Twin Peaks mode.

Do it. Seriously, no regrets. I'm getting another one. This, Iron Heart, the trucker Ken made and I can live a happy life.

Tempting but i’d have to orphan some Cals and some learning curve leathers. Don’t know if i’d live long enough to break a new one, so guess i’ll look for a pre-loved one. Lol Maybe your’s if you ever loose your mind. Ha

Nope. Wasn't me. I see it went real cheap, though... Someone lucked out.
