Experience with Kakishibu Horsehide Leather

Congrats! One of the nicest leathers around, if you are after a natural hide.
Break-in isn’t too wild. Mine took one or two drizzles, and was pretty malleable after that. If you want to speed up the process, you can roll the jacket into a “sausage” and kneel on it. The Chore-Jacket has no zipper, so you cannot do any damage. Wearing it “naturally” for a few weeks will do the trick as well, of course.

Cool - thanks. Yeah, I'm hoping for a good rain that I can go out in!

Don't condition it! Kakishibu leather reacts hard to oils and might get permanently blotchy and spotty. Not all, but it happens.
And as for the rain, leather jackets are not supposed to get wet, least of all ones that are made from vegetable tanned leather. There isn't a single reason, let alone benefit, of getting your leather jacket wet.
On a side note, these guys tried to escape hype fashion so hard that they did a full circle and caught up with it. Literally Philipp Plein jeans.

The ghost of Hoosierdaddy just passed by with his spray bottle and said: "what was that, plebe?" while Stu nodded in approval.
