New fake Bomber

[1avrgjoe]

This is my new fake Bomber Jacket. The Wilson's leather store at the outlet mall was closing and getting rid of all stock cheap, I got it for $90. It's pigskin and fake wool. I like the look of it and it's a good warm jacket, it's got a zip off hood. I wanted a real Bomber but I decided that it's not smart to pay around $1000 for a jacket that I will only wear 4 times a year. With this one I can wear it to work and not have to worry about ruining an expensive jacket. I spent the money on a Highwayman that I can wear almost all year here (I live in mA). One thing I want to try to do is make the leather softer, now it's hard and cheap feeling. Anyone have any recommendations for products to soften the leather w/out altering the appearance to much?

You can try just wearing it around the house to break it in, and/or apply some Pecards leather dressing. In fact I think it will make your jacket look a bit less dry and distressed, and make the colour richer. It's a one off thing, you most likely won't need to reapply except in the distant future.

Hey Average: Will take time, but Pretty good looking fake for $90. PS if you are a 46 and want to sell a Highwayman let me know. Welcome--John

Hey, I'm in MA as well (North Central to be exact). Sure been cold enough lately! Nice snag for $90 on the Wilson, and you even get to try it on prior
to purchase (unlike my ebay attempts at trying to find something that fits). Lookin' good!
