What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

Okay keep that one!

 

[Monitor]

No, keep the one with the stripes. It's nicer all around and fits you better in the shoulders. Also, stripes.

Completely contradictory advice...

 

[nick123]

The first one fits better, but the second is plain jane cool-and rare. Nevermind Ivan's stripe fetish!

 

[Monitor]

There's really no question you should keep the first one. The second one's got that dorky patch. What's that, a cartoon elephant? Man...

Hey now.. I like the elephant patch. I like the stripes too though...

Well, I'd play with one of them and some hot water. Just me, if you're careful, you can't really hose it. I've read guys washing in hot water and then sticking it in the dryer on high and were shocked - SHOCKED - that it shrunk a lot LOL
I've never had bad results. Just use some common sense.

 

[casechopper]

I'll have to look into it more. I've never done a hot water treatment. Is it just dipping in hot water and then letting air dry to see how much shrinkage you get? Or is there longer term soaking? Or are we talking boiling and running in the dryer on high for a weekend <JK>

Here's a search for the HWT topics. Since so much has been written already, no sense it trying to sum it up. Lots here, so have a look.

Hi guys and gals. Bought this in a charity shop last week for £30. Looks very much like an aero thunder bay but is probably dated from the 50's. Likely to be horsehide. Any thoughts?
Regards Dan
