The only thing I dislike about goat is the length of time it takes to get 'patina'.
Considering a pre 'patina-ed' shearling next Fall 'ELC' 50 Cal
I put pylons in front of you before you bought that. Shearling breaks in fast. I’m saying that owning the Lost Worlds Anj4 (quoted to be the heaviest leather) and I had signs of stretching in the top coat in the elbows after two weeks. My jacket looks amazing now. People don’t even know what to make of it, it looks so good.

why would anyone put a tramp stamp on a jacket...Now that you mention it, I did see this jacket a few times before...
As far as wear goes... I always thought this is just a perfect amount of patina.
The CR is a Bates, yes.WOW! Love the Perecto and the CR. Is that a Bates CR? Beautiful!
Patina is tricky. Initially, it's the moment where you get a massive scratch on your jacket and you're left feeling slightly/massively appalled at this. But over time, you gather marks, scratches, creases, scrapes that gradually merge to create character. Takes years, but you get to the point where, if you're lucky, you can throw on a jacket and it's you.
I love it when a jacket has a story to tell, some character from years of honest use, or at least spent some time around the track more than a few times. I'd rather have the real deal than some new jacket that's been obviously "distressed" or faked wear. But it's not for everyone...Great points.
How do you feel about wearing a vintage jacket that already has lots of patina, perhaps acquired over decades by several owners?
Patina to me is that smooth burnished faded look on the surface and folds of the jacket and along some edges. Scrapes and scratches fall into a separate mileage category to me. Sometimes the more extreme is just
damage. Two quite different appearances to me.

I'd like a better fitting HWM
Is that even possible?

Well I have a 42 chest so went with a 42, knowing what I know now I think a 40 would have been even better, I did ask to be able to layer underneath which I can, so I did get what I wanted at the time, just don't seem to wear many layers any more.
