@weftyarn Nice fit.

[weftyarn]

Thanks @twin

@weftyarn that jacket just looks better and better---any signs of the tea core peeking through yet?

[weftyarn]

@dinobarnesberlin thanks mate! No significant difference to the pics I posted before.

[dinobarnesberlin]

@weftyarn I will be trying to keep up with the process however long it takes---maybe it will be slow going then all of a sudden bang! There it is

Damn it … now you’ve all got me thinking about one of these.

I need another jacket, like I need another hole in my head

[Brandrea]

Question about the sleeve opening measurements … are those zipped or unzipped?

Asking for a friend.

But think of how good you would look walking around with that hole in your head

just measured mine and it matches the sizing chart when unzipped. The forearms on mine fit pretty trim even without zipping as an fyi.

[Brandrea]

@pechelman thank you for that!

Would you mind giving me the zipped cuff size?

[pechelman]

@Brandrea the cuff closes down from 5" to 4" on my size large. As a note, the zip on the gusset at its opening is 2" wide, so this creates a 1" wide fold of leather that needs room inside the cuff, along with your wrist, so it might feel more snug than that.

[Brandrea]

@pechelman thanks so much for this information, I really appreciate it!

[weftyarn]

Sleeve update. This leather is wicked! Love the way it buckles rather than wrinkling.

[pechelman]

Love the way yours is showing age @weftyarn !

My horse is just a foal by comparison with the first bits of tea core showing.

And just to double check, this is the normal and expected type of wear to see, right? It looks a little more flaking/chipping than what maybe I was expecting.

Awesome sleeve tunneling guys.
