@prosperone I didn't know...

@Daniel-San While I agree IH has better materials / stitching than RRL, some of their styling / materials are just fire - like their roughout leather sueded pants or type 3 western shirts in roughout and regular leather. Plus, their hand tooled line is just to die for...

I'll start. I have four -- 4 -- of the old pale riders. I don't really know why. Most of them I bought used on ebay / grailed. Now they're tuning in somewhat handy when I need to get them professionally cleaned, which takes a good four months to turn.

But, nobody knows - nor will they know!

Pictured, #1 after its cleaning in NJ, ready to ship back to me. They are able to keep the patina while getting rid of the scum - which is just where I like it.

@Alex lol

Don't forget Bing...

@matt_rost I had purple slime on my chest pocket - something definitely that needed attention!

@Oaktavia I just look at Haraki's BB and wonder how he kept it so clean while attaining such a patina - perhaps he had it professionally cleaned at some point? Having my Pale Rider cleaned made it look much better - with patina / character, but not dirty looking.

I think there's a difference between a patina and being trashed, and I hope to stay on the former.

RRL at church

@Karol The new ones are different.

@matt_rost Mine is untreated, too, and is how I like it. I found a place in the US that cleans it without darkening it - somehow. It's an expensive endeavor, but they do a fabulous job.

@twin are your sleeve buttons tight, too?

@Oaktavia From the pale rider posts, the MP darkens it considerably. Not to my taste.

@Oaktavia So clean...

Back in for service, she is. The putty stain was just too much...

@Oaktavia It's a Papa Nui on Standard and Strange still -- searching "A-26 Cap - Veg Tan Shinki Horsehide" will get you there. There's still some L and M available.

The patina will be maddening lol.
