Got a ReLoved XL on the way....looking forward to breaking it in and trying to keep it somewhat on the natural colored side
Nothing! Natural aging...hasn't even been worn in the sunlight that I remember.
I wear it around the house at night often while watching TV to help break it in/soften it up. I think the couch material rubs off on the creases some and make those nice looking dark lines near the elbows. Sized up to XL like I normally do w/ IH. I put some 25 lbs dumbbells in the sleeves near the elbows because they were so tight/stiff at first. Then I hung the shirt. Worked like a charm. The shoulders are also a little tight, but are loosening/softening up. Fits like a glove now and is still molding to my body some I think. I have worn it out and about probably 4 times, usually at night.
Wow! It looks awesome. I am going your route...wearing it and seeing what happens as it ages naturally. I love the pale color and I love the look of aged natural leather (e.g. aged Louis Vuitton straps)
I will post some pics soon as mine has been breaking in around the house over the hottest summer I can remember here in south Louisiana.
The XL was pretty snug on me at first and I was nervous, especially at the elbow bend/bottom of biceps and shoulders/back. Re stretch: mine has definitely stretched out quite a bit via wear and me moving around in it. I also put some 25lbs dumbells in the sleeve to help it along and stretch them out around the elbow joint. It loosened up and fits pretty good now. The shoulders are still a little hemmed up, but they have loosed up a good bit with wear.
Overall, I love this one and agree with others that it is a work of art.

Any pictures of the jacket worn open?

Also...noticed that some of the pictures show a black zipper and some looked like polished metal. For those that bought it, what is the finish of the zippers?
Thanks,
Any other places to get a blank one?? Really love the look of this one, but want one with no lettering.
