do you dare to commit to wear a single jacket for a month through all your waking hours?

@tommer.. love the BK..
the picture is displaying sideways, which I struggle with also sometimes, but I think I figured out why.. are you using an Iphone? if so is the burst function on? ( where the camera takes 10 pictures) if so select 1 and delete the rest.. i think that should fix it... or maybe not.. but give it a try

Schot 613SH, day 8 on the 1-month commitment. Caught in a light shower during photo taking.

It's coming along, slowly. The left side is softer and graining much more than the right. Same with the sleeves. It may end up being one of those jackets with large grained panels that are far more pronounced on one side. I'm OK with that.

Oops, forgot to post the photo of the back.

Gamma68, that rain will do the jacket good for the breaking-in. Also, some in Japan would pay big bucks for that kind of inconsistency.

That's why I give it a light spray with a water bottle each day before wearing.

What is it about water that helps leather break in?

I don’t know the answer but I’m curious, too. Bump.

Back on course..

So I may actually end up joining in on this after all. My Caboose and Sunset are now on their way to Dave Sheeley to have the sleeves shortened. When my brown Mulholland arrives, I may actually wear that for a month straight if the weather allows me.

I never wanted to say but thought the sleeves looked a tad long for someone with your exacting eye.

Oh I always knew they were, but I knew I could fix them when they were annoying enough and I finally got annoyed enough to do something about it.

The Mulholland sleeves are not as long so I might be able to get away with those.

day 20, many days inbetween skipped simply too hot

It’s finally cold in Barcelona!

I can wear leather jackets again. So Grizzly time when I do wear a leather jacket.
