New Jacket: Simmons Bilt Detroit

The oils in it will keep it that way. When it's cold it'll be stiff. When it's warm it'll relax. It was below freezing in Chicago today and I wore mine for a minute and quickly switched to my Vanson. Was a tin man in CXL.

So the oils in Clayton stay in the skin longer than other brands? Just trying to understand why MRB's Clayton leather jacket is still stiff after a year.

Mine is not 'stand on its own stiff' but it is no slouch. A year, you say? Haha ok I will keep that in mind. It's like wearing a coat of licorice--impossibly black with a dull shine.

But MRB, how could such thin horsehide stay stiff for a full year of steady use? It seems odd.

Sometimes I think I should have asked for shoulder gussets. I could use a bit more movement of the arms.
