Technovox put it up on the thread Monday afternoon. Gave me a great deal on it. Didn't have time to drive over the bridge to pick it up. He popped it in the mail, and Wednesday, I have a vintage orange label bit E, in beautiful condition. My first suede jacket. I think it was built for me.
I think it's pretty cool.

Thanks man.

So, teach me. Are they blurry? Bad lighting? Should I take them outside in daylight? Get a selfie stick? The mirror thing not working? I have an iPhone for pictures. When I look at them, they open a bit blurred, then self correct and clear up after a second. Closer up shots? More of the jacket without trying to do fit pics?
I'm still learning.

Thanks

@jonesy86 They're a bit blurry, is all. Can't see them texture and stuff. :) Everything else is fine.

And I just bought two more. Both en route. One is a pure motorcycle jacket, the other a 8lbs tank that you can't even crumple.

Saint Laurent red suede jacket, available from Mr Porter. (Just don't look at the price...)

Main attraction of my leather jean jacket collection was supposed to be this one but it's way too small... Bah! Hunt for one in my size begins.

As expected, the riveted buttons on these jackets are useless. I've already lost three! Really glad that Aero I got has snaps. I would've probably made a mistake and order one with buttons otherwise...

just rub it in with a cloth? I saw someone on you tube use a hair dryer to get it to set in. Ever heard of that?

Yep, it does help with the wax. I use it too but it's not really essential. I mean, I'm probably doing it all wrong but the two jackets I dyed turned out great. Can't even get any of the dye to rub off... I use a cloth, yeah and mostly my fingers, though.
