For comparison, here is a roughout pair of 8" Burlap Jobmaster with Domain Brown kilties after about 1 year of wear.

I'm not sure it matters to Bunyip now, but perhaps it will for others. Below is a picture of my Wesco Burlap Boss with smooth side out, black leather lining, and 1 heel lift. I've been wearing them for about 3 years. The leather pulls-up very easily, but I like it that way.

I suppose petroleum distillates once every 5 or 10 years would be acceptable. I was mainly thinking of people who want to condition their jackets constantly out of fear of a few wear marks. I obsessed over what conditioners to use for a long time, reading everything I could on the subject. I...

So I'm very late to this thread but after reading the whole thing, I feel compelled to post. I'm considering an Aero 1930s half-belt and I think I'll just have to do it. I don't have one of this style yet and it's growing on me very rapidly. Besides, working with Aero Leathers is such a...

The number size of a jacket generally corresponds to the size chest it is designed for. However there are different fits for different models. A motorcycle jacket will be designed to fit tightly, be short at the waist and have longer arms than a casual evening jacket would be - even if the...

Ah yes, that's the one I mulled over this one for a couple days before you bought it. If I didn't already have a horsehide Enfield in size 44, I would have bought this one. Mine is black. I love your color though. I don’t consider it Cordovan. Vanson calls it Reddish Tan and to me Cordovan...
