Pour compléter: j'ai bien reçu le HWM cordovan. très bien, sauf un truc : le cuir déteint au frottement. Il laisse des traces rougeâtres sur tout ce qu'il touche. Ya t-il quelque chose à faire, un produit à passer ?? Merci !

Thanks for your feedback. Regards.

Superbe veste. J'ai commandé presque la même en occasion ; pas marron, mais en cordovan. Très patinée. J'ai juste une crainte : la taille. C'est un 42. Je mesure 1,80 m et pèse 84 kg, et j'espère qu'elle ne sera pas trop ample, car vous nous avez conseillé de prendre une taille inférieure pour...

Hello, is that the glossy Highwayman you wore on YouTube when introducing a second-hand brown HWM ? If so, it did really age with grace !

The same trick used by chinese phone makers who install Leica optical in their mainstream phones. Most users are not into professionnal photography and "Leica" just sounds as a legend to share.

Thank you for that label archives ! Good to talk with people that have proofs in their pocket !

Okay! So, do we see this jacket or not? This will be an opportunity to talk about facts and concrete datas.

I've been listening to the ongoing discussion, and I must admit : it's a real thriller with cliffhangers in almost every episode. But frankly, I was hoping for a photo or two of that "famous" jacket at the end. Isn't it what Hitchcock called a MacGuffin: a pretext to move a story forward. And...

waiting for Godot in leather jacket ;-)

I've just bought a bottle of neatsfoot oil. Hope it'll work and smooth my jacket. Anyone tried this on horsehide?

I mean : it stiffens also in cool weather (under 60 °F), even at home when stored in a cool room.

Merci pour ce conseil. Je ne suis pas sûr de trouver « Pecard » ici, mais je vais chercher quelque chose qui s'en rapproche… Le vrai problème avec cette veste de cheval, c'est qu'elle se raidit quand il fait froid et ne se redresse pas quand il fait plus chaud. Je ne peux l'assouplir que...
