need your thoughts. i have a tired looking rough out suede. i want to dye it but i don't want it to end up chocolate brown. i guess if things go south i can always go black. i already tossed this into the wash so the be careful gloves have already come off. thinking about using angelus...

oh, lawd. at least you have a story and some artwork. maybe you can reverse it? rip out the liner and saturate it with oil. at that point begin the taffy pull back to paydirt. i used obenauf's which worked okay. it just seems to wear off and only provide only a little give. people crack...

nice....light at the end of the tunnel. just wear it and beat the crap out of it. extended hard wear is prolly the key. although i really want to turn into an oil fiend. i like experiments. pretty sure i can't throw enough at the vanson. but once you get used to the tight fit all other...

unless the pics are lying the font and back look pretty damn good for being bigger size. (outside of the long sleeves) you can tell it's more relaxed but there's still a pronounced taper and a good profile. plus your chest and biceps/arms aren't fighting back providing the safest articulation...

just finished the wash. i had it on hand wash but i didn't feel it was going to get enough agitation in order to clean. so i put it on quick wash for 25 min. jacket came out a mess..misshapen, folds, pulls. i didn't even button it because i wanted the liner to get clean as well. i knew it...

stink is back after the vinegar wore off in the slight sun and breeze. but it's a new and slightly improved smell. i'm tossing it in the washer. fortune favors the bold. although shrinkage might rear it's head

just a little overreaction. i just want the same fit unzipped vs zipped. but the higher i zip doing the hulk smash becomes harder. i'm not a 40 or 42. going it that direction will ruin the unzipped fit and give me the Monty Capuletti regular guy look. trade offs.

i'm going to put 2 sweatshirts on underneath, zip it up and then work out in it. after that hit it with a whole jar of vasoline or more obenauf's oil

do you think you could've taken him back in the day, or would his craziness prevail?

you say you want moar pics?

never have a had a 19.6 p2p restrict so much when zipped. almost all thinner fabrics jackets have enough of a give to retain a slim fit and move easily. but the vanson says "nah....i'm not going to loosen easy for you". i'm not small but i'm not jacked buff either. you would think that a...

ty for all the advice. the vinegar did wonders. is this jacket considered roughout?

i sprayed the crap out of it. but i forgot to dilute the vinegar. lol.... halfway through the drying process it just added another smell to the mix. so much so that i almost threw it in the washing machine at that time. as it dried further i began to only smell vinegar, well mostly. so this...

i feel better about using vinegar than vodka. i'm going to try this

brutal smell. can't place it. hard to describe. maybe an amalgamation of smells or maybe something else. it doesn't smell like body odor at all. best way to describe is like a chemical smell. although i can't rule out a hint of wet dog. currently it's in a bag with baking soda trying to...
