Mixed beeswax with some dark Brown leather dye and gave the New 5star a couple of coats with that. Brought out some shine and reduced the mottled effect. Love the result. View attachment 258254

Great fit!

I’ve been considering a comet in either octagon or one of the brown leathers.

Did you have to add to the length?

My cotton cossack arrived, nice thick quite heavy, brushed twill with some soft nap feel, color is olive, on the inside of the cuff there is brown cord with big wales, pocket welt is something like velour / velvet chocolate brown same color with buttons, buttons is also necked stoutly hopefully will not dangling. Same button size everywhere, not backed with small button inside, 2 inside pockets also thick, what visible inside when the the jacket is open is quite neat facing is nice and flat top stitched , around the shoulder and side seam inside is single felled however still quite neat and not visible , slide buckle is a bit oversize for the jacket and simple looking, but quite heavy and seems solid and round so it wont eat away the cotton strap. Neck hole is sized perfectly on my thin neck i hate it when a collared jacket has huge gap to my neck. Patch pockets are too high for hand warmer purpose, but ideal enough to carry things like pocket tissue, ipod, smart phone better be inside mine sticking out there not deep enough unlined but since it is brushed cotton it feel soft probably safe to carry glasses inside. Collar is quite wide probably a bit too big to be worn with standing collar, the other side is also the same fabrics. Sleeve long enough and not too wide appear wider in photo because there is still folding line , i will wet it and warm iron it a bit to get rid of the line

Workmanship is neat no dangling thread, looks a lot nicer than the price and neater than some of my denim jacket.

despite the scare for the body length on the chart this one is paired with low rise pants and still works fine. Im happy with it.

It is beautiful to look at and it smells great. My wife said, “that’s what leather should smell like”. She then added I should get rid of everything I own and stock up on nice smelling jackets. Won’t happen sweetie, won’t happen.

This Shinki feels more substantial than its actual weight. It doesn’t look or feel anything like the Jelado I had, which was amazing, but it felt, and was, light. Both will break in beautifully.

Awsome, so I assume that when sb got shinki they ordered it not skived down? What do you think? Why else would sb have a heavy jacket made of shinki (built like a tank) and other makers have lite shinki
