Hohoho
Obenauf "dyed", zippertape finally showing its intended contrast
Happy with the color, i wont sun tan it no more, just normal wear from here on, i dont care if obenauf freezes the color this way i like it like this, and a good base for any patina if theres more.

Wearing my new (to me) Sears Oakbrook D-pocket that I just picked up from the post office. I was worried the hem would be a bit too tight. It’s just right.

The back design is one of the reasons I really like the old Sears jackets. Lots of cool different configurations. Old Wards too.

If you say ONE word about my sleeves being too short, I'll bite your ankles.

It seems to have the biker attitude... maybe I'm just imagining it... yes I definitely am.

Thanks! I agree, to me the kidney panel is one of the highlights of the design.

Almost a made to order fit apart from the sleeves being a little short but thats a style in itself. Love how this looks on you and the back design especially the studded kidney panel looks awesome here

thanks, yeah now they are all in somewhat similar tone together, boot is the oldest was tan color not a veg tan and over the years it gets darker a little, wallet is vegtan but dyed yellow and varnished gloss it gets browner much slower than a natural vegtan belt clip bought the same time from the same brand that is already dark brown by now, jacket is the last one completely natural used to be treated only with mink oil then I use carseat waterbase conditioner and now this obenauf.

I have now reached just over a month of wearing my Vanson Chopper every day. I never knew I would enjoy wearing a jacket this much. It helps that my grandfather had a motorcycle jacket with quilting back in the day so it really reminds me of him. My phone camera is broken right now but I'll try and post some pictures as soon as I get it fixed. It's definitely gotten a lot more comfortable and broken in a bit.

First outing for the 5 Star Old man Logan or Spongebob Strangepocket? To me it feels like something Benny Blanco from the Bronx in Carlitos Way might wear. I think this is my favorite 5* to date. As usual there are things that could be improved, always learning.

The Taubers is out of this world.
