How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

At least try to. For me it takes practice.

Thanks man. This is a Thurston model. Markos. I think it's just regular veggie burger. Nothing too special about the leather. But the jacket finishing details are extraordinary!

Gonna give this Bravestar Badlands jacket a try. I like the concept and and I’ve always wanted to give a Type II a try. Teacore, unlined, what’s not to like? It’s almost like a version of the Mister Freedom Campus (which I have been close to ordering at times) in a Type II fit for half the price. Pre-ordered.

Oakbrook Satin-Twill MC jacket. Studded. Like new. It even has the Oakbrook acorn pull. Tried to resist but could not. Changing my name to Locutus of TFL.

I don’t blame you, just about went for it myself. Very cool, unique MC jacket. I call dibs if you decide later to sell/move it on.

Congratulations. Need all the information on the Rare Bird for the Sears MC thread. Great buy. That should serve you well in your climate.

Just not sure how well that would clean up with a dry cleaning session. I've never really attempted a suede clean. Otherwise it will make a good dog training jacket with my shepherd
It takes time. Lots of attempts. Nice and easy. Be careful with the old suede, rough out, etc. If you scrub it too much in one place or too hard, it can wear through. I had an old Sears with a nickel sized hole after some vigorous scrubbing lol. Learned my lesson. I would have been pissed if I did that to my rough out Cal.

Buy some suede shampoo, a suede eraser, and suede brush. Nice jacket choice.
I have been wanting to get a rancher coat for a while. Not necessarily suede, I was looking more at corduroy MacGregors, but that’s a great choice.

wash it in the tub with some angelus suede cleaner or light detergent. Be real gentle, slush it around, etc. The color of the water is going to blow your mind. Rinse thoroughly. Let air dry away from direct sunlight. You'll be fine. Once fully dry, you can then use a suede brush to perk it up.

I had good results with having a deerskin suede jacket dry cleanedJust not sure how well that would clean up with a dry cleaning session. I've never really attempted a suede clean. Otherwise it will make a good dog training jacket with my shepherd
The cost about $100

Congratulations!
These are the Schott jackets I love, they made so many cool civilian jackets and most affordable on the used market. Every day I see one or sometimes more that I want.
Just read all the excellent cleaning Tips!
