Seeing those great results, and having washed many leather jackets in soapy water, I am more and more convinced that "DRY CLEAN ONLY" is some ****/collusion between leather garment makers and dry cleaners...Yep, that gave me inspiration for when I had my Schott Rancher trucker from the 80s. There's a thread on here about it as well. It had a stain I couldn't get out and was overall too small anyway. But the tub wash did wonders. And I think I used some shampoo as well, or maybe the Angelus. But either way, have no fear.
It's not always a success, one time I actually ruined a jacket. I washed out the tannins, ending up with an ugly dull hide. The body length shrunk by almost 3 inches (while the lining wad still original length).Seeing those great results, and having washed many leather jackets in soapy water, I am more and more convinced that "DRY CLEAN ONLY" is some ****/collusion between leather garment makers and dry cleaners...
Getting my SJC 33 back from Dena, she added 2” banded leather cuffs and navy blue storm cuffs to Mach the main zipper tape. As usual, her work is simply magnificent.

@jpk_NJ I gave this levis trucker a gentle handwash with regular shampoo.

Midwest Sport Togs Deerskin came in today. Traditional half-belt styling you don't see often in deerskin with the beautiful lining. I have a Milco-West in the same half-belt style but had to try this one on. A bit small for me, but will be a very nice fitted half-belt for someone.

Stopped telling myself that I could go on without one in the closet. Just one or two more jackets that I have in my mind to own, then I’ll pull a quasi-A1.
That is awesome!
Now is this one that you had had your eye on for awhile or just a spur of the moment thing?
