If I recall, you had one with the ribs replaced with blue ones right? There was not much info on LW G-1s around so your posts really inspired me to try this one out!

Oops, I think that's another person, I have never owned a LW G-1. I have a J24 (HH)

You're right, my mistake I'm thinking of El Marro's jacket haha!

I really want a LW J-24, it's probably my most sought after jacket right now so colour me jealous!

I wasn't expecting much from this Lost Worlds G-1 at first but WOW! The grain is amazing and it has become softer and softer and taking on a sheen as well. That's what I love about the old goatskin G-1s you see around they seem to take on a shine from being worn a lot.

On my jacket the seams have puckered up a little and starting to gloss up on the higher contact areas where it's raised. Really loving the way this jacket is changing, and even though I gained about 10kg it still fits really great, maybe even better since it was a bit big on me before.

The pockets however, looks completely flat basically, the leather is layered up and too thick to crease readily like the rest of the jacket so I don't have much changes going on there YET! View attachment 707422

You can’t just post something like that without telling us what it is.

How does one gets their jackets to show grains like these 1930s relics? Is it just time? The latter jacket is Jeo’s

Leather selection and especially tanning process. Unfortunately not every jacket is just waiting to age into that.

Are you saying they began with something like these and were made into leather jackets?

Early stages on a recently acquired Headwinds A2 Racer in buffalo. Curious to see where this goes.

Sorry for spamming this thread but my LW G-1 is just getting to that phase where I am loving the grain, here is the back.

A little more striations on the right side!

Is this Jerky HorseHide?

 

[Peter Mackin]

Schott 115,feels like a soft sweater compared to my vanson chopper, anyone sitting on the fence about buying a mouton collar, do it, very comfortable, great quality, especially the real mouton.

No, it’s tumbled cordovan fqhh. Jerky looks similar, but is essentially teacore and much more flexible and more comfortable sooner.
