My new Montgomery Ward-nothing like putting on an old horsehide that's about my age. Smells like old Horsehide and a bar. Nothing like the smell of old horsehide in the morning.

No-name again. The jacket is heavy (5.8 lbs after Obenauf's treatment - softened the leather a great deal), but sits on the shoulders very well and causes no fatigue after all day running errands yesterday. Also, the leather was very squeaky before Obenauf's; it is totally quiet after. Just a data point for those with squeaky jackets. :)

I am utterly amazed by the quality of this hh Kit Karson. It's a tier above my 50s steerhide Hercules and Windward mc jackets. Two tiers maybe.

The wool lining had a few holes in it which I fixed today. Next up are the gussets, I need to install an elastic band to pull them in. That'll be a job for next weekend.

There's a size 40 for sale by the way. It looks to be in even better condition. Very reasonably prized:

As nice as jackets get.

The black sun Kit has 22” P2P btw.
