Get it wet and wear till dry or hang on a padded hanger.So for once its raining again in the good ol'north east of England .
Is it a bad / good idea to wear out , my ELC A2 to try and break it in a little ?
I get precious little time to wear anything other than work attire these days .
Advice ??

I wouldnt dare sell it on pain of death from my good lady, as it was a present from her !!Carl
Here’s my take on this.
If you are owning this jacket with the idea that one day you may sell it, then baby it and keep it as new as possible whenever you wear it.
However, if you are keeping this jacket for life and hope that one day it will look like some of the well used A2’s we’ve seen on the “ hard wear “ thread,
then wear that thing , beat the piss out of it, take it off and throw it in a corner at night .
This is one area where “mint” only counts if your selling it, not if your keeping it.
Once you think about which way you want to go with your ELC.... the acceptance part is much easier.
Cheers
Go on! Get it rain soaked, shovel horse shyte in it, fork out pee soaked straw in it, get pulled over in slippy mud that's more slippery than a slippy thing, mow the lawn in it [like I just did -in the dark - in December], wash the truck in it, dig ditches in it. You are more than welcome to come and do that stuff here! Work clothes are for working, not posing
