That’s what I mean about the hides though. That wear looks good to my eye yet I have worn the snot out of my ELC monarch. Abused it and used it and nearly beat it like a well. You know the saying.
Yet despite all that the finish just won’t wear off around the edges and corners. That is some stout finish.
The grain is there and wrinkles though like on the above platon Dubow.

Yes, just from getting soaked more than once and very hard wear. The grain was there from the off, just quite so pronounced.

This one has been subject to abrasive mud and other stuff which stayed put while i worked until hosed off, akin to taking a scouring pad or wet and dry abrasive paper. I've got a high end jacket away at present which has been similarly abused and the finish has gone from the high spots and some edges on that too in similar fashion to some of my originals - not that I wore them jobbing about.

Sorry, is what orange?
Photo taken in direct, strong sunlight using the same phone that I used to take the earlier fresh out of the box photos.

Those pics will have to do me until hopefully on Monday now... It just HAS to drag it's self out at the tail-end of the journey... 
If mine is similar in grain to the outstanding example above, and the listed measurements for my size followed, all will be great in my Dubow world....

Looks damn fine to me.
That’s the way to treat a flight jacket.
The results look awesome.

Oh dear, mail already been today I take it?
Back in the '60's when I started collecting as a kid with a bit of pocket money and generosity of family I would buy thing out of the militaria section in Exchange & Mart. Waiting for the most insignificant item to be delivered was torture, but the expectation quite enjoyable in a way.
...and yes that does sound weird!

How sad to think that jacket might be a relative of hers

More than likely why she was not keen on it being on her back
She's a Suffolk Punch, once a very common agricultural working horse around these parts but sadly on the rare breeds / endangered list now.

Better hope she does not take off. Ha.
