Photo Update on my first FS after a couple of months of moderate wear.

Maybe I should strip it with acetone and give it the „Jeremiah“-Treatment...

I like the undertones. This is how I wish my BK arco would look like.
Looks good Ties. Might look better and better as is with time.
You could see what a bit of isopropyl alcohol would do first. Acetone is just quicker.

Could be the dye used. Not as light fast as others or it might not have had as much top sealing and allowed more for rub off and transfer.

Sure...there we go...
Zip was changed some 10 years ago and is not original any more, the fleece is getting very thin at the edges and flaking is very much in evidence but I really like the way this jacket has aged...it still manages to turn some heads

It speaks volumes for Eastman that it is still a great looking jacket after more than 20years of hard wear during the cold season...

One has to ask do you find the jacket to short and are you constantly pulling it down especially when you reach forward or up .
