How did you get it back in the bag and then back in the box so perfectly?

 

[ausreenactor]

Is this the $7000 jacket or the $5000 jacket they offer ?

When i bought it at the pop up shop..there was a defect already with one of the knits so they took it back to their factory to change it and then they shipped it to me last week. It was actually better this way as i did not have space in my luggage to bring it back to Luxembourg with me on the airplane. But its true that their knits are super fragile!! At one point i will have to put a better ones

A different day, a different chum, same rustic spot in the barn. Cold this morning so I resubbed membership of the Fraternal Order Of The Large Collar Wearers to do bit of breaking in on this ELC RW B-3..

He’s looking very attentive... you must be holding onto a treat for him

This can be done without knitting replacement (if you are satisfied with the quality and color of your knits of course), but using those that you have, knits could be shorten them by your tailor.

I have followed your advice... The jacket is at my reliable local tailor Natalja... She will detach the waistband, shorten and reattach it. All for 15,- Euro.

The jacket will be ready within a week.

I was twirling a bit of straw but had a few horse treats in my pocket ....she loves horse treats!

Apologies for the slightly fuzzy images, I dropped my phone recently and it's objecting by not focussing properly.

I did this on one of my B-15s. If the tailor is good, then everything will be fine and completely invisible.

The leather is fantastic!! Looks just how i like it! I wish mine to look like that as well after some use. Which model and brand it is?

 

[jeremiah]

This is my BK dubow. It looked like this new. More wrinkles than grain.

Classic... Looks great!

 

[Serghei87]

Is there a way to make the leather get these wrinkles?

I just love the jackets with lots of wrinkles like this one from ELC

I would think that the leather gets treated so heavily before the jacket is sewn together...

Does anybody have other ideas?! Hot water treatment? Chemicals? Some kind of heating / cooling process?
