@flannel-slut

I also got my jacket, but I'm currently away on a business trip and it's going straight into the closet.
Pictures to follow!

[flannel slut]

@atanas38dimitrov nice dude… you’re in for a treat when you feel this leather

[Kjunx]

@WhiskeySandwich how’s the leather squeak breaking in ? It’s hit or miss on my Y2s on how much and how long this exists.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Kjunx still lots of squeak but I kinda tune it out now lol

[Kjunx]

@coldcashandcolderhearts what size do you have for the leather western vs the vest (e.g. same size 42 Y2, ~38M IH) or did you have to size up for the vest to work)? Thanks !

[coldcashandcolderhearts]

@Kjunx size 46 Y’2 (they run a size small) and XXL vest is the sizing of mine. I could do an XL vest for a trimmer fit.

@pechelman Can you say more about how the white deer differs from the big buck? Do you think they have different use cases?

[pechelman]

@natefreezy tj was spot on in his comparison. The big buck feels more like velvet or moleskin in the nicest chamois kind of material ever. It has a surprising stiffness to it and being unlined it wears much more like a shirt if sized that way. Especially in how it's cut in the shoulders.

The y2 deer is thick, luxurious, soft, but hard faced like a "regular" leather since its face isn't split. It wears more like a jacket than a shirt and is instantly soft and pliable. It has a significant weight to it unlike the big buck so it drapes like a heavy IH hoodie.

They're very different. One is a shirt that has jacket tendencies and the other is a jacket with shirt curiosity. Sorry for the stupid comparison. If you want a shirt, definitely get one of the big bucks. If you want a shacket/jacket then the y2 might be the one to consider first. Also know that the y2 buck is lined and has an internal pocket which may be a benefit depending on what you want.

Hope that helps @natefreezy

[natefreezy]

@pechelman Yeah very helpful comparison thanks! Does the big buck soften up some with wear?

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Daniel-San I think this leather has a lot of variation in thickness, and the minimum is 1mm. I’d say the majority is about 1.2-1.3, just pinching it in different spots.

Things is still super noisy but much more comfortable after a month of everyday wear. Brown showing thru on a lot of edges and seams.

[pechelman]

@natefreezy you're welcome. For the big buck softening, I haven't worn it enough to really say. I'd ask in that thread to get better info from those that have and put it through a wash/soak.
