@MassiveThighs I agree with everyone else, I think it looks awesome. I have been wearing mine open for the most part. Those sleeves are gonna stack up soooo fine!!

[Luijim78]

Finally a few days with temperatures suitable for life to wear it!!!

[Mister_Brue]

@Luijim78 Looks sick dude!

[Oaktavia]

@Luijim78 really is a great fit buddy. I dig it with the OD.

[Luijim78]

@Mister_Brue thank you my friend

[Luijim78]

@Oaktavia Thank you dear friend ,they are a couple of 777 21MB that I found a short time ago (it is so difficult to capture the nuances of this fabric)

[derek111]

Neat stuff happening.

[Mister_Brue]

@derek111 That just looks so nice dude. Glad it’s getting colder here, that’s for sure. Mine is just begging to be worn more often. ️

[derek111]

@Mister_Brue I have definitely been forcing myself to wear it, even when the weather doesn't make sense. Try to get a few hours at least every morning at work before it gets too hot. Watching @Oaktavia do his thing just makes me wanna wear it more and more.

[Oaktavia]

I always have this jacket on, nonstop. Day 42 no washes so far.

[Mister_Brue]

And there he is!

[Oaktavia]

Ha I just so happened to take photos after work this afternoon.

[Mister_Brue]

Clocked these on IG earlier too. Looking awesome bud.

[Oaktavia]

@Mister_Brue thanks buddy

@Oaktavia you’re killing it. Weather is just starting to get under a 100 where I live. Can’t wait start wearing on regular basis. I originally bought XL. Been following your posts and decided to get the XXL. XXL fits better, but sleeves are kind of long. Not unwearable long. Do all the combs shorten the sleeves? Any way looking great! Way to go man!

[Oaktavia]

@TinMan thanks man, it is cooling down here now too. This morning it's down to the 50s here so that's nice. Stoked to see your progress down the road.

@Oaktavia is it softening up? curious as to how these age in that regard as mine is so stiff

I have found that it does not really soften up in terms of hand feel. It is still a bit rough and tough but it does break in super nicely. Mine is molded entirely to my torso and arms.

Different types of lighting affect the way the fades appear. Here are some indoor shots with diffused sunlight and fluorescent overheads.

50 wears with one machine wash. Soaking it for 30 minutes prior this time seemed to work against marbling thanks to @Jcaz6996's idea. Although this is just the first wash, more may change that. I'm not bothered either way, just want to see if a longer soak works with my machine too.
