@T4920 is it really!? Shit I dum

I do live this chore tho. Gonna just keep wrecking

Hmmmm, do i have space for another pair in the rotation???

@Daniel-San lookin good. Again, all my comments are nitpicking, obviously nothing is going to be perfect. I'm probably exaggerating the leather inconsistencies. Yours looks exactly like mine with the texture variations and stiff lapel area. Is your stitching also getting fuzzy? Not fraying or anything yet, but its gotten really fuzzy. Anyway, just comparing notes.

Groundhog Day is such a ridiculous superstition. I love the movie with Bill Murray, but probably thanks to it, I can't stand the tradition. It's absolutely preposterous.

@Hamza-Yunus HAHAHA, i love this photo. Daydreaming about going to space! Welcome btw!

@Matt I said the exact thing about it yesterday. I'm DONE with it. Ready for spring already. Fuck you Punxsutawney Phil.

@Daniel-San Yeah, i've been wearing this thing on average about 5 hours per day, i'd say, for a full month now, and it is squeaky as hell. It doesn't bother me that much, but it's received noise complaints haha

As much as I love this thing, that isn't my only issue. If I were to nitpick:
1: The leather thickness DOES vary a lot. And some of the thickest bits are a bit awkward. For example, the front panel of the right arm is noticeably thinner than the left, but all other panel thicknesses are symmetrically consistent. I wish the upper pockets were as thin as the lower ones, because they're much thicker. Also the inside leather lining at the lapel area is SUPER thick, like 2x, that should be some of the thinnest imo.
2: The sleeves are about .75" shorter than advertised. I think they're good length for comfort, and would probably be bad if they were actually 26" because the cuff would dig into my wrist, and i can tell they're long enough because i have creasing over the cuff, but that's a big inconsistency. If they didn't cover my wrist bone, I would have sent it back tho for being so far off chart.

Having said all that, I'm glad its not perfect. If it were, I'd be more worried about messing it up. As it stands, I'm being pretty rough with it actually. It's breaking in nicely, i like the creases, and the way it 'drapes' now, although this leather is absolutely NOT soft lol. The only other horsehide i've handled is the Mad Red, and that was much more drapey. I love this thing though, and I still dont want to take it off.

Lets see some more pics of yours, Dan!

@Oaktavia looking super goot for such little time, those are in a sweet spot already. Still look krispy as fuuuuk

@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.

i was also surprised to see this in the outlet. Def one of the best looking jackets ever.

Quick snap of my diy tether with sbgeez. Holding up nicely and taking on a lot of color.

@Tago-Mago It's thanks to Dirty Harry.

@tody AH, that went over my head completely. Yeah i dont watch 'the news', i could do a whole rant about that on its own..... but i'll save it because it would probably be more appropriate for the "unpopular opinions" thread. Sorry, i was unaware of any political developments in Germany, so my comments stand alone and don't reference that.

@goosehd sorry, just saw you had said something too. I hope my above-stated ignorance of the specific situation allows me some grace lol

@tody forgive the pun, but i feel like this is a 'loaded' question.
I can't help but assume you're referring to a situation in which someone 'eliminates a threat', yet reloads and continues to fire into said threat long after it has expired. That is a heavily situationally-dependent and subjective scenario and would likely come down to the discretion of a jury.
Having said that, it seems that if one were to reload AFTER the threat has expired, then one would most likely be considered to have exceeded a reasonable measure of deadly force. Of course this is also subjective and would depend on the initiating threat level of the one being defended against, which would have to be assumed to also have presented a deadly threat. Of course at that point you could bring up the question: "How dead is too dead?"

Sorry for the brain dump, feel free to tell me to shut it.

each is awesome, but OG 21oz is my fave. It just does everything. Also great in SBG when you need to hide the grease stains.

@Kasi looks sick man. i wish mine had fit like that in the chest.

@tody depends on how many times you miss....

@weftyarn good golly man those look gnarly. What's the wash routine look like?

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