How does the coat feel while wearing it?
I assume you cant have much movement, when you move around.
Its very heavy when wearing it. It weighs about 4 times what a Wested
Lambskin jacket does.
Other than that, for the most part, its comfortable while wearing. I
guess its because the sleeves are made so they are not straight down,
but slightly bent forward, like your arm is normally.
The thing that does happen, and will happen until it starts to break in,
is when I lift my arms, the shoulders will lift some also, and then the
collar will lift some too. This makes the collar move up my neck, and
it will come in contact with my chin!
You can see that where the jacket is starting to break in around the
bottom, and the sleeves, are the only places that have any flex to them.
But eventually, the rest of the jacket will be just as flexable, and
hopefully, not as stiff!!
I got the idea to take these pictures because when I took the jacket off
when I got home thursday night, I just threw it on the bed, and it kind of
stood up on its own. I thought it was kind of funny, so I picked it up,
and thought I would see if it was stiff enough to stand completely on its own.
You can see the results...
What I plan on doing is trying this again at the end of the winter, to
see how much it softened up.
