Wow, your jacket looks older after a few weeks than mine looks after almost a year. I guess the goat really is a lot tougher than the lamb. The jacket is looking really nice Ray!

Thanks, Jack! I think its more the fact that I subjected the jacket to alot. Besides, being in High School is the best way to distress your jacket- hands down, period.

Thanks for the pictures they really document the grain and texture qualities of a new lambskin jacket. I wish others would post these kind of close up pictures of different skins..

Thanks for all the compliments, guys! I just wanted to get it to look older, but not use acetone or heavy sandpapering to get that broken in feel. The rain REALLY helps.
