Now that I have a few minutes to do so more properly, I just wanted to address a few things:

Seems lambs tiny pores prefer it. Never being one to turn down his sage advice, I purchased some today and applied it to my jacket. MAN! It really relaxed the leather and made some of the grain pop right out. Any of my panels that had a little bit of stiffness to them are limp as as wet noodle right now. Talk about Raiders drape!!!! I highly recommend it!
Well, it's no secret that you couldn't have gotten advice from a more informed source, so I'm not surprised to hear (read) that the results were great... Travis, any chance you could post maybe just one little Link to a shot of that "post-Lexol" leather?

RB, I have NO doubt, BendingOak would be more than happy to help you out with that yearning!
G-MANN, as I've said before:
to the way your jacket looks and the way you wear it with such timeless style & attitude.

THAT picture, if anyone knows what I'm talking about, shows a rather large pocket as well, and it's not from a strange angle. If I can find that pic. (doubt it), I'll post it.

YOU might not have that photo... and
I might not have that photo... but surely someone here does...
I'D sure be curious to see it, if someone here can manage it.
Thanks for reading this, fellas...
I felt bad I was so short on time in my previous posts... just wanted to add to what I'd said before.
Cheers!
