2 Quick Things

Post by ChrisMD »

First off thanks everyone for the help with care of my hat and jacket. Thanks everyone I PMed as well with all the DFQs. I just applied the first coat of Pecard's Cream to my jacket and it looks great! That stuff is gold. I actually prefer it to Lexol at the moment. Ill post a picture, but it darkened up nicely. Ill touch up my slight distressing of the surface of some seams later tonight after I see Jerry Seinfeld Live. (Cant wait for that). Looking at guys like Mitch, Gorak, Holt, Wilby, and Tundrarider give us new guys a window into how to get the results we seek and ill speak for all of us and say we appreciate it. I hope i didnt forget anyone, there are alot of awesome jackets around here.

Secondly, as i was finishing up the treatment on the jacket my Uncle sent me a picture that he found of me in the Smithsonian in DC. What perfect timing!

This was middle school. ~2002

The hat and jacket are most likely stored in a wooden crate that's surrounded with identical wooden crates. :-

It's mine and thank you for the compliment on thinking it is the real thing. However, it is indeed made by the same hand that made the original for Last crusade! ;)
