Just got my new TN Temple of Doom jacket. It's made out of "Happy Cow." This is the coolest leather I've ever seen. Now I just gotta figure out how I'm gonna distress it...

Please don't distress it. It looks great - fake ageing does not.

That's a great looking hide. I only recall seeing two other jackets made in that skin and both of them were also TOD.

I'm pretty sure the happy cow distresses on it's quickly. Just wear the cr@p out of it like Tony would have said.

You're lucky man- that was the jacket I really wanted. Perfect leather for that style. Enjoy it and please don't distress it! Just wear it and it will do everything on it's own!
Looks good on you!

I really like the way this jacket looks with your regular street wear. Very cool

It. Looks. AWESOME!
And I would venture that it already has the distressed look

Hi Knibs,
Looks great! Is that an old order that finally got finished or a recent order with Riley?
By the way, just thinking how you've got some serious movie star looks going these days.

Looks pretty good to me already Knibs!
I wouldn't distress it...It looks great now, and as you wear it will only pick up more and more worked in "age", so I think just leave it as is and use the thing as much as you can!
Real great jacket!

Nice jacket! I agree with the above comments on the distressing.
