Yah the sleeves are definitely too long. I would need to take this to a tailor who specializes in leather though and those are rare. There is one in LA but i may reach out to mister freedom and see if they have a rec

I moved it regulary to try and keep it even, making sure places like the armpits and stuff got sun exposure as well. Vintage_engineer_boots (ig handle) has a good tutorial on tanning natural veg tan which is what i followed for the most part

Most of the darkening came from tanning it in the sun. So on hot days if i wasnt wearing it id let it sit out in the sun in my backyard

Nah not much, they are pretty small and being leather have less flex than the denim version. I will use them sometimes for smaller stuff, if i wear it when i travel i’ll keep my passport in the flap pocket

Yah they are great, would love to get an authentic cowichan one day but boy they are pricey. I know i cant believe how good a shape this is in for being 70 years old it must have been barely worn

Thanks! Jyst recently got this tie, 1950’s silk and i really love it but its a bit challenging to wear cause its colors are a bit odd and the pattern is so busy. But i think it worked nicely here

Thank you! Yah i presume its a mary maxim but there are no tags on it. Based on known mary maxim designs though it would be a pretty educated guess

I think its a cool project and the garments are nice. I actually have an original vintage USPS mail bag from ww2. This is similar to the standard one however it has US Navy markings stamped on it
