Good point, but....

In Reply to: Except that a lot of folks might like to do the aging themselves -- you can get the look you want better than anyone else - or maybe offer a 'half distressed' or 'hand distressed' jacket, but imagine the price for a half-day of additional labor (nm) posted by Bennett on May 11, 2001 at 17:26:38:

How 'bout the stiffness factor? I doubt ANY fan wants a jacket that they'd have to run through the dryer a dozen times before it doesn't feel like cardboard anymore.

I guess I got off on a distressed leather tangent in my prior post when I mentioned "vintage lambskin". My intent was to ask why Flight Suits doesn't at least take the extra steps to soften up their goatskin so a customer who just spent $400+ can be happy with the coat right outta the box.

I doubt that tumble-drying some hides to set aside for Expeditions wouldn't hike up labor costs that much.
