Didn't all your leathers get moldy in the basement? Were you able to recover?

I traded a NWOT Real McCoys jacket that fit me awkwardly with a guy in Thailand I had never met. He sent me his Himel Wolverine, and now I have what's likely best jacket I ever owned.

I'm pretty happy about it.

Looks OK but...shave a mm or two off the left sleeve and you may be onto something.

Not gonna happen. If anything the sleeves could be longer. Anyhow I’m real happy as they are.

Some new-jacket neurosis: it appears the collar snaps on my J-24L don't line up, which causes the collar to bow slightly when they are snapped.

In order to handle the excess material the collar rides up in the back when snapped.

@StrangeJeremy is this a feature and not a bug? Is there something about break-in that will change this? Were Buco not supposed to worn with collar fully folded over? From y'alls stock photos I'm thinking some part of yes is the answer:

I'll note that when you have the mouton collar attached it doesn't fold completely.
