I've read your blog and enjoyed it. Thanks for it. Probably because of your blog, I bought a vintage Brimaco cafe racer that I'm very happy with. Thanks for that too.

My jacket is the same color and type of leather but a different style...I'm wondering if it even needs to be conditioned? Doesn't all leather need to be conditioned to keep from drying out?

I've known of your blog for a while now (learned of it from here), but I never knew of your company till after I read a few posts (also here about the Herrons). I only clued in later that the blog connects to the company site. Herrons are very nice and nicely priced.
