My new (to me) Eastman B-3

Following my wanted thread, here is my Eastman Leather B-3, Seal and Seal horsehide trim, size 46. I believe this to be the older horsehide before they started using warhorse.

Going to have to wait 6 months to wear it though...

Thanks. It seems hardly worn, there are some rub marks on the horsehide trim at the elbows.
The shearling feels kind of dry-ish. Would anyone advise conditioning or is that a no-no?

Thanks dudes. I was tempted to 'try it on' again yesterday. To be honest, I'll undoubtedly do this....
