Hi guys,
Thank y’all’s concerns and replies.
So, the two 1401Ps are all second-hand. I bought them in Japan and brought them back to Taiwan. Indeed, Taiwan is a super humid place. Taipei, in particular.
I’m not sure whether it’s because of the frequency I put them on. Normally, if it’s not raining, I’d wear them almost every day and apply mink oil as a conditioner for both of them every two to three months.
I’ve checked the pocket and the collar, they are slightly scratched but without any major cracks.
Regarding other A2s’ condition, my Buzz Rickson’s 23380 looks brand new, while my 27752, which is also manufactured by McCoy, shows no crack as well.
Unfortunately, I’m not sure what the original owners had applied on the one that suffers even more severely, but quite curious why this only happens on the McCoy’s 1401P so easily as the other one that looks relatively fine started to crack as well
Anyhow. Looking forward to hearing from y’all soon.
