Sleeves will ride up with a bit of wear and creasing. Should be fine.

good input........maybe owner can pix after a few months of honest hard wear!

I've owned a goatskin jacket for well over twenty years now, and after all that time and hard wear, the sleeves have not creased. At least not in an accordion type of way that would shorten the sleeve length. It has however seemed to shrink a bit around the belly area.

what make? i've an original spiewark and unfortunately don't seem to have all this ageing prob...

Ha! YOUR version of that jacket is what made ME decide to try and make my own A-2....

Now I can give my wife more of the history behind why there is an industrial sewing machine in our back bedroom. :roll:
