Stone-Washed In Los Angeles or Raw (Un-Washed)
We do have some jackets built but not washed, and a limited amount that were stone-washed last week and ready to ship. If you choose the Stone-Washed version, the "break-in period" is accelerated a bit, so expect the leather to be darker on the edges, softer overall and more "Matte" than shiny on the surface. If you prefer to break-in the jacket on your own and don't mind a stiffer feel for a bit, you can opt for the RAW or UN-WASHED version. These are in-stock where noted on the product page.
