Hello again everyone! It has been a while since I have logged on... Work is turning into a curse... 
But anyway, I recently purchased a jacket from a local Goodwill store for a booming $4. It is a Global Identity A-2 civilian jacket (similar to that of Magnoli's civilian A-2), it has the two front cargo pockets (I guess you would call them), hand pockets beneath those, one interior chest pocket, and a very nice map (silk) liner. The jacket seems to be from the early 80's so it is a bit worn. My girlfriend jokes that a homeless man probably kicked the bucket while wearing it due to its original stench when I recieved it. I have cleaned it numerous times. It smells like roses now. TRUST ME. 
haha Though the outside is a bit rough looking, I figured I would leave it worn but freshen the look a bit. I went to my local leather shop and asked my friend what I should do to not only clean the pores, but give it a fresh sheen to it like we see on the internet or on our fellow Lounge Members after they purchase a new jacket. He didnt have any Pecards or the usual products I see everyone use and I didnt feel like ordering off of the internet because I think its a hassle, so, he gave me Kali Leather Life. A "Protien Lotion" as the bottle states, a "Cleaner/Condition for Fine Leathers." I figured I would give it a go to show you guys the outcome.
It was great to post again here in the lounge, I feel a bit more at home.
So gentlemen, I will get back with you on the outcome and I wish all of you a great week, year, life, whatever. Hats on, guns ready, I'm out.
See ya!
<pictures shall come soon enough...>
