    Yeah, it's a really soft pull-up. I think it may be one of my favorite leathers I've ever seen.

    I'm glad the microfibre storage bag kept if from getting scuffed in the post.

    As I said on the care sheet, if it gets a scuff that won't pull up with just a rub of the hand, try a very light buffing with Zymol conditioning creme.

    Oh, man! That's going to look wonderful! I'm currently in the planning stages (ie, dreaming) about a Newsome box pleat in the Longford County, Ire. tartan (which I also think would looks smashing with this leather).
