Took the rider to my cobbler, was going to get the snap fixed and a clean/condition. He didn’t have a match for the snap but he was saying the jacket is really good leather so that’s nice lol
How often do you clean and condition your leather? And what do you keep it stored in when you aren’t rocking it.

I recently moved so I haven’t had it stored properly but it’s as simple as a regular garment bag and wooden hanger I’d say.
As far as how often, I’d say every 3 months of wear I’d condition it. This is the second time I’m doing it since like 2016 but I haven’t worn it that much. Probably going to wear it more often this year.

Anyone have a pair of Nimbus and Sorrento jeans that could show a comparison? Debating picking up a pair of Nimbus, but feel like the wash is similar, with maybe Sorrento being darker?

Wash on the nimbus is more visible and the denim is a lighter indigo. Sorrento is a much darker indigo (closer to raw indigo colour), but with a slightly less visible wash and some really minor distressing. Nimbus is a medium wash and sorrento is a dark indigo wash to simply it. The forum ranks nimbus as one of the best washes, but it really depends on whether you want lighter or darker blue denim. Sorrento was the first item I bought from JE so it has a special place in my closet

Picked up a pair of the Daze Indigo off the bay and damn that joint is heavyweight and stiff like a mf'er. Went TTS and they fit exactly like my other Daze's - just takes a minute to get on due to the stiffness. Haven't rocked raw denim since superfuture days so still getting used to it.

Yeah I liked the fit on the Daze raws but I just couldn’t do the break in period anymore so I flipped them.

Hoping for a restock of these at some point
