■ Care
• Take care to keep the leather away from rain and water. If it does get wet, blot the moisture off promptly with a dry cloth and let it dry naturally in a well-ventilated, shaded place.
• Store on a hanger that matches the shoulder width so the garment keeps its shape.
• Wipe dirt away gently with a dry, soft cloth, and condition with a leather cream as needed.
• Store away from direct sunlight, heat, and humidity.
■ About natural leather
• Because this is natural leather, creases, veining, scars, and uneven colour may be visible. These are the character of a natural material, not defects.
• Colour may fade, transfer, or change with age through wear.
• Every piece looks slightly different. Please order with this in mind.

The fit is good. With a thicker long-sleeve underneath, the vest sits just right over it. The horsehide is new so it's a little stiff, but I expect it to improve with wear.

比较合身,贴身穿一件厚一点的秋衣,穿上马甲正好。新马皮,有点硬。估计穿段时间会更好。

Lovely feel, and it works both as a layer underneath and worn over. It follows the body well.
