I usually like fabrics that have been distressed (eg washed canvas, or hammered leather), but not clothes that have been distressed post-production to make them look old.ENDYMA / Archival fashion & Consignment

I'm sorry that blistered lamb texture is so rough to your sensibilities. But please don't cry, it might stain your vachetta.

i don't like my leather looking too smooth or too clean, on the contrary -- if there's no treatment of any kind, then it usually looks cheap, or unnatural to me, like plastic
I think the coolest leather I ever saw was a different Schott perfecto that had apparently been boiled. It was stiff like cuir bolli and had shrank from a US 42 to approximately a US 36. Should have bought it, even if it was too big. I wonder if they still have it.

yea, i know vanson or schott leathers are good, quality wise. i guess i understand what galia is saying about being lazy, because in order to get those to look good, they've gotta be worn to absolute shit and i just don't have the patience for that to be honest
i don't see anything wrong with treated leather, i prefer it because i don't personally live in my jackets, and so they'd look too 'new' for like, years

you can cheat with breaking in leather same as denim: wear it in the shower, wear it while it dries until you can't stand it any longer. bam! big, sexy creases everywhere.
I once saw employees at a retail store doing something like this with a spray bottle to get the mannequins realistically creased clothing.
