: : Is the pre-distressed version simply painted on, or is it really worn? I was just wondering if they used some sort of process to rapidly age it or if it's just paint. if so, does the paint look and feel realisitic?

: The distressed look is not painted on. They put the jacket in a special dryer with some fine rocks. This gives the jacket the distressed look. As I said before, the jacket looks great. However, if you are going to order one, ask them to make the side pocket openings a little wider. I have a hard time getting my hands in the pockets and it is almost impossible to get them out. Don't get me wrong, I love the jacket. If I had enough money I would order another one just like it.

It wouldn't be good to put your hands in the handwarmer slits.
They are not really designed for that. They are made to slip the
adjusting straps into. If you put your hands inside and have a
difficult time getting them out- be warned that you may be
starting to make the pocket edges come unstitched. Mine did that.
Peter says if I send it back, he will fix it for free, but I
don't have the $30 plus for mailing it back to the United Kingdom.
He said that there are repair shops here that can do the job.
I'm looking into it.
