Recieved my Tailor Brando teacore horsehide

This one is a large unlined, although it does have lining on the sleeves which I'm happy about. I will definitely be ordering a different one soon. It came with a wallet too. I took off the leather strips that came wrapped around the zippers. I had to upload the picture in the comments because it they didn't upload

If anyone here owns a Thursday jacket with full grain cowhide how is your experience with it? I'm considering getting one but was looking to get thoughts on them from people who have/own them.

It had a lot of dark spots and looked somewhat dirty. I bought it off someone online and liked it but the stains were pretty noticeable and the color was a bit more light than I thought it'd be. Now I'm not sure if I made it worse or better but I do like the results more than how it was before. I don't know if trying to darken it more would damage the leather. After the first coat it still feels the same as it did before which I'm happy about. Photos in comments because it didn't upload them

Has anyone tried using certain conditioners to darken it? I've heard of obenaufs being a bad idea as it left someone's jacket greasy and not looking good. So I'm not sure what conditioner I should try using to darken it as much as possible that will also not mess up the fibers in the leather

▲ 2 r/schott

I'm looking at a few used 654vn Schotts and a p571. I was looking for more measurements on them eg p2p, shoulder to shoulder, waist size. Is there anywhere I can found out or does it just vary that much. The only info on their site is the jacket length. I was looking at Medium and Large. I'm 5'8 and 136lbs down from 160 due to a surgery a while back. If possible I'd also like to know which people would prefer and why. I've heard the 654 might be more durable but I don't know how true that is
