How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

Scroll down a bit and you can see this beaut that @Jin431 just got in from JL. Nice thing is they can take it up a bit if it’s too long or whatever else doesn’t work out.

Yes, agree completely. Similar to Greg, JL will make a fit jacket for you and jacket is customizable. My JL jacket is well made, it fits well too but they will fix the length and width issues when I come in again at their shop.

Fields leather will have that shinki though so whichever maker you pick you will get a high quality jacket and better fitting than the recent cross zip you returned.

That looks stunning. Is there any way you could mask or cover the patch without removing it, I wonder? Even taking a blue sharpie to the lettering and symbol might work.

It's a pretty heavy duty patch so it would be really noticeable trying to sharpie it. Guess it just leaves removal as I think I'd just feel odd wearing it as is. Even if its not against the law! Though, the PD on the patch no longer exists. Town renamed itself apparently.

60’s Brooks on it’s way

I just placed my order with Greg Field. Production should start in mid-January, so it will arrive right around my fiftieth birthday. I have dubbed it the MLC-MC Jacket: mid life crisis motorcycle jacket. Brown Shinki and brass stripped-down J24 without the D pocket, belt or epaulettes. Two side adjusters. No action back but a single V yoke. Oh, and an inside pocket on the right side, since I am a Southpaw!

I have this Schott Per 2 on the way in from Johnson Leathers. The jacket is super thick steerhide and very comfortable in an XL which will allow for layered riding. The sleeves were unfortunately way too long at 27.5" and I normally go for 25" so even though it was not a problem on the bike they still looked "wadded up" even when riding. I contacted Damon who was extremely helpful making sure to taper the sleeves down so the bottom of the sleeve was similar to the opening at 27.5". He also replaced the piece of Tin buckle with a solid brass buckle. Now I realize Schott is not anywhere close to LW or Aero but I think this is going to work out well because the jacket doesn't ride up and is not so tight around the waist so comfort leads to a better riding experience; at least for me it does.

Damon made the first 2 shots here before shipping it out today. Personally I think JL did a damn good job of shortening these sleeves and the buckle looks a lot better than the original Schott buckle.

Here's a shot on the bike and not a good photo but one can get a good idea of how the sleeves bunched up.

Another Schott. Nothing fancy, non perfecto label but still has the 70's talon zip. It was a good price and my size. Also never had a semi belted bike jacket so I figured Id give it a go.

 

[Jin431]

@JustinW Yes! Mine will be similar to yours but in black. Good luck to us.

Holy smokes! I had one made in a few weeks last year. Did they say why so long?

they quote covid, i believe them, but at the same time they say "there are six or seven jackets ahead of you", i don't know if it's six or seven of any model or six seven of the 1947, while 100 other models lol

I was real close. Started a thread about it couple weeks ago. Glad I didn't though. THink it would be too short and the cut on it is extremely tapered. Goes from 23.5 ptp to 18 bottom hem. I kind of got a Vshape going, but if it wasn't even going to hit my belt, I think I would have looked like a matador. I may order a Ridley with Indian Ranger inspired layout at some point, but I got pretty lucky on ebay past couple weeks.

Picked up a Branded Garment CHP which has an Indian Ranger sort of vibe with the black cross zip, brass hardware, very tapered with the side ties. And couple hours ago, I think I did good on this San Jose Just Leathers jacket. Seems to be in great shape, has the zip out liner and all that.

LOL. Thought it was a Fine Creek, "mismatched" panels and all. Couldn´t figure out why you of all people should deviate from your usual effortlessly great style, but then I found the reference to the jacket.

Fingers x-ssed that you will be most happy after the detor with Simmons Bilt. greg should be a safe bet. In the end, all will be good.
