Breaking in this beast! Did my proprietary break in process. Working with damon at JL to figure out what horween black leather to use for its identical twin. overdye, tumbled overdye, or Milan which is veg tan and a little softer and lighter at 3 oz vs cxl at 3.5 oz. Any suggestions? Leaning toward milan. These two will be the only leather ponies in the stable at the moment. I am thinking a little lighter and softer should be great for riding in the spring. Make up should be end of jan / early feb. anyone have the milan? I think SB uses it

The tumbled overdye sounds cool! I’m somewhat surprised they offer it as the overdye sort of self tumbles very quickly with wear. The grain on this guy is starting to go bonkers with just a few days of wear. I also think of it as brown though, not black.

That looks awesome man! The tumbled i am thinking they did some tumbling of their regular overdye i dont think it came that way from horween but not 100 percent sure. They just finished a half belt in that tumbled overdye. Probably someone on fdl. Damon was going to send me some pics of it

I really fell in love with the regular overdye during my last visit to JL. The black was very matte and the warmth of the brown shined through beautifully. The whole jacket looked burnished. When I get all of my ducks in a row that will be the leather I select for my next jacket.

Wowzers! Heck of a statement, bravo

Its the truth my man. Perfect for on the bike, with that MC vibe I dig. But somehow still formal enough (with all the cool Trojan design features) to be worn in more formal settings. I’ve worn it with slacks and a dress shirt to dinners, parties, etc. Maybe I’m crazy but it works for me.

PS, how was the vacation with the wife? Is she happy happy? And you kept the CHP right?!? Lol.
