Haha, didn't mean it like that!

I do think I have a bit shorter leg ratio than usual. Believe usual inseam that I've seen around my height is around 30-32" when I have pants that go all the way from 25" (stops just at ankle) to 28" inseam (ones I'm wearing in the photo). I get a bit self concious about how clothing affects my proportions.

Thanks for the feedback so far, everyone!

5'10" with 29" leg (I have a long trunk (apparently), a hollow back and I'm a low down bum))......short legs...rock it and roll with it...

This morning I still thought to myself, the jacket might be too warm after all. But no, perfect.
Actually I had hoped that these days my new D-1 comes. But unfortunately no progress in the status.

Spent the last few weeks searching high and low for a new “proper” riding jacket. I’m usually not the type to brand match a jacket to the bike I’m riding, but I landed on this Braddan Air Race jacket from Triumph. I’m pretty impressed with it. Full suite of D30 armor in elbows, shoulder, and spine. Antique brass Talon zips all around. Perf leather moves some air. The jacket keeps a nice slim profile with the armor, and I don’t feel like a moto gp racer or a football player like some of my previous bike jackets.
I know what you mean about brand matching, but that Triumph lettering looks nice on the front, as do the stripes on the sleeve. Nice mix of classic looks and modern protection.

This crusty durable just arrived. It’s going to take some work but it’s a fit! Some of the thickest HH I’ve seen on any vintage jacket. Loads of great detail, all Bakelite buttons are there, interesting mix of fabrics throughout and an original two way talon I’ve never seen befor. Needs a serious sleeve repair but this thing might end up being my crown jewel. I’ve started with the Obernaufs. Fit pic straight out of the box it was crammed into.

Haven’t oiled the back yet. But you can see it’s thirsty.
