Would love to see it in the flesh, as you can't really capture the "essence"(in lack of better words )of a leather jacket in a photo
also, the smell of some quality leather really adds to the whole experience, and that are super hard to get via a photo(some would say impossible even) xD Cheers!
I agree completely. It is difficult to capture the essence, especially without the beautiful smell. Although I’ve noticed some people on this forum are significantly better at it than I am. With all our fancy technology these days, you’d think we could do something equivalent to the old scratch and sniff with our photos! Lol.Would love to see it in the flesh, as you can't really capture the "essence"(in lack of better words )of a leather jacket in a photo
Cheers!

Post photos as often as possible. You share not only your jacket, but also your good mood.
Thank you for your extremely kind words. I was truly touched by what you. Cheers!

Glommed this Gibson and Barnes Mark 43 A2 last year from Ebay right on the cusp of Spring, so had to wait 6 months to wear it. Temps have dropped here, so out it comes. Beautiful thick cowhide leather, it's a knockout jacket!
I agree. A trucker needs to be short and slim, but too tight is too tight. I always thought, I’d be a 42 in this, but this makes me reconsider.

How is the mobility when zipped?
It’s pretty good but not as good as my Lewis Leathers Dominator or Vanson Ike (neither of which have an action back.). It’s not uncomfortable, but would probably be better with an action back. I’m guessing this would differ per individual depending on the overall fit of the jacket.

That jacket looks amazing! (And it looks super on you.) You've probably already said, but what jacket is it?
Thanks for your kind words! It’s a Double Helix Works Hugging the Curve in seal brown.
Speaking of amazing jackets. That’s your first leather jacket? Looks like you hit a home run! It looks fantastic on you. Is it an Aero Highwayman?

Thank you! I haven't encountered Double Helix Works: I'll explore soon. It looks like it is a Japanese brand--and amazing! The seal brown for your jacket is excellent!

Thank you! That's confidence-boosting. It's a new world for me. This forum led me to Rugged West Co., which was recommended as a good place for a newcomer to start. Leilah, the proprietor, guided me to a good (non-custom) fit. Very happy so far (and I can see how an addiction can start).
That’s great! You got a really nice fitting jacket. Well done indeed.
