    Super heavy pakistani biker jacket

    Amazingly this arrived on my porch TODAY. I just pulled the trigger on it Friday afternoon! Unfortunately, it does not weigh 10 lbs. According to my scale, it is 8.0 lbs. I'm very impressed with this thing nonetheless. So far, the only thing I don't like about it is that the zipper pull...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Wow, 10 lbs. It might just be the reincarnation of my long-lost TRD then. I'll try to contain my joy until I have it in hand. If I don't get tingles, Ton, I'll definitely let you know.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    This looks so much like my lost/stolen TRD jacket that I had to try it. I'm sure I'll be disappointed, but for $75 it's worth a shot.

    Thedi! Thedi! Thedi!

    When I started this thread, it was to discuss the three Thedi jackets that I had purchased, none of which I would consider a design purpose-built for riding. The three that I own are all very nice, and of them the one I call "triangle man" (MTC-12799) is perhaps the closest to a MC jacket...

    Aero's battered hides verse Aero's tumbled hides what is the differences

    From what I have heard, it's the same exact stuff, only put through a mechanical tumbling process which speeds up the break-in process and brings out the grain and texture of the hides a bit more. Un-tumbled CXL will be stiffer, and have a smoother, more regular appearance when new, but over...

    Shinki vs Langlitz Horsehide

    The langlitz upcharge for horsehide is obscene, like +$1800, and I keep hearing that they no longer offer it. Or maybe I'm confusing that with that they no longer offer their heaviest weight leather as an option anymore.

    Thedi! Thedi! Thedi!

    I like that Thedi is always taking things to new places and new directions. But always instant classics. Not everything is something that would work for me, but that's beside the point.

    Who is the expert here on buying jackets from Japan?

    That's why I suggested going in person and trying on. Plus, travel is awesome, and everyone should experience Japan. I haven't yet, but I would like to.

    Who is the expert here on buying jackets from Japan?

    Fly to a city with a store and try on in person. Buy only if it fits perfectly.

    Do You Wear a Sam Browne / Duty Belt with Your Motorcycle Jacket?

    Short answer, there's no need for a belt at the waist on a motorcycle jacket. Plenty of MC jackets don't have a belt, and work just fine.

    Looking for Italian and Japanese Leather Jackets

    Italian leather jackets don't get talked about a lot here, but in Greece there's Thedi, which gets talked about a lot. As far as Japan, Fine Creek, Freewheelers, Iron Heart, The Flat Head are all well regarded makers around here.

    Zip sleeves - which side?

    Jackets that have gusseted cuffs have a connected piece of leather beneath the zipper, connecting both sides of the sleeve. When the zipper is closed the sleeve is tight at the cuff and keeps wind out. Open, the end of the sleeve is more open and allows air to flow into the sleeve. Some jackets...
