    Hanger for leather jacket

    Thank you, my friend. I really love the perfecto. I will always have a 618/118/613 in my small collection. I think they make great riding jackets.

    AWESOME!!!! Why would you EVER need another jacket? Your jacket keeps looking better and better. Keep posting pics. My 2018? 618HH had the flag in it. I lost some weight and got the next size down, maybe 2019? and it had the tag you have. Both leathers looked the same in my eyes. edit...

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

    I am looking forward to your thoughts on this jacket. I have to agree with DannyK on perfectos. I will always own one.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Can't wait to see it. Hope you can find one. New Harleys are scarce in my area. Thanks Panda. I am also baffled with this absurd squeaking going on. My 618 was rather noisy when I first got it. I had it on the other day, and it was almost silent. I did have that one soaked in a down pour. I am...

    Thanks J. I have it narrowed down to 3 possible ways to stop the squeaking: Water, powder, conditioner. I am thinking in maybe that order. I am hoping sensei Panda chimes in, he specializes in JL and CXL. lol. I have yet to take the maiden voyage with my new jacket. I have only sat on my bike...

    JL is a pleasure to work with. I think they make a great motorcycle jacket for actual M/C use. They are under rated when it comes to function and use.

    Thanks doubleH. It's probably a little too light for you. lol. I thought your big dogs were horse, I didn't know they were cow. My CXLHH is softening up a little, but it still has a lot to go.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    This is the noise offender. I have about 150+ hours of mostly indoor wear on it. I have shoveled snow in it a few times. I have not had it on the bike yet, or exposed to water. It is taking a long time to break in. How about your heavy hides? are the loud? have they quieted any? My JL is crazy...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Thanks AeroFan. I haven't done anything but wear this jacket so far. It has not been wet yet. I want to say water has quieted some of my jackets in the past, but I can't remember. I really hate to commit the cardinal sin on this forum, and add a conditioner to a brand new jacket, but this jacket...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Your jacket looks great. I like a jacket with a little wiggle room. I think it makes the jacket easier to wear. Thanks for the squeaky jacket tip. I am having that problem now with a heavy CXL horsehide. I have about 150 hours of wear on it right now. It is STUPID loud. I think it might be...

    All your time and dedication to your IR is really paying off. It is really starting to break in nicely. I really love the way the CXL is starting to look. Please keep wearing this and posting pics. Looks like it fits perfectly now.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I feel your pain. I think the Browns have had the most coaches, GMs, and QBs than any other team since '99 when we came back. I can't understand why we keep doing this. It's been DECADES of losing. At least the Bears could beat up on the Lions. We don't even have the Bungels to keep us company...

    LOL. Springtime in the rust belt. Downtown Cleveland could be 40 degrees with a lake breeze, while a few miles south could be T-shirt weather.

    LOL. Winter weather advisory tonight, with sleet and freezing rain possible. Tomorow, high of 70 degrees. Go figure.

    On my way down the slippery Aero slope!

    I was going to say what Navetsea said. I have been looking into this recently. I really don't think it is a matter of horse vs. steer, I think it is more, thick vs. thin, when it comes to creases vs. rolls, in the arms. I am in the process of breaking in 2 different jackets. My thinner (3oz)...

    Vintage Outerwear: Threads of the Past

    Thanks for the great videos. You definitely get a better feel for the jacket in a video as opposed to still pics.

    Vid of shearling jacket being made

    Thanks for the video OneHead. Edit: I always skip over the shearling threads, now I am starting to skim them over and look at the pics. lol.

    Thanks for your insight, J. I was just curious with the older jackets. Good to know.

    Vintage Outerwear: Threads of the Past

    A question for vintage leather guys, Would you say, all/most/some/none of your vintage leather jackets creak/squeak? I am curious if creaky leather jackets get louder/quieter with age. thanks.
