I cooked a leather jacket
This jacket looks great man! Really interesting to see how it turned out. IMO looks much better after the soak. If I can get my wits about me, I might do this with the Schott 1928 75th Anniversary jacket I just traded my old 613 for. It's not yet arrived but at a size 46 it's definitely...- AmericanIron

618HH Review w/ Fit Pics
Hey guys, quick update after a month of wear on the 618HH, which is about 600 miles on the bike with how the weather has been. Many light drizzles, no thorough soaks as of yet though. She's definitely breaking in beautifully. Images in scrollable sizes follow below, but you can view them in...- AmericanIron

How much room in the chest?
It sounds like I may be the minority here but I have a 43 inch chest and my 618HH has a p2p measurement of 23 which feels perfect. I find that excess room in the chest/waist allows for layering but also for air to scoop either under or over and reduce the effectiveness of said layering. Just my...- AmericanIron

Monitor's Aero FQHH Cafe Racer
Jacket itself looks amazing! Love the mods and the simplicity of it plus that angled collar snap is just fantastic. Unfortunately the fit pics have an error so I can't see how the jacket actually fits you, but just based on the initial pics it's outstanding. Love the character of the leather...- AmericanIron

618HH Review w/ Fit Pics
Jacket continues to break in well, as I've worn it every day since it arrived and even slept in it a few times. New battery for the bike will be in on Thursday, and I'll be out riding in it for the first time on Friday. I'll update maybe monthly to show the jacket's progress and hopefully...- AmericanIron

618HH Review w/ Fit Pics
Have owned that jacket as well, can confirm. In fact, if they still had it in a size 40 I probably wouldn't own this 618HH right now. Size 42-46 are left. If you can fit that, buy it. Amazing jacket.- AmericanIron

618HH Review w/ Fit Pics
Hey man, thought I'd toss up a few pics of how it attaches because I remember when I considering buying one I searched high and low for some front and back pictures of how the snaps line up but couldn't find any. If you're curious, these should help. Side note: The collar is ONLY made in...- AmericanIron

618HH Review w/ Fit Pics
My fault. I bought the black stallion from legendary and ended up sellin it on eBay but once you spend 500 or more with them you become part of the "500 club" which gets you 10% off for life. I was able to combine that with the schott15 code but I couldn't use the retro code cause they said I...- AmericanIron

618HH Review w/ Fit Pics
118 is a beautiful jacket as well and coincidentally was the first riding jacket I ever bought! I actually bought this collar for that jacket and it was a great combo. Got the collar during last years 15% off schott sale so it was like 60-70 I think. Get it 25% off at legendary right now if...- AmericanIron

618HH Review w/ Fit Pics
If you're the same size you need to buy this jacket. It's beautiful and given the price on sale at legendary (25%off with codes SCHOTT15 and RETRO) you should buy it now if you're looking. Waist can be slimmed down by a tailor should you feel the need but it's really not bad.- AmericanIron

618HH Review w/ Fit Pics
Of course man. I'm 5'10" and weigh 185. My chest is 43" and my waist is 36". I purchased a size 42. The true chest on the jacket is is 45.5 approximately. It depends on how much the gussets stretch but that's the closest measurement I can give, personally any more than that and I feel like I'm...- AmericanIron

Hey all, After many purchased and returned jackets I believe I've found the one that will take me into riding season this year. The 618HH arrived today and it's beautiful. The horsehide is amazing, check out the shot below of the arm which shows the creasing after a few minutes of wear, just...- AmericanIron

Buying a leather jacket
I agree with HD and Edward, motorcycle are inherently dangerous and with so many cars on the road and so much technology to distract drivers, motorcycles are made even more dangerous just given the environment they're ridden in. I live in Boston, MA and there's always people merging and running...- AmericanIron

New Legendary USA Exclusive Jacket
I'm actually surprised to hear that, I've heard (and seen) some great things regarding the horsehide that Schott uses. It's definitely shiny at first but will not remain so if worn through the elements. Many sell their jackets when they receive them and realize how stiff it is, would be akin to...- AmericanIron

New Legendary USA Exclusive Jacket
Hey guys, Figured I'd share this here in case anybody was interested. Looks like Legendary USA is now taking preorders for Apr-May release on a Horsehide version of their 613 One Star jacket. They're also running a 15% off sale on Schott right now so it would be only $620. Not bad for a...- AmericanIron
