    Patterning question

    Buying approach - focused or targets of opportunity

    Hi everyone, hope the weekend is off to a terrific start. Yesterday I shared a conversation with @Canuck Panda and @cbez about an older model RMC HD Double Riders - thank you both again - and then it dawned on me last night that I feel a bit scattered with the overall jacket hunt. And this is...

    Any thoughts on wrinkly horsehide

    Hi everyone, Hope the week's off to a good start. I've found this RMC J100 and the horsehide looks like nothing I've seen before - very wrinkly, and you can tell still stiff in some spots. Does anyone have any experience with hides that have done this? Is this just a wrinkly hide or does it...
