Shaul is your guy. Great service! I bought the returnable jacket first and made my adjustments accordingly. Great turn-around times even for APO overseas! I went with Flightjacket.com because they offered the jacket with a one piece back.
Yeahhhhhhhh... that's what I'm talkin about. Sweet ride there amigo! I'd kill for something like that over here. A little American heavy metal on Frenchy's back roads stalking the rice-burners. LOL!
You wear it well.
Still waiting for France to cool down enough to FINALLY wear my HH G8. Every time I open the closet, there it is... oh-ho... there it is! I put it on in front of the mirror for a few minutes from time to time until I start to sweat. Then back into the closet it goes.
I have to totally agree with that. I wore Levis and a polo the other day to work... that was a huge mistake. Went back to thin suit pants and a dress shirt with rolled sleeves the next day. I hate that feeling like there's little balls of denim forming on my thighs when jeans start overheating...
Insane. My Mother sent me an email saying it was 121F out in the Mohave Desert. She said that she, "had a feeling it was pretty hot" because her thermometer on the porch tops out at 120F, and it was pegged! Can't believe I used to live out there and rode dirt bikes in that kind of weather with...
Hot, humid hell in Paris today. Almost heat stroked in an an all steel train with no A/C. Apparently French Engineers don't believe in expansion joints in the rails so a 20min train ride turned into over an hour because the rails were buckling.
Needless to say, I wasn't wearing a jacket today...

My favorite commercial right now. Don't know if you have it State-side or not, sorry you'll have to suffer through a short pre-commercial:
I'm going to come visit you wearing mine. Ferry Captain??
My Frenchy-type GF wants to see NYC with a passion. I'll bring French wine, of course. :) But no sailing after... (oh, look! I'm a regular! )
@thor,
That's why we're all here! It ain't about me, it's about the love of the leather or whatever. Hijack away mon ami, it's for the greater good. All the information on the subject is good for all. Me? I'm waiting to see what Nick does! :) @you Nick! He-he...
Sorry, I didn't answer this before...
The zipper is very heavy-duty brass, more so than my G-1s. I've looked for markings but don't see any. And I do like it.
Nick. If you're So.Cal. You'll probably want the goat. Being a born and raised San Diegan I can attest that the HH is a bit heavy for the region. If you're No.Cal or Mojave desert, go for the HH. And me, I prefer this G-8 over my A-2s.
