    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Thanks man! I wasn’t 100% sure about the leather when I bought it, but was waaaay to nervous to spend $600-$800 on Badalassi or Shinki to do the first jacket with, but man oh man, this hide is really great for a jacket. Really nice drape already and by the time I turned the jacket several times...

    I got a size 40 off the rack as well, and it fit quite nicely, but I was wearing my Premier Highwayman more at the time and I went through a phase where I sold off a few jackets and guitars to justify buying another bike.. the one I regretted selling was the Dom! I sold the new bike later that...

    Thanks Tony! I loved that old jacket, but it was giving up the ghost in the seams. Now she can live on.. if I make some more of these up, I’ll call that model the “Ton Up” as an homage, haha.

    Ha, I’m far from a luthier! More like an idiot savant with my hands. Thanks!

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Well… over the summer this year I made a couple of custom leather seat covers for mine and my dad’s motorcycles because I was too cheap to pay someone a crazy price to do it. I saddle stitched those by hand, and it was brutal as far as time and effort. I really enjoyed the process, so last...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    A year or so ago, Tony sent me an old jacket that fit really well. After having some stitching repairs made, I wore it throughout the next year, but eventually the remaining stitching started to pop apart throughout. I took the jacket apart seam by seam, made some fit adjustments by altering the...

    Made my first leather jacket this week.. did a couple more tweaks on the canvas version that I made a couple weeks ago, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the way it turned out. Pretty easy to nail the fit when you’re OCD and making it yourself. This turned out to be the easiest wearing jacket...

    That’s actually great to hear! I wondered if the zipper discomfort would relent with proper break in. I will leave it alone until it gets more well deserved wear.

    Very fresh and still very stiff Model B today. Picked this up from Carrie a couple of months ago for a dedicated bike jacket. I had to size down from my normal 40 to a 38, and it’s still the roomiest jacket I’ve got. Comp weight is a beast, it should be a long road to breaking it in. I haven’t...

    Standard Schott 613 today. Been wearing it from new for about a year and still look forward to putting it on every time. Added a line snap for the belt buckle to protect my precious Victory fuel tank.. love the pattern of the perfecto(super comfy), and really dig the slightly shorter body...

    Thanks for the kind words! Ha, at this point I’m in the infant stages of making anything wearable. Only had the industrial machine for about a month. I’ve sewn a few custom leather motorcycle seat covers and have made several holsters, belts, and wallets, etc., but as far as patterning and...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Wearing my own creation today… patterned after an old jacket that @ton312 gave me a couple years ago. I made some changes to the fit, added a few details, and built it from heavy waxed canvas since this is the first garment I’ve ever attempted. Got the fit dialed in and am ready to make one...

    My 800 was an XRT “roadie” as well. I find the off road oriented models to be a bit tall for me, and I don’t find myself off road more than about 20% of the time. My next tiger will be a roadie also. The 900 GT Pro would do everything I need power wise. I prefer the aesthetics of the 900 too...

    You have chosen wisely! You’re going to love that Tiger… I had a similar transition last year. I bought a Thruxton TFC which I found to be the most beautiful thing in two wheels, but just killed my back and wrists after an hour. Moved that on and grabbed a Daytona 765 Moto 2. Also all carbon...

    Love the metal flake helmet!! I built up a Harley Sportster for my dad about a decade ago when he got back into riding. I did a metal flake/candy paint scheme and it was the most fun I’ve had painting a bike.

    Deer suede looks pretty cool Ton, but you aren’t hiding those lats from anyone! Is that one difficult to put on without the side zips? I feel like I would end up like George W trying to get into a rain poncho

    Such a sweet jacket! I regret selling mine and have been waiting for another to pop up for sale somewhere. I just don’t have the patience for a custom order from Lewis. Looks great on you!

    No, unfortunately that was never mentioned and I only noticed it the day after I left the area. It is interesting though
