Any updates? I just ordered a J-106 in natural CXL, I really couldn't resist the beauty of this combo!

Hey guys I just took delivery of my new KoTR! First time wearing it today taking kids to windy airfield in 15 degrees. This jacket is perfect in wind resistance and not too warm at all in fact I had to zip it up. Well I did pair it with shorts!!

See pics my children took for me.

The HH feels cooler than my SH HWM for sure even when zipped up.

The sleeves openings are quite fitted I don’t even need to zip them.

You definitely made the right choice.

I have my eye on one of these since I've been searching for a 50s Hercules in good condition for ages and they run quite a lot.

Big congrats! Super beautiful execution of the jacket, colour could hardly look nicer. Most important, you absolutely nailed the fit!

Now, go and find some real trousers, and nothing can beat the looks! ;)

Well done. The natural leather will only get better with time, too.

Thank you very much guys for the compliments! Coincidentally I got a pair of 33oz Soso jeans almost new - I did try them but quickly decided the baggy fit would make some amazing heaviest duty shorts lol. Have yet to find the time to cut them and hem myself.

I wear chinos all years in UK to work and weekends. I’ve one pair of jeans (not counting the Soso jeans) which I only bought after acquiring a Samurai beast of a belt.

British summer is so short and hey I own so many pair of shorts so got to get them out when still can. I did ask my daughter’s opinion and she said daddy you look so cool in your leather jackets and shorts :)

Update - have worn this jacket for about 10 times now and I try to wear on sunny days to increase the tan - these pics were taken over the weekend at a pumpkin farm - the jacket colour goes well with pumpkins!!

I’ve got trousers on just still in trainers not proper shoes /boots ;)
