Still my favorite jacket ever but waaay too big at this point. I love it & don't want to sell it and would much rather simply trade it for something of the same level, only smaller. Meaning RMC, Lewis Leathers, Lost Worlds of course, Eastman, high end Schott, Fine Creek, etc.
I'm only interested in a diagonal zipper jackets, size 40-ish.
Don't want to trade it for another Speed Demon as I already have one on the way. I've been through many, many jackets, this one is the best. Best hide, fit, functionality, construction, etc., etc.
This jacket is modded in a way that it comes with a 1 pc. back (huge improvement, IMO), wider belt & a hardened kidney panel.
All else is standard; Heavy 4oz horse hide. Warm, quilted lining. Five pocket config...
True, fitted 44. The jacket runs as true to size as possible! Can work if you're a 42, tried and tested. Too big if you're 40 or a 38. Might be too tight if you wear a 46.
I wore it most of the winter, the leather got some grain, that's about it. Whatever zipper the jacket originally came with was replaced with a mega-sturdy YKK so you don't have to worry about the curse of LW anymore.
The jacket just started its long, long journey. Not one single issue whatsoever. Literally smells new.
With the mods and all, this is a $2000+ worth of hide. It also is the best leather jacket you can buy. It's not among the best, it's not top tier - it simply is THE best. I'm not saying this to sell it, merely stating what I consider to be a fact.
which is why I don't intend to sell the jacket for now. Or ever. I'd rather keep it for the time being as I know I'll need it in the winter.
That's that, I suppose.
