Okay, perhaps a SLIGHT exaggeration...
The jacket of RiceKnight retails at GBP 2.200, so we are talking serious money here...
Bally has been in the leather business for many years and their quality is first rate. I have a Bally lamb jacket and, while it is not as hearty or robust as a HH jacket, it is nevertheless a stellar garment. That said, I haven't worn it in years because my preferences have changed.
Hey, RiceKnight, I hope I did not come across as lecturing you or judging your decision. I certainly did not mean to, and I have my own share of fashion-stuff.
I would never question personal taste, and as I said I find Bally makes a high-quality product.

The jacket arrived, the leather and cut are nuce and the stitching is tight. It's fairly cropped, but this is my first bikers style so maybe that's normal.

The quality of Bally has gone down over the years. My parents live in Switzerland and love the brand. If you walk into the second hand stores there and look at the Bally bags and things, the leather use to be so nice and thick and their name was built on high quality leather craft.
Unfortunately now they are owned by a large chinese/hk company and their quality is more mainstream.
How do you find the quality on this one as compared to your expectations?
So, are chest seams and pockets too much?
