A Trojan cross zip? Can't be

 

[Tom71]

Well, if Super really crosses (pun intended) over to the dark side and gets a x-zip, I will rethink my reservations about that fringed, patched LL, Monitor put up last week.

 

[handymike]

I doubt it’s a cross-zip...

My best friend has been helping me a lot with the works on my house.
Together we have completely redone the entire heating system (we moved 13 cast iron radiators, the heaviest one was 180kg/400lb, it had to go down 44 steps!), layed 80 sheets of drywall in the basement, done a bunch of electrical work, we basically spend at least 1 or 2 days a week working here, for what seems like a year, maybe more, it never ends...

He makes fun about my leather jacket "problem", but recently he tried on my ELMC windward and i could see he was really into it, he kept it on all evening and by the time he left he was caling it "my new jacket"...
That same evening i checked on eBay and there was the exact same size (42L) jacket for sale but in brown rather than black. (he is definitely a man in brown more than a man in black). My Mate's birthday was in a month, I hit BIN on the spot.

The jacket ended up stuck in customs for a month and a half, infortunate i missed his Bday but it was finally released today.

Going to go pick it up on Monday, should give it to him next week, he has no idea...
It's his first leather jacket:

I doubt he is going to become a TFL weirdo like us, but i think his first step into the leather jacket world wil be a good one.

Gotta say he’s an awesome friend for helping you so much. And you’re an amazing friend for repaying him with such a gift. That’s friendship goals right there.

Well done! As someone who's frequently helped out friends & family with their home improvement projects myself, I'd say this gift will be quite a surprise & very much appreciated by your friend. (Especially after moving & refitting those cast iron radiators! I have 7 in my house [built ~1885] and can assure you they will never be moved. Just did all the trim & floor work around them...)

Now that's what I call a friendship. Good on ya Carlos!

I am trying to decide what to get next. I lost a few pounds and am down to my "summer riding weight". lol. Just another reason to get another jacket. This jacket will have to fit on the snugger side. It will be used in warmer weather with the lapels opened and just a t shirt. If the jacket is a size too big, it tends to balloon up and act like a sail. My current 618 is a size 46 and probably a size to big(I can layer a Carhartt sweatshirt underneath).

I am leaning hard on a steerhide 618 in a size 44. My actual chest measurement is 44. I always thought a leather jacket with patches was the epitome of cool. This jacket will get patches added to it. I am also considering the Vanson Rock and Roll jacket. It might be a tad too heavy for summer riding, but damn, that is a perfect name for THAT jacket. Decisions, decisions. lol.

Go for the Vanson and let us know how it works out please.
I have always wanted a twin track jacket, but i kinda want to try one out first as i think the double zipper thing might be hard to size.
The Lewis Leathers Bronx also has that feature and is super cool too.

That is what is scaring me away from the RandR. That, and my last competition leather from Vanson was complete garbage. I don't think they stock the RandR either. I believe they have to make one up, which can also be very unpredictable with Vanson. If I went with Vanson, I would probably go with their X or Z leather. I am pretty confident the Vanson would work on the m/c.

If I lived across the pond, I would go for the Lewis. That jacket just says British rock and roll. British history. I hope to have a Lewis someday, just for the nostalgia alone.

I know as the collection hopefully grows, these jackets will be must haves. Not sure what to get first. lol

My Vanson Cycle king was made with what was left of the last batch of X-150.
They have changed supplier since and i have no idea what their current X is like.
I really hope it hasn't gone the same way the Comp Weight has gone...

The Cycle king really is a super Vanson too, i probably even like it more than my custom Commando, it really is a great jacket.
It is super V shaped, short in the body, very comforable forward reach, probably my favourite Vanson, at least top three.
I think it's great value for money.
