I think the fringe is cool.

The fringe is hilariously over the top, from the back you look like some kind of hairy animal. Keep it!
Great fit! You might need to get a few more jackets though to give use to that many zipper pulls. Or start an Etsy shop to sell them.

Thanks!
The whole jacket feels Perfect. Shoulders actually measure 17.25” across. It’s fairly lightweight- perfect for LA.

I was going to say thats a lot of pulls, zipper pulls for all! I know I could use some. I was going to pick up some scrap but this is even better
Send me a PM in a week and I’ll let you know if I was courageous enough to do it.

@handymike - if you just cut off the fringes won't their "stubs" be still visible? Or are you going to open up the seams and just remove them? I love this Kehoe as it has no kidney panel, bi-swing shoulders or side zippers. I like the hand warmer pockets. Killer jacket if the fringes are removed without a trace. May be easier said than done.
I agree, this is almost a Buco J-100, but with handwarmers that close downward. I think I can carefully slip a metal straight edge under the seam to get a close trim...I’m slightly hesitant, but other than a Midnight Cowboy costume it won’t get any wear with the fringe.

I have thought about doing this many times myself, but I dont know if I could either? Looking at the pic you can come pretty close and maybe clean. I'm looking forward to the outcome if you do give it a go. As cool as I think fringe jackets are in a different sorta way. I couldn't rock it either.

Please don’t do it handymike!
That jacket is just perfect as it is. I know you of all people can find a way to make this work. Any man who can wear a rug turned jacket can definitely rock a few fringes.

The Vanson Daredevil in Z150 is quickly proving to be one of my favorite jackets to grab for a ride. Versatile, functional, and comfortable on the bike
