@MrProper It is such a beauty and the grain and colour are looking spectacular!

@JMax It's a beauty and I'm glad that it fits you so well. At the first glance I thought that it's a FW Centinela but then I saw the Crown zipper and remembered that you had one on order. Did you choose the 4oz+ HH?

 

[JMax]

Thanks Robbie. It is 4+oz, jacket weighs a bit over 7 lbs. But it is the recent, more pliable out-of-the box leather. Really easy to wear. My older LWs are much stiffer.

too light for this kind of jacket in my opinion, but you look great!!

^ Now that's a proper zip. Can you get that gauge zipper with Aero horsehide jackets, or just LW?

It's a size 10 spring loaded Crown, i have them on all my LW and they are without a doubt the finest zippers i have tried. They are NOS from the 40s-50s i think and are not made anymore.
Technically you could put one on anything, it's only a zipper, I know Langlitz has a few in store, i guess you just have to find one, they are not common.
LW sells them for $250, i think Langlitz is $175 or something like that, expensive but definitely worth it.

Edit: i am pretty sure Aero would refuse to use a zipper this big, they love tiny no5 ones. But i guess you could have Johnson make you a jacket with one, althought i think you might have to source the zipper yourself.

That looks fantastic! It's exactly the sort of fit and look I'm trying to find, which is how I came across this site and all of the great info I've been finding here. I started out with something like this from Taylor Stitch, but unfortunately it doesn't fit my shape so I'm looking for alternatives. Little did I know the rabbit hole this site would lead to, unfortunately my wife isn't too impressed as it's just like when I got into watches haha.

Perfect Fit my friend.

Thanks. You should try out a LW when you get a chance. I bet it makes riding the RG in the winter a bit easier.

They are on the short list. Some days its the speed demon, and other days its the J23. Just when I have my heart set on a J23, our friend @Monitor, puts up some pics of his speed demon.

Awesome jacket. What makes the most sense is to get both. lol.

I have a "Brando" jacket "in the works" with JL. It came to a screeching halt with this covid crap. Maybe after the holiday I can try and touch base with Alan. Hopefully we can get it done soon.

I've also got my eye on a LW trucker vest.

My father is wearing LW raider/G8 I bought for him, he loves it.
