What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

Never mind I see. I believe your arms being a little short is a big plus here. It makes all the difference, really an awsome jacket bro

Yes, the forearms are good to go. I need a bit of extra length in the arms for how I ride. It worked out well, you scared me for a second bro.

It is heavier than I thought it would be, around 6.5 lbs. really pumped about this jacket.

I love the Shinki SB used. I had a J-100 cut out of that hide. It's a shame SB stopped stocking it. I keep asking Debs to bring it back!

It is beautiful to look at and it smells great. My wife said, “that’s what leather should smell like”. She then added I should get rid of everything I own and stock up on nice smelling jackets. Won’t happen sweetie, won’t happen.

This Shinki feels more substantial than its actual weight. It doesn’t look or feel anything like the Jelado I had, which was amazing, but it felt, and was, light. Both will break in beautifully.

Great fit!

I’ve been considering a comet in either octagon or one of the brown leathers.

Did you have to add to the length?
@Mrfrown Thanks! I actually bought an off the rack jacket which fits me well IMO. I would definitely recommend the Octagon colour as it is really unique with different brown shades depending on light conditions. It's actually one of my favourite leather colours. I also like their Bainbridge Dark Maple a lot. Even if it's mid-weight leather it needs some break-in.

My first attempt at a "washroom selfie". Simmons Bilt Nebraska today in black goat. Spring may be here at last !

Don't know why the photo is "sideways" but I rarely post photos straight from the 'phone to the forum, usually I am a desktop jockey.
