I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal. I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my office smells of rich mahogany. The chairs are perfect.
Lol I had to laugh at this because it’s true.
You are legend. And as i’ve said before...ain’t nobody moves that jacket to sit down.

One of my all time favorite cafe racers is the vintage Harley Horsehide “One-Pocket” Sportster. The horsehide on these Sportsters is simply amazing- the kind of horsehide Shinki wishes it could be. The weight and heft of the hide hits that ideal sweet spot- supple yet substantial enough for anything the San Francisco weather throws at me.
Simple, minimal, distinctive— the no frills Buco/Board Racer style back, the Conmar diamond zip and Conmar main zip…and a fit that just feels right every time I put it on. Board Racers are fine too…but I always reach for my Sportster because it’s the real deal. Maybe that’s why I have five of them hanging in the closet now. Sigh... I’ve really got to let a couple of them go…

Simple, minimal, distinctive- this is why it is an all-time classic. What can beat this? Nothing really.
Should be every man's first jacket.

It’s surprisingly good! Denim is different than IH or N & F heavyweight. Insanely stiff, very smooth (not hairy like IH nor as soft). For the money it’s an untouchable value.

I just picked up some Bave Star 21.5oz jeans. I'm really happy with them. An incredible value for made in the USA heavy selvedge. Are they IH, no, but damn nice either way. The denim isn't near as stiff after a soak, dry, and couple wears. I know a lot people vary on opinions, and many will disagree with me, but I soak mine on the get go if I plan on them being daily wearers.

I'm wearing them in the past couple pics I've posted.
