I really like your Duke jacket. Their Victory HH is still one of my favorite leathers (very luxurious leather) but no longer available. They also offer Shinki HH now (also tea-core) but I have no idea about the quality compared to FW, RMC, FL, etc. Probably I'm giving it a try at some time in the future as the BK size 38R is the best fitting jacket I own.

Comet for our cooler weather that just hit. The bigger arms make for much easier movement than the premier highwayman, makes me wonder how the non-premier would work.

(very luxurious leather)

That is an excellent description of the Victory Horsehide. I have never handled anything like it.

I've owned several BK jackets and fit was never an issue in the proper size. No idea what they are doing these days.

Cool morning today. Sported my Fidelity in HH. Great jacket. If you find one, buy it.

Finally having the carpet in two of my bedrooms removed. I had to move a bunch of stuff into my boys playroom, including these…

Hein Gericke, this has been pretty much my daily wear jacket for the last few months.

I know how great HG can be but this jacket has serious LW vibe. If you had said it's Speed Demon, I would've believed you. Something about the hide, vibe, etc.

That's why I'm no longer playing the jacket game and will live out the rest of my life dressed in rags. Physically impossible to collect all this for me and it's what I want out of life.

I actually threw this on on the way to work today. Not really necessary but there’s a stiff nor’ easter blowing some truly refreshing air in and frankly I wanted to drive in it. I don’t see how this doesn’t become my most worn jacket. These Monarch’s are so beautifully made. They feel luxurious and stand apart from the other vintage stuff. I think it’s the highest form of vintage horse I’ve ever handled. Maybe the nicest leather I’ve ever handled period. At least so far…I’ve got a long way to go.

Gotta say that you are rocking the jacket and the beard! Recently started having a short beard myself, so I'm taking more notice of them on other guys.

I do hope he ends up liking them. Right now though, if it isn’t Wile E Coyote and Road Runner he doesn’t care.

Thanks man! First time I’ve really let it grow so figuring it out as I go. A nice change of pace and my better half has been digging it

No rudeness intended

There is a joke amongst Professional Photographers which parallels this

'If you have a great meal do you ask chief which Oven they cooked it in?'

I'm not a professional photographer though. I'm an amateur who cares a lot about gear... so it's a relevant question to me.

Also, your analogy doesn't really work IMO. If I was an aspiring chef, I would ask a lot of questions about what another chef did to make a great meal if I had the opportunity.

My favorite phrase is something along the lines of "How do you know which photographers are the amateurs at an expo? The ones looking at the cameras. The pros are looking at lighting." I'm an amateur and am fine with that.

As @Joshua Holland mentioned, the type of camera used (35mm, apsc, etc) and the lens does matter in terms of the effect/framing of the photo. For example, this is relevant to me because I do not own a 50mm lens and I really like how these photos look.

You also are not aware of the fact that I know the OP and we talk on IG often.

One final important note- if you have to preface a comment with "no rudeness intended" then the comment is rude.
