    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Speaking of Perfectos, I wore my 618 today. I swear it's black and not grey. I need to work on my picture taking. All this talk about 118s and now I'm wanting one again for my Perfecto collection. Glad you found one @Viking752, looks good.

    I bought and RMC Buco j-24 and found a scar on the leather. Help me determine if it’s considered character or not.

    I am no leather expert, but I have been on this forum for a long time. I check it almost every day ( I know, I really need to get a life, lol). I have NEVER seen a jacket rip only where a scar has been. NEVER. @Kenan, You have nothing to worry about the scar being a weak point AT ALL. As for...

    Thanks. They are Vansons. I think they run a little small. I had to size up for a snug fit.

    My 618hh would stand on its own when I first got it. It was surprisingly stiff. I think it was a 2019? I thought I had a few pics, but I couldn't find them. These pics were after a few wears, but fairly new.

    Schott says its 3-3.5oz and I would say that is about right. I would say it is about as waterproof as you would get in leather, same as CXL. My last Schott 618hh was super stiff in the beginning but will eventually soften up. I am a fan of Schott HH. Not very impressive at first but will gain...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Took out the JL today for more "testing" lol. I wanted to see how it performed in warmer weather. It was about 80 degrees and lower humidity. I was surprised how well the jacket did. It fits a little on the looser side. I wanted to open the lapels and sleeve zips and see how it did. I thought...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Thanks for taking yourself to the hospital. And thanks for the public service announcement. I had a heart attack the day after I turned 43. I waited a week before I went to the hospital. My pain was mild/annoying. I would get out of breath very easy. I waited till the following weekend to go...

    LOL. no. Those are the local nicknames for Cleveland. I'm not really sure what ones are known nationally. I just tried to get most of them. I was debating about drinking today. Thanks J. You twisted my arm. lol. I'll have a few for you, my friend.

    That was our first/only championship in over 50 years. Nobody knew what to do when we won. lol. Cleveland is a football town first, followed by baseball. Basketball has always been third around here. Local sportstalk radio is always Browns, Browns, Browns, with a little Indians/guardians talk...

    I'm from " the Rock n' Roll capital," "The Land", "mistake on the lake", "The CLE", "best location in the nation", "the 216", "C Town". LOL. All that, to say, I live in Cleveland Ohio. :):cool:

    CXL vs an angry Lake Erie today. Very windy and about 52 degrees out. No match for the CXL. Lake Erie will have to wait until late November for a rematch.

    Women's leather jackets

    That is such a little cutie you have there Abba!! Adorable! I think most women like to keep their jackets in new condition. I don't think most appreciate a well worn/beat up leather jacket.

    Women's leather jackets

    Has that jacket been seeing a lot of wear? I don't think women wear leather as hard as guys do. Any M/C use?

    Has anybody seen ____ around Lately?

    I dont think he is leaving. He said he is waiting to get a Cal back from JL that he hopes to share with us. I hope he sticks around, he was starting to get into the M/C jackets. He was starting to get quite the collection.

    Has anybody seen ____ around Lately?

    He sent me an email last week. He said he has been busy. He is really into denim jackets/shirts at the moment. He hopes to be back on TFL soon.

    Everything in this pic is AWESOME! Looking great Edward. I had the same "issue" with my 618/IH634s. They both met up at the same spot.

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    I think you will love the JL CXL. I am not sure if it has an extra coating or not, but I think it is heavier/thicker (3.5oz vs 4oz+). I can't wait to hear your expert opinion/comparison. I think the Horween CXL makes an excellent motorcycle leather. My motorcycle jackets have to perform in...
