    I think you rock the J23. Fit is spot on. Nice collection Mr.L.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    I am kinda the opposite. I actually like the exposed zippers. I think it gives the jacket a little more attitude. Nice score J.

    Good Wear Hercules in Black Shinki

    Awesome @El Marro, All the jackets you post from now on must include your Chevy! Muscle cars and black leather jackets just compliment each other so well. Rock on!

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    I haven't heard anything since the beginning of last week. I did it in the morning and wore the damp jacket in the house the rest of the day. It was a Schott 618. Most of the water didn't penetrate the top coat. The lining was dry for the most part. I had the jacket zipped up. Hopefully you...

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    I actually did this also. I put my jacket on the driveway during a heavy rain while I waited in a dry house. I went out one time to flip it. lol. It worked pretty well. I was able to shake it off and wear it the rest of the day in the house. The lining only got wet around the edges. Hope you...

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    Thanks Brad. I actually did this with my last 618HH. It was so unmanageable, I dunked it in the stationary tub for about an hour. I then rang out the 50 pound jacket and put it in the drier on "air fluff". Seemed to help alot. I know what you mean, sometimes a spray bottle just doesn't cut it...

    Going to Osaka Japan next month. Where to buy leather jackets?

    Thanks for the pics Colin G. What a magnificent place. I hope to visit Japan before I die. I would love to experience the culture. What a place. Glad to hear you survived covid. I can't wait for this crap to be over.

    The juke box would stop playing in any bar this badass m-fer walked into.

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    Thanks @El Marro. Can't wait to see it in person. I hope I can handle the break in. Lol. @ton312's jacket looks like a complete tank. I was able to handle Vansons old competition weight, but I was about 15 years younger. lol.

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    That looks exactly what I am after. I didn't specify shiny/dull. I thought they came only one way. I did ask Alan about the sheene treatment after seeing @Jin431's jacket, he said I didn't need it.

    1. Schott 618 2. a cross zip 3. another cross zip.

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    Thanks again Jin for being great eyes and ears. lol. I am hoping for a vest and maybe some leather overpants for riding. I don't think I will go super heavy on either of those. Probably around 3-3.25oz. Only problem is, all the leathers you describe sound great. It is hard to tell from a little...

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    Thanks for trying my friend. lol. You have been a great help describing all the leathers and projects in the Bay Area. I am going to keep an eye out for updates of your German leather. I will be looking for a riding vest in the spring/summer. You are our eyes on the street.

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    I can't believe you made an awesome jacket even better. Stunning. That brown is off the charts, your jacket is really starting to break in nicely. Hope to see more of it.

    Johnson Leather MC500

    Thanks J. I am trying to per-fect the perfecto. lol. Hopefully this will be my main riding jacket. Hope it comes out as good as the other JL's we are seeing lately.

    Johnson Leather MC500

    I have a JL in the works and HOPEFULLY should be done very soon. They were finishing it up last week, so hopefully will be done in the next few days. It is going to be a modified perfecto. Laced sides, with a belt, 4oz black overdye, detatchable collar, and insulated lining. Hopefully I will be...

    That is a great shade of brown. That Horween hide looks spectacular.
