Happy for you, will waiting for your photos.
AVI is really very, very comfy jacket, perhaps one of the most comfortable my leather jackets for the summer.
Unfortunately we still have hot weather here, but next week forecast promise a cold and I will be able to wear it again.
Envying your leather jackets guys :) Heat still here, so today my jacket - Vietnam War slant pocket short sleeve jungle jacket from 1967. Many pockets for different things and so comfy.
