    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Why a Leather Jacket?

    Well said. I struggle a bit with "kept to the necessary". Though it's good advise, I require more time to figure that out; trial and error growing pains I guess.

    Why a Leather Jacket?

    Very true. Much like there's no comparison between an automatic and a standard car for ease of driving; but when you drive a standard you are part of the vehicle and it's past.

    I'm a BJJ guy and I feel the same way, I practice taking off my jacket quickly as the lack of mobility would be awful in an altercation.

A lot of time, money and effort can go into a leather jacket; unlike other types of clothing leather is unforgiving as far as fit goes as there's not a lot of give or adjustment. It seems a lot...

    Do you think it was the conditioner that ruined it or that I was to hard on it? When you say ruined do you mean unwearable?

    Why a Leather Jacket?

    Hey folks, asking a seemingly simple question; why a leather jacket? It's a question I've been asking myself a lot lately( my wife, family and friends are asking as well). I'm asking as a relative newby who's been feeling the effects of the perilous journey towards the ultimate leather jacket...
