    Himel Bros. Grizzly Jacket Review

    Lol. You would be correct: I have a super-rare XR1200X Sportster (serious fun, that one), along with several other Harleys, to include a Road King for longer distance riding. I never really made the connection between my handle and sporties before your post, but my wife does have a XL1200C...

    Himel Bros. Grizzly Jacket Review

    Himel Bros. Grizzly Jacket Review

    Not at all. I think you are not familiar with some of the modern scooters available. These are not the teeny-wheeled numbers to be seen in the film Roman Holiday. The BMW even has an electrically operated windshield, heated grips and seat. Hell, it even has a headed passenger seat. That scooter...

    Himel Bros. Grizzly Jacket Review

    We have scooters and they will do over 100mph, and the BMW one will do that with a passenger. In your estimation, at what speed does one need to achieve before moving into the "heavier protective weight leather, required" category?

    Opinions on Aeros

    I would advise that if the jacket is intended as a fashion item then forgo the zippers. If it is intended for utility, zippers can be quite handy.

    A New Schott Model: The 603USA Cafecto

    No, thank you......

    A New Schott Model: The 603USA Cafecto

    That was the point, exactly. They don't, nor do they need to, care. They ship boatloads of jackets.

    Help finding this beautiful leather jacket

    I don't believe the posted jacket is a Schott B-3. The Schott has a heavy fleece all around the bottom hem, as well as the cuffs. The Schott cuffs are a reduced-size and extended style. Also, the front zipper facings appear to be different.

    Anyone else interested in the ancient world?
