That's definitely the case, as evidenced by many pics I've seen. Sometimes the russet and seal can look a bit flat to me though (I like leathers that vary in depth and tones), which is why I'm hesitant to try those leathers, but I do want to give some form of russet a try and I do like the dark...
I wonder if anyone has done this experiment with the black liberty teacore. I don't believe I've seen any black Bill Kelsos with any age on them yet and I'm curious to see that. In fact, the only BK aged liberty horsehide I've seen is Terry's Dodger, really.
I want to like Iron Heart more than I can, but I just don’t see the value compared to, say Brave Star. I get that the finishing won’t be on the same level, but it’s denim at the end of the day, not leather. A cleaner interior is not going to matter to me much.
Still, I would never knock...
Yea the epaulettes will do that for a bit, but I think they will settle down. Honestly, that fit is about as good as it gets. I would keep it and keep breaking it in.
Thanks. I do ride, but I don't haha....Both of my bikes are in a different country that I currently live. I am selling my Ducati Streetfighter 848 and I am keeping my Triumph Tiger 800, but want to eventually ship it to where I live.
I have a 42" chest and 36" waist.
I'm about your size. I weigh 192.5 lbs in this picture taken today and this is the 42 613H. I honestly think it fits you well enough in those pics, and if you are down to 191 lbs and plan to drop more then I'm almost positive the 44 will end up being too big for you once it breaks in.
Good choice in jackets by the way. The 618HH is very nice. Too bad it doesn't fit you as well as you hoped! I recently bought a 613H used from ebay in the same size 42. It's a truly wonderful jacket and I'm sure once you're happy with the fit you will enjoy it for years to come.
Great bike...
I do like the Oxford in the dark maple bainbridge that Thurston Bros posts every now and then and it's on my list.
That's a great fit overall and my body dimensions are very close to yours: 5'10" 193lbs 42" chest, 36" waist.
Do you mind posting the dimensions of the 40 jacket for me please...
