    Spongy Haptic on a Leather Jacket means what?

    Pike Brothers Glendale 40's Sports Jacket today First I had to get used to the haptic of the leather (spongy feeling) and have now worn the jacket for a few weeks. Now, I have to say, I have come to love it very much. It fits perfectly. My initial doubts about the leather are gone. I recently...

    Help with new Thedi Jacket details...opinions needed.

    The mullholand is tricky in chest measurement. I had a size 44" at 5'11" 187 lbs. and 41" chest, which I sold due some weight loss. Now I have 167 lbs and 40" chest, tried a size 42" (Pit/Pit 22", 56cm) which is still perfect trim in fitting. From my experience in comparison to other fw jackets...

    Nice jacket in cool configurations in an extraordinary leather. Without being a spoilsport, but as already mentioned, the jacket does not fit your physics in some places (upper arms, waist and back). I am sure that FL can fix these "flaws".

    +1 This is a street fashion jacket completely missed the mark. This jacket is unsuitable for motorcycling. I f there is possibility to return the jacket, I would go with. I think that even a size smaller will not help this jacket will be suitable for motorcycling :(

    I don’t think the HWT will shorten the sleeve length, maybe a few mm, if any. The best way would be to shorten the sleeves. By the way, cool lightweight jacket in vintage optic…

    Spongy Haptic on a Leather Jacket means what?

    Thank you for your inputs. I see that too. After wearing the jacket for a few days, I don't think that this spongy/soft leather is of poor quality. At first I was a bit surprised about the haptic because I didn't know it. But I have to say I love the jacket (and the haptic) more and more. It is...
