Thanks! It's like an entirely new jacket after JL did the alterations. That's a very accurate assessment, the JL company has been on a roll and they keep churning out great pieces right after the other. Feels like they are inspired and adapted to the ever changing taste from customers
@Tom71...
It's a great touch, looks cooler that way too. That's a good bit of info to know that FW designs their jacket that way. Is this jacket from Japan and acquired through buyee or yahoo?
I hear you, that was also my main concern in that I didn't want to have too strong of a biker vibe so I ordered one in brown and went for the zipper sleeves on the inside
I wish you all the best with your 2nd jacket! Exciting times ahead! You seem to know what you want so that's a good start. I like the approach you are taking with the minimalist look although Im thinking if you take away the chest pockets and just have hand pockets then it might not really be a...
Love the color! The fit is perfect all through out, especially the fit on the shoulders/sleeves/back length. There seems to be a subtle front drop which is very cool to see as most truckers are kind of square. Fantastic find! Great job on the pick up.
Yes, I forgot to mention how there's that wet oily look to the surface. It's just pretty damn nice is what it is. The finish has a big difference to the jacket on display and damons personal jacket he showed me compared to what you are getting. You lucky guy you.
My man @Seank you did it! That was a great call in getting the jacket from TB! This is an inspiring perfect fit. Real nice! I'm so happy this turned out so well and that your wife approved resoundingly. Congratulations, this is a keeper!

I did notice the longer body lengths in these Japanese type 1 & 2 jackets that makes the proportions a little different where the sleeves seems to end where the bottom band lies. Maybe that's just how the Japanese prefer it but I...
Oh man that would be so cool to have for sure. I've noticed you have it in both styles and I always like those jackets! might as well go for the whole treatment ala @El Marro.
I hear you, I should go visit them and give them my business. I've been following them for a while but still havent bought anything from the store. I'm so lucky that my work place is like 8 blocks away from their Oakland store
I mean I get it, it really is suited to the heavier hides and I don't fear the zipper or the pull giving out even when I'm not careful with it. I would probably appreciate it more if it was a single zip, as the two pulls jangles all the time when I wear it unzipped.
Thanks @ton312 im just trying to get my CXL on. I'm getting lucky with this game now.
Wow that's a lot of future projects to look out for! I don't know anything about motorcycle gear but I know JL makes a bunch of them and man do they mean business. I would imagine that a heavy leather pants...
Got it and that's exactly what Damon recommended to do if I ever wanted to shorten the jacket. I will not mess with the length now, I want to live with the length and the two way zipper for now to see if it will grow on me. I do know that I don't want a #10 size zipper for any of my future...
Yes, a CXL jacket is a must. I myself have started loving the brown/cordovan CXL that a lot of members here wear. There's something about those colors that is special, and if you get one of those really exceptional hides too then that's going to make it even better. I just got vaccinated today...
This just seems a perfect jacket you can wear anywhere and wear all the time. It's in brown too so it will be more interesting to pair with outfits. This will look so good and so much better than the mishap with your previous order from that other maker.
That's so similar to what I might need...
The brown cxl is really pretty in real life or pictures but I feel the construction of the jacket elevated it some more, i hear you nothing beats a slim fitting jacket that fits to a tee. Yes, the sleek/minimalist look definitely takes the cake and for sure it will age better too because of a...
