    JL custom m200

    Alright, hope you get it soon and get the actual jacket cut in no time. Buffalo? They offer that now too? JL spoiling us for choices I know, I'm excited to finally have a brown CXL piece. Will do, will try to post photos by Friday. Thank you.

    ^^ okay that might be it, I'll try to confirm with JL later in the week. I'll be picking up my jacket on Thur or Fri

    Shinki vs Badalassi - elasticity

    ^^ alright that's a nice touch! That would look great with the tobacco badalassi

    JL custom m200

    I saw that, that looked great. The new HB pattern they have is sleeker/trimmer fitting with high arm holes. Properly sized, I think it will have great range of motion. Yes, the cool looking vintage pulls are fascinating until they fail. I like the repro look but will go with function first...

    Shinki vs Badalassi - elasticity

    Good luck with the next build! Badalassi will be a great addition to your outerwear collection. What pattern will it be this time? My tobacco badalassi STF BL was stiff at first but not even close when compared with Horween CXL. I didn't get any bruises or redness on my shoulder/arms. The...

    JL custom m200

    ^^ hope it never happens. thanks, I'm now being more careful aligning the insert pin to the box. Reached out to JL but no reply yet when my jacket will be ready for pick up.

    ^^ Agreed, felt that the stock zipper was inadequate for the 50s HB Cxl Fqhh I had. Knew it was just a matter of time before the retainer box gave way.

    JL custom m200

    Too bad that leather made me think hard twice before picking the brown cxl too. Did you go with the brown cxl too? What jacket pattern did you go with this time? Does the talon that aero uses vintage/dead stock/repro? Wow, that's a lot of hardware failure and all from reputable companies...

    ^^ What size was that riri zipper? That sucks, hope I never have to deal with zipper failure. Alright, good luck with the next project. Just reach out to them, it may take a whi,e but I'm sure they'll source it for you.

    JL custom m200

    I hear you, the YKK is tried and tested. The #10 single or 2 way zip they offer will do the job especially for heavier hides.

    Thedi jacket: anyone have this one or more pics?

    So it's a cafe racer with offset chest pocket placement with zipper & snap closure? That's definitely different and interesting.

    JL custom m200

    It is an absolutely beautiful leather for sure. The jacket is definitely well built and I'm sure that's good for riders safety. I think it's just a matter of preference. Im sure some would rather prefer the shinier black compared to a flatter black and vice versa. When you had your zippers...

    JL custom m200

    ^^ yeah, that overdye would look much nicer with the added sheen on it. The black overdye cross zip from the wjaywt thread is an absolute beast of a jacket.

    Got it, will do that. I was told last Friday that it'd be ready within a week so hopefully any day now.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Man, I think that's a lot of leather. You can't wear it layered up all the time and if you do cinch the side adjusters all the way it just accentuates the fact that it's too loose. Maybe send the fit photos and also take photos of the jacket with a measure so it's transparent to them that this...

    ^^ 0.8" on both sides or total circumference? Hope they get back to you soon.

    Hope you can exchange this or maybe get credit? I saw the side facing photos and looks like the side adjusters are pulled all the way back so it looks like it might be too loose on the waist/hip? I thought my slim fit bootlegger was loose but this has a lot more slack
