    Did you ever regret selling a jacket?

    Didn't really sell my black cxl 50s HB as it was stolen but as soon as it was gone I went on a binge and now have too many jackets.

    JL custom m200

    I didn't ask to see the hide as I've tried on a couple jackets made from it. Its substantial, Damon said it's a little heavier than same weight CXL because of the overdye. It will definitely be rough wearing to start with as it's stiff like with regular CXL but it's going to be great after a...

    Yes, you bet the black overdye is available at hand for use!

    ^^ most likely, that's a great idea as the black overdye is dull

    ^^ yes, another one on the way from the folks at Horween. Middle weight vegetable tanned is all I know about it, we have members here who have it through Simmons bilt.

    The new HH is definitely interesting, I'll wait a few months to see how they (JL staff) like it and how it develops with wear but it's very nice to the touch and easy to wear but still substantial. Also wanting to see how the Horween Milan looks like in person. Good luck, hope it fits. My...

    JL custom m200

    I think the dark brown bison will look good and be comfortable for your rides and I'm sure it can take a beating from hard wear and the weather. Also interesting to see how a well worn one would look. If you go with black, I'm sure it will be mean looking and will look the part for your...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    ^^ the heels make sense so one don't slip off the electrical pole. Never tried a roofer boot before but it's cool to me. Yep, I hear you seems like its just whatever sticks.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Definitely interesting and I'm pleased it's making a comeback. I noticed how popular it is especially in the Asian market. I have a black one in order and hope to receive it by end of the month.

    That's true, the teacore effect really is nice like that. I haven't had a jacket made of a leather like that but it's rather nice to look at. Yep, it did smell good and there something about it that feels special. Ask to wear the sample when you go visit

    JL custom m200

    The German horsehide is very easy wearing, I believe is 2.5-3 oz but it is much softer than a new stiff stand on its own cxl 3.25-3.5oz that they offer. I might get that in a trucker for next time. I am not sure if it's dyed through or pigment finished, try reaching out to JL. They would give...

    I would like to see how this ends up if you ever went ahead and try it out

    JL custom m200

    yes it's pretty good after we get the fit jacket. They are also making jackets for a company using the German horsehide so that's probably why they were busy this last few months. Its the regular brown cxl, he offered to get a tumbled version but I want to try to break in a cxl jacket. I didn't...

    JL custom m200

    ^^ goodluck, hope it goes well. Just got back from JL store. I finalized my order, went with the brown cxl (could've went for burgundy but I'm wanting an aero cordovan cxl or stick with black overdye but I always wanted a brown cxl so there it goes). I should get my order sometime next week On...

    Got it and it makes complete sense that some jackets are just designed specifically for what they were meant to be used for.
