    Lets see those Motorcycle Jackets!

    I love how the brown pops through the black. And sometimes the effect makes the leather look maroon colored.

    The Bison grains like hell, and straight out of the box. It would be nice to see how it evolves in 10 or 20 years. But I would say it is going to look mostly the same, in the good way. The bison is like Sean Connery in his 20's he looked like 50 and then he stopped aging.:D

    Wearing a new piece of a garment is just a mind game that have to be over come, then it gets easier and after awhile the norm.

    I never wear shorts, not even on the hottest summer days. I'm mostly wearing my 25oz IHs no matter what. And if it gets really hot close to 30°C then I bring out my 11oz LVC jeans.

    Thats lots of natural stretch marks, on my old Aero trail rider there were only few on the back and on my new jacket barely any. Might be the way they make the leather, if I'm correct they shave some of material on CX steer and HH so it may be that that will remove the natural "imperfections"...

    I didn't find any dedicated threads only for graining and/or evolution of leather jackets. So let this be it. Here's my recently acquired Aero PHWM in black CX Steer:
