    Akubra Overload

    Howdy hat folks! I've been eyeing a campdraft or bushman for a bit to be my daily hat so I can leave my nice open road for fancy occasions. I'm lucky to have a place I can try on Akubra hats in person. Yesterday I tried on a 58 and a 59 - I'm wearing a 57 in Stetsons. The question is fit and...

    Congrats - glad you like it! I think it such a striking design. This is timely for me as I'm contemplating the same jacket right now so all thoughts and opinions are much appreciated. I'm debating liking the look of the button up but wondering if I'll miss the convenience of a zipper. Other...

    White Cafe Racer

    oh yeah one other question for you is it cool? I have a black perf jacket that is okay but it is still pretty hot for riding in the Nashville heat at city speeds. At speed it seems pretty alright. I was considering a mesh jacket for around town but like leather way better for the...

    White Cafe Racer

    thanks that is great info! the bigger perf's look pretty nice to me from the pics - it gives the jacket some contrast. Do they not work functionally? Maybe some unperfed leather on the elbows and lower back for abrasion. so those are the measurements of the jacket you took? that's...

    that is a great jacket - i joined the lounge so I could say that ....and ask some questions.
