    ^^^ Looks good! Just barely out of the birth canal… long life ahead.

    Best Leather Gloves?

    Yeah, it seems the velcro strap would come undone in a crash, but these feel very secure and I can’t imagine the gloves being pulled off… not even in an Evel Knievel wipeout.

    Best Leather Gloves?

    Ah thanks! My memory has failed after two decades. My first pair then was elk skin that were stolen off the motorcycle seat and these were the replacement… my memory got them turned around. They were the same brand, same style and same look… not sure if elk and deer hides are the same.

    Best Leather Gloves?

    I have worn a pair of American-made elkskin gloves for two decades. I ride with them, drive with them, walk the dog with them, and go to the theatre with them. Can’t remember who made them, but I love elk skin and recommend this hide for your digits.

    Prayers for Ken of Aero

    Dude is built like a FQHH CXL crosszip so I’m certain he’ll pull through with one more spot of patina. Best to him and family.

    Fit check

    If it fits like that, unzipped or zipped, then I’d definitely keep it! Looks terrific on you.

    Fit check

    Open zip looks good. How is it when zipped?

    Eastman Roadstar Crosszip

    It’s what I found confusing about the sizes for jackets with the same size label, that the individual specs are meaningfully different. As actual measurements, mine are: P2P 22.25 Shoulders 17.5 Sleeves round the outside: 24.25 Length: 24.25 I know of course there are some variations from...

    I thought these details were dropped, but delightfully surprised.

    Jacket came today and I took a few, quick cellphone pictures in my garage workshop with terrible lighting (sorry!). Let me know your thoughts on fit. Thanks.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Didn’t think I’d ever wear another crosszip again at my age, until I got this simple Schott 613. Been wearing this steer all week and, as tough as it is when new, it’s starting to get domesticated.

    Eastman Roadstar Crosszip

    Jacket is on the way, but meanwhile one of the team members at S&S had kindly offered to hold a size 38 aside, just in case the 40 doesn’t work out. One thing for certain is that S&S has always been graceful with customer service and are more than happy to make things right. I’ll report back.

    I’m sorry for my unfamiliarity of OTR. Is that a stockist or an abbreviation of something?

    Eastman Roadstar Crosszip

    I’ve been sitting with this quiet suspicion that they were measuring panel-to-panel instead of edge-to-edge at the armpits. I’ll see when it arrives—may have to raise a fuss. I’ll report back.

    In addition to having a leather jacket problem, I also have a a wool sweater problem.

    Not as bad as a watch problem. (But I’ll admit I don’t have to worry about moths.)

    I wasn’t implying that Eastman was at fault and agree with you that specs can be inconsistent from various stockists.
