Awesome AL Cafe Racer in Black HH

[polygraphmark]

Hey all-
I received my amazing AL Cafe Racer in 40 from Drifter Productions today. Bobby is an awesome dude to work with. He has a great depth of knowledge on AL products, he is patient, kind and thoughtful.

The black Warhawks HH is easy to wear right out of the box. The jacket tapers quite a bit so when ordering get a good idea of your waist with a belt on. I am 5'08" 155 pounds and wear a 40 to 41 regular suit coat and 33" waist jeans. The pit to pit fit is good at 21" and the waist has little room around the hips as it is 19. I am on a strict light beer diet from here on out!

My that's good

But what is the cap?! That's really great! Exactly like whst I'm looking for!

It's a great combo.

PS - you mean 5ft 8", not 5ft 08", or the width wouldn't work as you are on a beer diet

Thanks handy mike. I learned a lot by reading posts here. It is an incredible repository of knowledge.

Very nice!

Give it some time to break in and it will get even better!
My Warhawk CR is starting to lose the top coat around the edges and at friction point, showing a very nice brown undercoat, it looks awesome.

Fit looks good -- congrats and welcome.

Hey Carlos did yours stretch out any as you wore it?

NICE.............

Not really, in my opinion leather won't stretch much, apart maybe for the elbows.
It did however mold to me very nicely. When it was new it felt like it was made of cardboard, now it feels like a second skin made of armour.

If you are asking that regarding the waist i don't think you will get much stretch there if at all. I also have 33" waist and i aim for 20" to 21" so i can imagine 19" must be on the snugger side.

Los thanks man you are completely correct. It will be a t-shirt riding jacket. Thanks for sharing the thread. I really like your jacket as well.

Ma'am I have to head out at 0400 for DC but when I get back in Friday I will shoot you a close up of the leather. Do you want the front or the back? Thanks.
