Bought a Used Custom 13.5 pounds Motorcycle Jakcet

[KissMyMuscle]

Man I thought my 11lb Aero was the heaviest...13.5 is insane. Looks soft though so that must help the wear ability somewhat. Looks like a Walter leather co. jacket. The braided bits are a signature of that maker.

Thanks for your information. It does look similar. But this one does not have a brand. The store owner told me it is a custom jacket. And it does fit like a custom sized jacket. This jacket has the silmest waist lengths compare to my other same size jacket..

 

[KissMyMuscle]

Wow! Thats pretty cool. Curious, did you weigh it or the shop owner said it weighs that much?

The store owner told me its over 15 pounds. I weighed it at home, it is little over 13.5 pounds. over 6kg.

If you don't ride a MC, then you need to start, just to put that jacket to use.

An Aero Sheene would be a simple design that is a classic.

I do have a little honda ruckus. Even with 50cc I like the feelings when I ride with it. But car drivers here in Vancouver are not used to share the road with rider. It's kind of dangerous riding side by side with them.

It's just too heavy, anything over 9 lbs would bring certain amount of discomfort.

Probably it affect the movement, but fortunately I don't ride motorcycle.

The motorcycle jacket on your profile looks dope. What a jacket!

I upload some fit pictures, what do you guys think of the fit? Is the sleeve lengths too long?

Thanks

They are for my taste, but I don't ride a bike so they may be fine for that.
Nice jacket btw.

They'd probably be nice on a bike. For an off the bike only jacket they're too long in my opinion. I wish most my jackets had longer sleeves especially since I have longer arms.

I suffer opsite way. All my leather jackets' sleeve lengths are too long expect A-2.

that's a monster of a jacket, between the kidney panel design and the long sleeve give vibe that it was built exclusively to ride. looks different and cool though.

just wear it 3/4 zipped on the cuff all the time. that's how I wear all my zipped cuff jackets

That jacket is a BEAST. Just the belt is 5-inches wide. Wow.

It feels like a armor. What do you think of the fit? Is the sleeve too long?

same with your own assessment, fit good on the body, a bit long on the sleeve, I have some luck with half cuffing my sleeve ends on some of my jacket by wetting it and folding up and wear to dry

Probably it reduces 1cm 1.5cm probably too marginal for the effort in your case

Thanks for your advice. This jacket is so thick, can not be cuffed. zipped on the cuff helps it hit to my waist bone. The sleeve is so snug look likes Michelin tire man. I dont know is this normal looking.

 

[navetsea]

with the sleeve zipped the creasing along the sleeve is not excessive, looks pretty normal in my eyes

Sleeves are entirely too long to wear unzipped but when zipped they are passable. For me the perfect sleeve length allows for both options not one or the other...

Interesting jacket, Im sure you'll never see another like it.. That said the sleeves are way too long..
Although most people you encounter in your day to day won't notice..
You're asking a slim segment of people who obsess about jackets to give you an opinion.. bottom line is if you like it, it was affordable and you'll wear it.. consider it a keeper..

 

[Will Zach]

Shortening the sleeves is doable, even with zippers repositioning. Will probably run around $200.

we now know where the contents of Fort Knox went to...
