I just realized I have my "get out of jail free" card due to the chicken coop/run I've been building. I think if I gett financially stable alter in the year I might go for it. Might get a better deal too. Good luck on your bike Double. I think the Trumpet is a sweet ride and there's lots of juicy aftermarket parts for 'em.I'm totally beat and sore from working on that damn thing all day lol

Hello Windward;
Great pictures. Your jackets always look like poster boys for Aero Leathers.

Regards,
coffee

One more jacket question: per Amanda, the standard back of a size 46 Cafe Racer is 28", about 2" longer than my LHB, and I am thinking that I may want it a little shorter (1.5"-2"). Anyone have any advice based on experience who can advise me?

Thanks for the great high quality photos Mr Windward. Really like the look of the vintage brown fqhh - putting it on my wish list!

Pretty much the standard 2-pocket in Vintage Brown FQHH. Adding 1" to the sleeves, satin lined sleeves and bikers back. The only real tweak is a breast pocket sewn into the lining, big enough for my iPhone. Also hoping to drop 20-lbs in the next 12 weeks so i can do the jacket justice.

Epilogue: My Cafe arrived yesterday and I am extremely pleased. Fit is even better than I hoped (especially considering the extra pounds I am carrying). When I got the box my initial concern was the jacket had been stolen because of the weight of the box. I went with the "vintage" FQHH and is it considerably lighter in weight than the standard FQHH. Two minor points of concern: the sleeves are lined with satin and have to push the satin back up the sleeves after I put the jacket on. Also, there are some areas on the sleeves where the color looks a little spotty, perhaps it's the vintage finish?

I'll try to post some photos.
