Cross zip nation

[Will Zach]

And just cause everyone loves a bit of Buco action here are my Buco cross zip variants:

I have not seen a jacket on Carlos840, cross zip or otherwise, that does not fit perfectly. Damn. Not an easy feat to pull off.

Of all my cross zips, the Leather Togs variants are my favourite, the collared ones have a very different collar shape to your average cross zip, and the mandarin collard ones have that big sweeping curve in the front panel and really off center zipper.
They have a pretty unusual shoulder shape too, rounded but in a cool way, and the range of motion is great without shoulder gussets. They also usually have a bunch of french seams, which are always a nice touch.

They are definitely my top pick:

Your three best, along with the J23. Awesome jackets.

come with me if you want to live...this is bad ass. Looks great!

And another one you don't see everyday, this one is actually a double cross zip:

I see why, dam# brother! I already know your jacket selection and collection are out of this jacket world! The lt jackets are in a league of there own, beauty and function kiss they come together as one to create a line of jackets that posses undeniable style, elegance, and grandeur. At one glance they capture the attention and admiration of the jacket world, and so forcing oneself to ask the question " why the f#%#! DONT I HAVE ONE YET"?

YES, I love the brown tape on that main zipper, OMG

@JMax, Your J23 looks better every time I see it! Every time I hear that the j23 isn't really a good riding jacket, I kinda shelf my desire to get one. Then I see yours and the other ones on this forum and it shoots up to A MUST HAVE!

@JDMac, I hope your J23 is starting to break in! Cross zips are the baddest jackets on the planet!! They just work on a motorcycle.

All any man needs in life. As far as jackets go, I mean. There's still a bike. And maybe some place to crash.

@Hh121 After alternating wear like I just did, I agree with you. J23 is the way to go. You hear me @roadking04 ?

@Monitor damn right. Not much else to life. So long as when it rains I have a place to stay dry, life is pretty darn good.

Mine needs 3 things more time, wear,and rain. I beat my jackets down! I just need a couple more rounds!

Supposedly still being made, and at a slower pace due to the virus and factory closure...

Regius what happened to the bk you ordered?

 

[HoosierDaddy]

Can you post a shot of the back sometime?

I don't think Schott makes this model anymore.

Aw come on, guys! It's still 26 degrees Celsius (79 Fahrenheit) here - this thread is killing me, I'm busting to break out a leather jacket, any leather jacket but now especially my R Jays cross zip but it's just way too warm here. Actually, I shouldn't complain, it's perfect weather really, not too hot, not too cold, it's just right - but your photos have got me looking in the wardrobe with great envy.
