How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

Good job I max. I hawked that inquired about it and got a 525 offer and went bck an forth about it. What stopped me is the 23" back from boc - hem. I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts and experience with this jacket. Congratulations on a great score. "J max launches a bomb, TOUCH DOWN "

Thanks bud. I too was a bit nervous about the back length but have owned other very short jackets (Comet, Cheyenne, Eaglesons CHP, the LW PJ27 I am wearing today-- though this has the "beavertail" that takes it to 24"). I am not the tallest bubba, which helps with the look, and just really prefer shorter jackets to ride. Fingers crossed. It does come with the belt, that alone is like $200 bones.

I recall that some time ago you mentioned that LW's MC jackets, especially their cross-zips, run a bit smaller than their other jackets. I generally have found that to be the case.

I sold a Thedi Hercules that was a bit tight and too short and bought this larger, Rainbow Country Hercules without adding any extra cash so I broke even for a change, which was nice. This one fits better and the horsehide is quite thick for a Japanese-made jacket

Congrats, these jackets are so friggin nice! My RC single riders might be my favorite jacket. I'm actually thinking of getting another one in a different color.

Let's see some fit pics man!!

Thanks Jeo and a fit pic coming asap since I refuse to take selfies. I'll get my GF to snap one later today.

I really like this jacket and the leather is surprisingly hefty on this one. Almost Aero heavy CXL in thickness. I am not a huge fan of tea core type leathers but that is a small complaint and I really like the reddish brown on this one.

Yes, when I received mine I was also surprised at how thick this leather is. I wasn't expecting something that heavy. Super nice though and wears nice as well IMO.

I'm generally not a fan of tea core leathers either. The leather on my RC is not made to wear off fast like some other leathers I've encountered though. For instance, my Real McCoys Wayward has a finish that wears off super quick. I bought my RC new and worn it quite a bit (although not broken in yet) and there is no finish wear at all so far.

Just received this Frais Reve of Toyo Enterprise. Looks brand new to me. As expected, very shiny very rigid HH. This type of leather was used by many Japanese repro makers in the early days. Can't say that this type of leather is inferior but its definitely not a top choice for jackets.

Got the same leather I suspect on my toyo Laskin Lamb grizzly repro. I’m not huge fan at the moment but I’m curious to see how it ages.

It’s super smooth and seems to be hard to get creases on it.

Your jacket looks nice btw

Thank you. It probably cracks in stead of creases. Bought it because it looks brand new and costs around USD300 when the same jacket by Real McCoy's costs twice used.

 

[Mich486]

I hope it doesn’t crack but I see what you mean. The jacket does look brand new!

Something a little different on the way....a waxed cotton Belstaff Trialmaster racing suit, circa 1950s:

It is a tad big in the shoulders and upper arm hole but otherwise darn near perfect.

Thanks guys! Before the jacket showed up I was a worried it would end up being a bit big but it all worked out.
