A great review on an excellent jacket. I, too, am a fan of JL.
@TheDonEffect , that's a really great write up that deserves a thread of its own but yeah, absolutely agreed on all points. JL makes a great, sturdy, tough & beautiful jacket in every regard, all the while being capable of miracles. Fantastic customer service, too. You can't go wrong with them.
No worries nothing wrong with a little JL love round hereThank you. Again OP, sorry for hijacking.
Monitor, I think when my second jacket is done whenever that is, I may start a thread.
Here is a type iii they did two tone 4 oz:

Damon just said mine was almost ready. Man i wish i could just go there. All these measurements are driving me nuts. I did not take into account the unfinished hem in the front on fit jacket being longer by like 1/2 inch. Specified the length plus 1/2 inch for my current mc500 and still came out shorter than fit. Luckily it works on the bike needs to be short, but not so well with work khakis low rise...cannot win em all.Just received information update that my fit jacket is ready, will go to SF maybe tomorrow to try it out.

Gonna be adding more length but then do I base it off incoming fit jacket or current leather finished mc500. Maybe i need to only order stock jackets i cant modify lol oh well gives me something to do
I think you are right I just worry everyone measures a little different. I am sure it will all work out and they always take good care of me.Alright you're coming close to the production as well! Hmm oh boy that's quite a dilemma but maybe why not give the actual desired measurement and inform Damon that it needs to be at that number so there is less confusion?
That is a good idea thanksI would do the style that some members here use, to indicate on the photo where you started measurement and where you want it to end and be more specific. Mr P gave a detailed measurement instruction example on the 5 star thread recently and that's what tony used as well and it seemed to work out for them.

No, we only use one jacket. Yes, the 2 way zip might help with the bubble. But my jackets are well fitted, and I really don't have that problem.^^ so do riders bring 2 jackets on a ride then? 1 for riding and 1 off?
Would an in between front length with a 2 way zip help with the "bubble"?
