Johnson leather Horween 6oz cxl overdye D-pocket and 4.5 -5oz CXL natural LeatherTogs project

you were right,can't let those YKK ruin this jacket.

I would not go as far as to say ruined, but these zips are really nice. I just put a two-way 10 YKK on “your” (Lol) J23 and I love it. Much more practical jacket for my particular needs.

That #14 really dwarfs the #8! Makes me want to do something with it!

Sacrilege to some, but it’s just not that important to me. If it works, I’m a happy dude. I’m the Simple Jack of zippers.

That's true.

But if I still have this j23 I will also change the zipper at sleeves to smooth non scratch zipper, those zipper just too Sharp.

No kidding, though when you wrapped them in leather like you did it helped a lot. I meant to thank you for that. Thanks.

By the way, those leather are Langlitz heavyweight cowhide, LOL!

Ha, nice. I would say that makes the jacket more valuable, right? Whatever it is, it definitely works.

Only on TFL will guys blow their wads discussing . . . . zippers (not strippers -- zippers).

I had a #8 riri zipper before, damn thing broke in just a few months. Never again, YKK has always worked for me.

That's the second or third stage of the TFL effect

Probably gonna use 15oz heavyweight Harris tweed instead of boring quilted lining, not sure how many I need to order?

Just use a chain mail lining and be done.

You are riding not showboating function manners

Tried the stripper thing in Vegas. Got to being alone with a gal in a dimly lit room. Champagne was poured. Then I was informed my card bounced and they put away the champagne and escorted me back to the lobby. And I thought she liked me...

No Jammin’ without the Ben-jamins .
You are fortunate to have been shown the lobby and not to have been given “a little ride” to see the desert.

Legend has it if you zip that jacket up and take five steps forward...you’ve lost 15lbs of water weight. Seems like a good jacket for a wrestler to drop weight in. With that heavy hide I’d use a lighter weight liner. Otherwise you’ll be swearing like mad.
Edit: sweating not swearing. But maybe both.

Good to know, thanks.
What's your recommendation for the liner? I am looking for something I can wear at late fall and early spring as well.

With a 6oz hide I’d go with cotton drill. Or maybe even a 12oz washed canvas for durability. That way you can layer for warmth when needed and just sport a t shirt when layers aren’t required.
