Looking for my dream M/C jacket

[rgraham]

If you mean biswings as in pleats or bi-swing back, I ride every day and a properly fitted non-bi swing back catches zero wind, unlike a bi-swing which catches wind like a superman cape.

I have never noticed that with any of my jackets with the bi-swing back, and can't imagine how they would catch the wind in the first place. They are out of the wind unless you ride sideways.

I can't believe that the folks up at Langlitz of Oregon can't, or won't build what you want. If you are willing to spend that kind of cash, there is none better.

That Schott looks weird to me. The position of the sleeve zippers looks out of place and it doesn't look like the arms are twisted around to show them.

Go with Langlitz and you will never feel like you are wearing an inferior product.

I just ordered another jacket from Langlitz and they were more than happy to work with me. Ended up with a "Cascade", but with quite a few changes.

I know you want HH, but their cowhide is outstanding. Also, the fit is like a glove.

I agree rgraham.
I put quite a few miles on my motorcycle per year. All my riding jackets have a bi-swing..for a reason...and have never caught the wind no matter how much I crank the throttle.

I know you listed Horse first, but Vanson's Black Comp Weight at 3.5oz is as tough as any HorseHide I've had my hands on.
And I know they could handle all your other listed details.
Start with the Thunderbird...delete the epualetts, then have them use the D-pocket setup from the HardCore or Dominator, and the non bi-swing back panel of a Dominator that they could meld into your wanted design. You can find each of your listed details in their line somewhere. It would be a custom up around seven bills plus I'd think but it would be the be-all-end-all for you, although without the FQHH.
