C'mon man...I mean is it entirely too redundant for me to want to own this? One thing that doesn't get mentioned too often but a feature I really like is LW's flight nylon/satin quilted liner...it's a pleasure against the skin.Awesome looking jacket and great fit! I’d love to add a LW jacket to my wardrobe but in all honesty, I’ve got too many jackets already without having to worry about putting the time into breaking a LW in properly.
Omg Now that jacket is bad ass !!!!!!!That is the most spectacular bike jacket I've ever seen. Congratulations.A package arrived last week from New York. It was my order from Stuart, a LW J23, in stock size 44, with quilted lining. I specified sleeves to be as long as a "normal" jacket could be but not actually a Tall, the largest main zipper they could supply, and 4-Oz FQHH. It weighs in a little over 8.5 lbs. It came with the snap-on fur collar, which I may start to use if I can get "used" to it.
So it's everything his website says it is. As the photos below show (taken Saturday afternoon, with about 2 days of wearing it to start the break-in) it is going to be a journey getting this horse broken! The stitching, snaps, zippers, lining, it's all so perfectly constructed. I am very impressed with attention to detail LW clearly puts into their jackets. I also like the fit, it has just enough room to allow a heavy shirt underneath, and the torso area covers my belt nearly completely. Overall, very satisfied, just working on breaking it in and hoping the FQHH become more flexible over the next few months. I'll post some front/rear/inside shots later, for now here's some fit photos:

That little "crease" in the back straightens out if I adjust the jacket a bit. Here's my Easy Rider, (by way of Sweetfights) for comparison, it's a 42 Long with 26.5" sleeves special ordered. It gets the same "crease" in the same spot as well:

Really impressed with the quality of Stu's products!
It really is an amazing jacket. You know it's spectacular when you go into a fit of superficial envy. Cannot top that one!

So why is it for sale? Fit not right? Looked good to me.It was a 6-week wait period. I'm feeling a bit emotional again as it's up for sale.

Purely financial reasons. Love the jacket, but have to let it go.
